AUTOMATED FLEET ROUTING (AFR) IS THE BEST ROUTING. ANYWHERE.


AFR uses sophisticated algorithms to calculate dynamic routes for your operators, delivery drivers and engineers at the click of a button, or automatically at a set time every day.


Drawing on the detailed information across your whole estate, with precise data on tap for every single machine, AFR analyses and decides the best set of routes for each vehicle across your whole fleet, with route maps and schedules.
