Extend Savings in the Field
In-vehicle navigation solution ensures precise routing
Guide drivers to optimized stops and keep them on schedule with Esri's in-vehicle navigation solution. ArcLogistics Navigator is specifically designed for trucking, fleet, and logistics applications. It creates a complete solution for organizations that need to plan optimum routes and schedules on the desktop and ensure these routes are followed in the field. ArcLogistics Navigator will help fleets use less fuel, reduce vehicle wear and tear from unnecessary miles driven, and improve customer satisfaction by meeting tight time windows. Organizations that use it typically save 15 to 20 percent in fleet-related costs within months of implementation. Because ArcLogistics Navigator is tightly integrated with ArcLogistics, the powerful solvers in ArcLogistics desktop consider customer time windows, vehicle capacity, driver specialty, and the nature of the street network when creating optimized routes. Route planners can send optimized stops directly to in-vehicle devices. This ensures that drivers follow the exact streets chosen for the route. Minimize the time and mileage caused by missed turns and stops with the audible turnby-turn directions, constant updates on the vehicle's location, and on-screen map provided by ArcLogistics Navigator. Dispatchers can provide drivers with barrier information, such as road closures, construction, or traffic incidents, as well as which roads should be used in route calculations, based on the kind of road or vehicle type or size. Because it's a GPS application, should drivers stray from the route, ArcLogistics Navigator will reroute them to the next stop in the optimized route. ArcLogistics Navigator includes NAVTEQ map data for the United States, Canada, and Europe. The NAVTEQ dataset for ArcLogistics Navigator includes the latest street geometry with navigational attributes that facilitate turn-by-turn directions and enable in-dash vehicle and portable navigation devices, route planning, and map display services. NAVTEQ's extensive street database provides ArcLogistics users with a high level of accuracy and helps them find locations and efficient routes to their destinations. ArcLogistics Navigator runs on Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows Mobile devices (Windows Mobile 5 and 6). Learn more about ArcLogistics Navigator at www. esri.com/arclogistics. Users outside the United States should contact their Esri international distributor (www.esri.com/distributors). Esri offers a free Web training seminar, Introduction to ArcLogistics Navigator.
