RSS1623 Telogis has  acquired the assets of Maptuit, a leading provider of connected navigation for commercial fleets. This acquisition, the company’s fifth in three years, expands its services as the market increases adoption of location-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. Maptuit’s commercial navigation technologies further enhance the Telogis enterprise platform of SaaS solutions, which includes fleet management, navigation, multi-vehicle route optimisation and planning, work order management and mobile integration.

Enhancements to the Telogis platform resulting from this acquisition include an advanced location-based service (LBS) engine that receives feedback from the field on road conditions and physical restrictions that may not be captured by commercial and open source map data. These capabilities are critical not only to the commercial navigation markets where Maptuit has been successful, but also to industries such as mining, and oil and gas, which operate in remote regions where map data coverage is limited.

Maptuit’s technologies also allow users to specify ‘known-good’ routes and yard-approaches. The company says these capabilities help companies improve the safety of route operations and are increasingly important in international markets where bonded routes exist.
