Paragon Software Systems has added new capabilities to its routing and scheduling solutions that brings in real world data about street-level mapping, road speeds, and truck attributes.
The additional modules add precision to transportation plans based on real-world data, creating a truer reflection of actual driver journeys that are more realistic.

“When producing a transportation plan, managers want to get as close to reality as possible,” said William Salter, CEO and resident, Paragon Software Systems. “These modules make the plans more accurate so that the slack often included within the plan goes from an average of 15% to 0%, meaning that you can give your customers much more accurate delivery times at lower costs.”
The Street Level Mapping module is designed to improve dense drop delivery performance, urban planning efficiency and planning accuracy. It is aimed at dense urban transport operations like home delivery and optimizes schedules by offering:
Direction of Travel (One-Way)
Turn Restrictions (No Left, Right or U-Turn)
Street Level Routing Functionality
Address-Range Geocoding
The Average Road Speed Data module provides a calculated average speed in each direction on road links for which enough speed data is available. It is calculated using historical traffic flow velocities captured for a mix of vehicle types to improve journey time estimates.
Truck Attribute Data has been added to prevent detours and reduce mileage. It streamlines the creation of cost effective transport plans that avoid truck restrictions by:

Featuring physical height, weight, width and length (HWWL) information for primary, main and some secondary road networks
Including similar non-physical restrictions that apply 24/7 such as travelling at certain hours only within a residential section
Enabling the automatic calculation of transport plans that avoid, for example, low bridges when using high vehicles
James Victory of NOV discusses how the company manages fleet safety, maintenance, and telematics across more than 150 locations supporting oilfield operations throughout the U.S.
Departmentally assigned vehicles often create hidden costs through underutilization, poor visibility, and increased administrative burden. This white paper explores how shared motor pool strategies help fleets reduce costs, improve accountability, and optimize vehicle utilization.

AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
