Descartes Systems Group, a global on-demand software-as-a-service (SaaS) logistics solutions provider, has enhanced its route management solutions with extensive location-based service (LBS) capabilities.

The enhanced LBS technology is being applied across Descartes' Delivery Management Suite of route management solutions and includes new mapping capabilities that leverage expanded road data, historical traffic patterns, real-time traffic information and point-of-interest attributes.
The solutions also have enhanced image quality and rendering speed, enhanced geocoding speed and accuracy, support for larger geographic areas and expanded route optimization related attributes. These advanced capabilities are already being used by more than 30 Descartes on-demand route management customers.
