NEW SCRIPTING LANGUAGE FROM INTERGIS
ALLOWS EASY CUSTOMIZATION OF ROUTING, SCHEDULING AND DISPATCHING
FUNCTIONS.
Users of Visual Control Room can create special tasks or
customize VCR for their environment.
TORRINGTON, CT -- InterGis, leading developers of multi-user
software systems that automate routing, scheduling, dispatching
and vehicle optimization, announced the immediate availability
of RouteScript, a new scripting language that can plug-in
to existing InterGis products or interface with virtually
any other backend software application to provide customized,
dynamic routing, scheduling and dispatching functions automatically.
As an enterprise integration tool used in environments where
management of remote service technicians or pickup/delivery
vehicles is critical, RouteScript successfully integrates
data such as customer information, driver/worker locations,
service tasks/work orders and more than 200 other customizable
business rules, to then provide optimized schedules, routes
and daily work plans. The results are displayed within the
host application and can be run in "real-time," scheduled
in batch mode or executed based on triggering events. Users
of InterGis' Visual Control Room can interface VCR with RouteScript
to customize and automate any function within the application.
"RouteScript helps reduce the cost and time associated with
data integration by providing a cost-effective and extremely
easy-to-use scripting tool that enables database administrators
and developers to design and build dynamic routing, scheduling
and dispatching functions for their own business environment
quickly and efficiently right within their existing management
information applications," said Steven Brown, Sr. "There is
no syntax to learn and all potential errors are detected by
the software, yet the tool is completely customizable."
Any CRM, enterprise or web-enabled application managing data
can take advantage of the powerful new tool. The range of
capabilities that RouteScript can deliver to existing applications
is numerous and includes literally hundreds of typical tasks
routinely performed manually by companies managing field services
or transportation & delivery operations. Some of these
functions include the following: Mapping of customer locations,
optimizing routes for multiple stops a day for multiple workers/drivers,
managing and assigning work orders to the correct field resource,
automating dispatching functions, enabling data to be transmitted
to wireless devices, GPS tracking, automating customer communications,
improving incoming/outgoing customer service calls and a complete
set of management reporting capabilities.
Existing InterGis customers already using Visual Control
Room can run RouteScript alongside VCR to customize any function
quickly and easily. Dispatching workers, importing customer
data, scheduling same-day services, tracking mobile resources
and generating reports, to name just a few, can be completely
customized and automated using point-and-click screens built
into RouteScript.
"Our existing customers have benefited for years from the
easy-to-use software tools we've made available in Visual
Control Room that automate the daily manual tasks of planning
and plotting customer needs with mobile workers," commented
Brown. "Customizing software is typically both costly and
a slow process. Now, with RouteScript, our VCR users can automate
and customize how VCR works in their business for themselves.
With this capability, we are staying true to our mission of
enhancing efficiency and automating tasks that increase productivity
for minimal cost and therefore provides direct benefit to
users' profitability."
InterGis developed Visual Control Room, the only true multi-user
automated routing, scheduling, dispatching, vehicle optimization
and territory planning system for companies involved in service,
distribution and transportation operations. By optimizing
routes, schedules, vehicle and driver availability, companies
can reduce their dispatch time by 50% and direct transportation
costs by 25% or more.
