Earlier this year, Ireland introduced the new Eircode system, bringing with it new logistics opportunities for businesses operating across the country. The Truckstops software works by improving the quality of address data, providing the information needed to locate and optimise deliveries at premise level.

As well as using Eircode locations, Truckstops users can also use the HERE geocoding system for locations that are yet to receive their Eircode or where customers have not supplied it. Alternatively, the HERE satellite map view allows the user to utilise satellite imagery to pin-point a delivery. Added UK Postcodes means Truckstops can offer an all-Ireland logistics solution.

Truckstops Ireland aims to assist logistics planners across the country, whether they operate fixed routes or use daily scheduling. The software correlates a number of variables including vehicle capacity and availability, drivers’ hours, as well as considering multiple time windows in which drops or pick-ups can be made.

According to Truckstops users worldwide, benefits achieved from using the system include fuel bills reduced by 10-30%, typical route planning time cut in half and maximised vehicle use.
