SDRoutes now provides multiple route generation engines

The main purpose of the new version is to integrate multiple route optimization engines into our service. This will allow our customers to select the engine that best suits their needs and budget. Every engine provider tends to specialize their product for a specific distribution sector e.g. Courier, Oil & Gas, LTL, TL etc. SDRoutes wants to provide every sector of the distribution industry with an affordable, maintenance free route generation solution that will answer their specific needs. The transition for our existing customers will be automatic and transparent therefore effort less.

Security

Your company and customers information is not transferred over the internet. Only a file containing a list of invoices (orders) code along with an address.

We require contact information at registration to prevent illegal use of our application, offer a better customer support and to send you back the generated optimized routes.

Pricing

Registration is required and free. Upon registration, a free one(1) month trial package is automatically provided to your account allowing our customer to include this step in their existing process.

Currently, the base price is under 2$ per route when paying on a per usage basis.

Multiple monthly packages are also available with discount according to your fleet size.

Payment

All payments are done through Paypal using their secure connection. Eventually, we are considering having a direct payment method through a secure gateway to save you time and the need to go on Paypal's web site. It would also give us more flexibility for our packages. We would also need to store part or all of your credit card information for monthly automatic processing. Let us know your thoughts on that.

Support

A new generation of customer support is offered to you which allows our customers to interact with each other along with the support and development teams and to view the status of their issues in real time.
