ProMiles Software Development Corp., Bridge City, Texas, says its latest software allows greater flexibility for users.

According to the company, ProMiles XF contains a modular application platform and new functions that allow users of either ProMiles Fuel Management or ProMiles Fuel Tax to access the ProMiles Mileage Guide from within the same program.
Other features that were only available at an additional cost in previous versions are now part of the base product.
Among the “now included” functions is Fuel Purchase Optimization. ProMiles claims that savings of 4 to 8 cents per gallon are common along most routes, with significantly higher savings potential on most trips over 500 miles.
ProMiles Fuel Purchase Optimization also allows users to specify truckstop features, such as showers or restaurants when using the optimization program.
“While it can decrease the number of stations to consider in optimizing purchases, it can also lead to greater acceptance of a fuel optimization program by drivers,” said ProMiles’ Tony Stroncheck. “Let’s face it, in most cases it is still up to the driver to ultimately decide where to purchase fuel. Allowing the user to specify these things may exclude some stops, but on the other hand, allows the driver to accomplish several tasks in one stop which results in time saved.”
A new look enhances maps that now include Mexico as well as the U.S. and Canada. New toolbar functionality allows users to change routing method while viewing the map. An optional split screen enables a detailed map, routing directions and an extended overall view on one screen. The user can place up to eight separate routes on the map at one time to allow for enhanced tracking or route comparison capabilities. Also new for this version is a greatly expanded rating section capable of handling a wide variety of rating methods.
Some mileage guide functions still come with an additional price, including the first offering of street-level mapping for Canada by a trucking industry specific application. Other add-on features for the Mileage Guide include U. S. street-level mapping, the ability to import locations from other programs, Canadian Postal Codes, expanded Canadian City Names and customizable Trip Sheets.
