Rand McNally's Transportation Data Management subsidiary has licensed its IntelliRoute Deluxe software to James Helwig & Son, a more than 200-truck provider of dry and refrigerated transportation services.

IntelliRoute was chosen by the company as part of a larger solution that will improve profitability by lowering the company's commercial truck routing costs from the time of dispatch to the time of delivery.
The solution combines Rand McNally's IntelliRoute Deluxe, Integrated Decision Support Corporation's (IDSC) Expert Fuel, a real-time fuel optimization program, and Innovative Computing Corporation's Innovative Enterprise Software (IES) route dispatching software.
The Texas-based carrier selected Rand McNally's IntelliRoute Deluxe software as an upgrade to the Rand McNally MileMaker software package it currently uses in order to take advantage of IntelliRoute's Lowest-Cost Routing feature.
The new combined solution will enable Helwig & Son to capture order information from ICC's dispatch program, overlay IDSC's real-time fuel pricing information to take the guesswork out of where to buy the lowest cost fuel on each dispatch, and then use Rand McNally's IntelliRoute Deluxe to calculate the lowest cost routes. IntelliRoute's optimized route is then delivered wirelessly to Helwig & Son drivers in-cab.
