Major upgrades announced to routing software

Aug. 6, 2012

More than 50 enhancements are included in the release of Paragon Vision 5.6, the routing and scheduling optimization software from Paragon Software Systems.

To find more efficient routing solutions, optimization processes in Version 5.6 now include enhanced automatic routing capabilities, which allow users to specifically target fleet reduction as a cost-cutting objective, Paragon said. New options also include the ability to stop the automatic routing process and review the current result, storing job-specific macros, filters, tables and reports together for easier access and use.

“Paragon’s software development team has responded to client requests, industry changes and technological developments to deliver significant enhancements and improvements to our vehicle routing and scheduling solutions,” said Phil Ingham, support director at Paragon. “Fleets can now use these capabilities to cut costs, make better use of their resources and improve service levels. This ongoing development based on real-world requirements is one reason why Paragon is experiencing continued expansion in the U.S. market and bringing its advanced solution to a growing number of companies.”

Mapping enhancements in the latest version of Paragon’s software allow the Workbench user interface to display information on a Google Map automatically for a fast, accurate and familiar visual reference.

 The exporting of data to an SQL database now happens automatically as part of improved reporting capabilities. The latest version also incorporates Fleet Controller and Resource Manager functionality improvements.
