A 30-day structured pilot that runs your real routes through HERE truck-grade routing and shows the difference, measured.
HERE routing models the vehicle. Google, OSRM and Mapbox model a car. These are the attributes that decide whether a route is legal for a truck:
Over 30 days we run up to 500 of your real routes through HERE truck-grade routing and deliver a comparison report: how many of your routes violated truck restrictions, the ETA accuracy delta, and specific routes where HERE produced a compliant path. You get direct engineering support throughout — not a support queue. The $1,500 is credited in full toward your contract if you move forward.
Consumer routing engines model a car. They ignore vehicle height, weight, length, axle count, and hazmat class — so they route trucks onto roads they can’t legally take. HERE routing models the vehicle, which is why the same origin and destination produce a different, compliant route and a more accurate ETA.
No. You send us a representative sample of your real routes and vehicle attributes, and we run the comparison. Integration comes after the pilot, once you’ve seen the difference on your own lanes — with our engineering team supporting the rollout under one Placematic contract.
Then you’ve spent $1,500 to find out your current routing already handles trucks well — which is worth knowing. In practice, every fleet has restriction points on their network they didn’t know about. The report shows you exactly where they are, whether you move forward or not.
