DriveTimeFinda
(Self-Hosted, Server)

Exploit the power of drive time and distance calculations throughout your company

Overview

Using our self hosted, multi-threaded Webservice you can integrate drive time and distance based calculations on your website, or applications used within the company. This is an ideal solution for an internal quotation system or expense checker designed for multiple queries allowing use by a number of operators. Combined with your own metrics you can create a powerful quote system, estimate journey times and cost analysis for travelling salesman/engineers or even include maps overlayed with the recommend route.

  • Base your results on either the quickest time or shortest distance using the network.
  • Obtain co-ordinate outputs to enable you to overlay your results onto background maps.
  • Take advantage of multiple cores and processors with multi-threading capabilities that allow the software to serve multiple requests at once.
