Zumstein, Inc. Selects Route Advice from IDSC to Optimize Delivery Efficiency and Driver Safety
01.24.2007 Richardson, TX -

Integrated Decision Support Corporation (IDSC), a leading provider of optimization and decision support software for the truckload carrier, welcomes Zumstein, Inc. as a new customer of the Route Advice® solution. Zumstein, Inc. is a premier transportation company operating over 350 power units servicing the 48 contiguous United States as well as parts of Mexico and Canada. Zumstein, Inc. has been a customer of IDSC's Expert Fuel® and Trip Alert® solutions since 2005.

"We plan to utilize Route Advice to give our drivers the most accurate street level directions possible, while minimizing messaging costs," said Doug Wall, CFO and Dirk Horst, COO for Zumstein, Inc. "The seamless integration of Route advice to our dispatch and mobile communications systems further leverages our investments in our Maddocks and Aether technologies."

Route Advice combines best-in-class data sources with your existing dispatch and mobile communications systems to provide your drivers with the most accurate turn-by-turn directions available. Route Advice trumps static or system directions by always keeping pace with the location of the vehicle at all times. This enables Route Advice to provide directions, from the current vehicle location to the customer, from the planned route to the customer, and from the customer back to the planned route. Route Advice also keeps customer information current up-to-the-minute by integrating with dispatch in real-time--every time a new customer is added, Route Advice automatically geocodes that customer location. Advanced geocoding capabilities are built-in to counter incorrect or incomplete address information. This, plus our unique customer "alias" concept resolves exceptions ensuring latitude/longitude precision.

"Only Route Advice offers an exclusive blend of technologies that recognize the dynamic nature of the vehicle, the dynamic nature of customers, accuracy of customer information and the volume of customer information to deliver the most exact driver-to-destination directions possible," said Dave Harris, VP of Sales for IDSC.
