With increasing competitive pressure, delivery and service fleets must meet all customer requirements while simultaneously becoming more efficient. This is where Smartlane software comes in. The system collects and uses &quot;Smart Mobility Data&quot; to enable dynamic order and route management. Routes are optimized in real time \u2013 taking into account fleet resource utilization, fuel costs, and traffic volume. Several hundred drivers can be re-coordinated within seconds.<\/p>\n<h3>Significant cost reduction and all-round service for all involved<\/h3>\n<p>Fleet visualization for the route manager, along with a mobile driver app and automatic messages to end customers, offer a comprehensive service for everyone involved. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) version is complemented by a solution with an API interface. This allows Smartlane to serve logistics companies that are embracing digitalization for the first time, as well as those that rely on existing IT systems. Smartlane enables its business customers to reduce operating costs by up to 35 percent. The beta launch took place in June 2016. The software is currently being used by several test customers.<\/p>\n<h3>In focus: The complete automation of the logistics industry<\/h3>\n<p>The four-person founding team has been developing the solution for digital delivery management since mid-2015.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&quot;Our technology is based on the knowledge gained from more than 20 years of research at the interface between IT and traffic engineering at the Technical University of Munich. To this end, we conducted intensive market research on the current challenges facing the logistics industry.
