GeoRoute is also suited for non-postal operations with similar requirements, such as waste collection. The software features powerful optimization tools that minimize the number of routes required to service a given area. A complete set of interactive map-based tools allows you to make any required change to the routes proposed by the software, or even create your own. You can then produce detailed maps and reports that accurately document each route. Designed for postal operations Postal operations involve several types of collection and delivery, and thus several routing problems.
Mail delivery is especially complex, often involving a combination of travel modes.
Parcel delivery and courier service present a challenge because locations to service change everyday. GeoRoute is specifically designed to meet these requirements, reflecting GIRO's work with some of the world's larger postal administrations. GeoRoute was purchased and is being deployed by Deutsche Post in Germany, the Post Office in the UK and La Poste in Belgium. All are applying GeoRoute to mail delivery operations. In Germany, GeoRoute is also now applied to parcel delivery, as well as strategic planning through simulation capabilities.
