Routemaster was an expansion of Interlink product to offer order management, dispatch and route optimisation in an easy-to-use product that offered smaller fleets the option of deploying state-of-the-art route optimisation and order dispatch services provided on a SaaS sales model. Hence, the cost of ownership was affordable for smaller fleets, this was an industry first at the time of the product launch.
As product owner, I led the investigation and development of route optimisation, backend integration, companion apps and a range of APIs to interface with existing order management and CRM solutions. This project took around two years from inception to delivering a SaaS product to the first customers.
We developed internal tools for processing raw vector data from HERE maps, historical traffic flow data and TMC codes. We combined them into a bespoke geospatial file format ready for use in our optimisation solution.
Routemaster also offered full job dispatch with iOS and Android driver apps to download their orders and capture signatures, photos and order feedback.
