Princeton, New Jersey – November 4, 2014 - ALK, a Trimble Company and global leader in GeoLogistics® solutions and navigation software, and TMW Systems, a Trimble Company and leading provider of enterprise transportation management software, today announced the integration of ALK® Maps across a variety of products within TMW’s portfolio of transportation and fleet management solutions, including:
The integration provides TMW customers using these solutions with access to interactive street-level maps with satellite imagery and optional weather overlays, real-time traffic and speed data with enhanced ETAs, hazardous materials routing functionality and more.
“TMW customers can benefit from the new visualization offerings now found within our TMS solutions,” said TMW executive vice president of marketing, Scott Vanselous. “The common Maps user interface across our products provides a means to visualize and obtain critical fleet and asset information in context with street level conditions, increase operational efficiencies and improve customer service.”

Additional capabilities include the ability to conduct post trip route analysis for compliance, compare planned versus actual routes, review driver performance and generate out-of-route mileage reports.
