Supply Chain & Logistics Mapping Software

Route optimization software works out the most efficient order of stops for a trip, rather than drawing a straight line between them. Maptive sequences up to 73 stops per route on real road networks to minimize travel time, then exports turn-by-turn directions to a driver's phone. Logistics and delivery teams use it to cut mileage, fit more stops into a day, and give drivers routes they can follow, all from a stop list they upload as a spreadsheet.

You upload a list of stops, and Maptive geocodes each address onto the map. The routing engine then calculates the sequence that minimizes total travel time across the trip, holding the start and end points where you set them and ordering everything in between. The result follows real roads, not straight lines, so it follows how a vehicle drives. You can drag a stop to override the order, and the route and distances recalculate immediately.

Up to 73 stops per trip. The engine sequences them to minimize travel time on real road networks, and turn-by-turn directions export to a driver's phone or navigation app. For larger operations, you build multiple routes and color-code them on one map, so a fleet's worth of trips is visible together. Drag any stop to adjust the order, and the path and travel times update in place, which makes last-minute changes quick rather than a full replan.

A distance matrix calculates travel time or distance between many origins and destinations at once, producing a table rather than a single route. In logistics, that is the groundwork for comparing options. Examples include which depot is closest to a cluster of customers, how facilities stack up against demand, or how to assign stops between vehicles. Maptive's distance matrix weighs those choices across the whole network at once, instead of checking one pair of points at a time.

Teams using Maptive report fuel costs down 18% and 22% more service calls completed, with some fleets cutting more than $100,000 in fuel quarterly. The savings come from two places, sequencing each route on real roads to remove wasted miles and balancing load across routes so no vehicle runs a lopsided day. Because the gains repeat on every trip, the effect compounds across a quarter, which is why the fuel line is usually where the impact shows up first.

Yes. Draw drive-time polygons around a candidate warehouse or hub to see how far it reaches within a service window, then layer demand data underneath to find where a site covers the most customers for the fewest miles. The distance matrix compares facility options across the network at once. Together these turn a facility decision, which usually rests on intuition and a rough map, into a measured comparison of reach and cost before a lease or build is committed.

A drive-time polygon, or isochrone, maps the area reachable from a point within a set number of minutes along real roads. For facility planning, it answers the question that matters. It shows how much of your demand a warehouse or hub can serve inside a delivery window. Maptive draws these around candidate sites, and overlaying demand data inside them shows coverage and gaps, so you place distribution where it shortens routes.

Yes. The automated optimizer builds even delivery and service zones from stop density, drive-time limits, and the data fields you upload, so no route carries twice the load of the one beside it. When volume shifts or you add a driver, the zones recalculate against current data, and you can preview the change before publishing it. Balanced zones keep overtime predictable and service windows realistic, which matters as much to a logistics operation as the routing inside each zone.

A single Maptive map holds up to 200,000 markers, rendered with WebGL so the view stays responsive. Every depot, vehicle, and delivery point loads together rather than across regional files, which is what lets you plan and balance at the network level instead of region by region. That capacity also supports the distance-matrix and territory tools, since comparing facilities or evening out zones only works when the whole network sits on one screen at the same time.

No. Maptive is built for operations and logistics teams, not GIS specialists. You upload a spreadsheet of stops or customers, the platform geocodes it, and the routing, territory, and distance tools work through a plain interface. Most teams build a usable route or zone plan in their first session, and support is on hand to set up the first map. The aim is to put network planning in the hands of the people running the operation.
