Cut compute costs with ORTEC’s patented VSPA algorithm: faster route optimization for logistics, mapping, and supply chain platforms. Read on and learn more.

Calculating shortest paths on maps is central to mapping platforms, logistics software, and network optimization. Yet, high computing costs, scalability hurdles, and latency slow down even the most sophisticated supply chain management and route optimization solutions.

Prevailing Industry Challenges:

• Rising cloud and compute costs for routing and logistics management software.
• Scalability limits for truck routing software, delivery route planner, and large network calculations.
• Delayed responses for transportation management system and supply chain process solutions.
• Less bandwidth for innovation due to heavy workloads on existing logistics optimization systems.
