ArcLogistics in the GIS Department

Using ArcLogistics in a central GIS department allows local governments to validate and audit the routes of other departments and to supply needed data to assist in requesting additional vehicles and resources. The central GIS department can help streamline operations by demonstrating more efficient ways to route vehicles.

Applications Include Public Works, Inspectors, and More

Local governments have various vehicle fleets that require routing and optimization while honoring complex business rules. Applications include housing inspections, property appraisals, building inspections, public works, solid waste pickup, work crews, special needs transportation, voter booth materials, county health inspections, and many more. The applications are as wide and varied as the number of departments within counties and cities.

ArcLogistics benefits users by allowing them to have a single person routing instead of all inspectors spending hours routing themselves within their territories. Routing can be fully dynamic, static, or a hybrid combination in which the user can allow ArcLogistics Route to optimize the complete solution and then manually fine-tune it to specific rules. Instead of recruiting additional inspectors, many counties are now realizing that they can actually do more with less, and additional recruitment is no longer required.

Using Your Street Centerline Data

Many cities and counties have their own street centerline data that is more current than commercially available sets. It is possible to use this data in ArcLogistics Route once it has been formatted correctly. ESRI has a free extension to ArcGIS that will assist in formatting your street centerline data, plus a white paper containing street data specifications. This enables local governments to leverage their GIS-created street data by lowering the product cost and having the latest street segments available for routing.
