RouteView Slashes as Much as 30% of Fuel and Other Delivery Costs of Home Furnishings, Appliance and Wholesale Distribution Companies

MANASSAS, Va., Oct. 24, 2005 -- With fuel prices at record highs, companies providing delivery services are still saving tens of thousands of dollars in delivery expenses -- as much as 30 percent of their costs in fuel, mileage and manpower -- by using a unique and powerful product called RouteView. RouteView is a map-based software system that turns hours of route planning into minutes, ensures correct addresses and efficient routes, helps to balance workloads, calculates mileage and sets a productive pace to help drivers.

Results can be dramatic -- cutting route planning time by as much as 75 percent. One RouteView customer, a wholesale distributor in Lancaster, PA, for example, saved 348 miles per day (x an average of 260 work days per year), cutting 90,480 miles and 2,600 labor hours off of his delivery routes. RouteView's advanced routing capabilities integrate with a company's enterprise system to ensure a closed-loop process from order to delivery. This saves a tremendous amount of time spent on data entry and manual processing.

In addition to route planning, RouteView also includes two other major benefits: GPS and a Call Center system.

  - The RouteView Wireless/GPS service tracks, in real-time, the day against
    the plan. It automatically alerts users to arrivals, completed
    deliveries, late deliveries, refusals and more on the map, in the
    database and by e-mail directly to supervisors. Users can alert drivers
    to important information. Supervisors and other key personnel can
    receive automated email alerts regarding important field and delivery
    situations as they occur.
  - Using the newest telephony and interactive text-to-speech technologies,
    the RouteView Call Center helps build a stronger customer service
    program. It automatically calls customers in advance to verify correct
    addresses and confirm delivery times. This ensures that drivers have the
    correct locations, and that customers are prepared for a driver's
    arrival and are more satisfied with the level of service.

Jay Landau, principal at RouteView, said, "For some of our clients, this has already resulted in savings of $85,000 to $120,000 per year and has even enabled them to eliminate one or more delivery vehicles while providing better customer service. They save money on delivery and make money on customer satisfaction and loyalty. Industry reaction to RouteView has been very strong and we are excited about the number of new customers adopting the system. We have over a decade of industry experience with proven success in hundreds of installations."
