Written by ALK Technologies | 22 March, 2018

Although every journey is unique, businesses still require predictability in terms of time and cost. Therefore companies need access to a planning, driving and analysis platform that provides flexibility and customisation for your business.

What Is The ALK Platform?

ALK’s platform is a location powered toolset for every part of the journey. We offer a flexible routing, mapping, mileage and navigation platform. It is rooted in rich commercial vehicle data and powered by our location engine at the core.

Who Will It Help?

Whether you are an end user, looking to enhance your mobility workflow solution or a partner, we can help.  Our functionality can be used individually, or as a complete set for the highest level of operational accuracy and consistency. We work across a broad range of industries including Post, Parcel and Courier, Oil and Gas, the Emergency Services and Utilities. The ALK platform consists of these three core components:

PlanThe first step of every journey is planning. With ALK’s platform, you will be able to build accurate, optimized and efficient routes:

  • Generate accurate mileage results and drive times through the last mile with address to address routing
  • Predictive routing based on real-time and historic traffic and weather conditions
  • Easily compare alternative route options by displaying the distance, drive times, and toll costs for each route in the same window
  • Set vehicle and route profiles to keep drivers and assets safe on legal roads
  • Input mandatory rest periods and SLA time windows into the route planning for accurate ETAs
  • Visualize the driver's route

AnalyzeThe drive is over, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. Improve your future routes by integrating post-trip visualization & reporting:

  • Monitor driver adherence to planned vs driven route to maximize operational efficiency 
  • Streamline management of in-cab navigation with web-based remote configuration tools
