ALK Technologies, a Trimble Co. and a transportation technology and mobility solutions provider, has announced that its latest version of its routing, mileage, and mapping software, PC*MILER 30, is now tested and approved in TMW's portfolio of transportation and fleet management products, including ExpertFuel software, TMWSuite 2016 0311 software, TMW Operations 16.40.10139 software, TruckMate 2016 software, TruckMate 2015 SP3 software, and IES, Innovative Access and Access Plus software.

"Being able to offer TMW's large and diverse customer base access to PC*MILER's latest software enhancements is a real success for us," said Bill Maddox, Vice President of PC*MILER, ALK Technologies, in a prepared statement. "The new functionality can streamline operations in both the back office and on the road with planning features that focus on efficiency, safety, and compliance."


Users will gain access to the latest street-level maps of North America with updated addresses, roadways, and commercial vehicle restrictions for precise mileages, drive times, and overall trip cost estimates.

Customers will also have the option to benefit from additional PC*MILER 30 features that include a new weather visualization and reporting tool for making critical decisions to route drivers safely around a potentially hazardous area, notify customers of a potential delay, or simply monitor the route throughout the designated alert times; more precise ETAs and drive times with the choice to set governor road speeds; and improved Hours of Service (HOS) compliance tools to keep drivers safe and compliant. The use of these optional integrations or interfaces with TMW software may require the purchase of additional software licenses and professional services from TMW Systems.
