Fleet optimization

Draw on fast and labor costs, and improve your company's business operations. Thanks to optimized routes, extend your time — complete more routes in one day with the same amount of resources. Moreover, optimized routing improves service reliability.

Make the right decisions

Fix route planning, correct distances and travel time calculations. Calculate route and trip costs and calculate routes taking into account truck restrictions such as weight, height, axle load. As a result, algorithms can reduce travel time and operational costs.

Attractive prices

Transparent pricing model based on the number of vehicles or number of transactions. The platform provides a collection of many different functionalities useful in running your business.
WHY PLACEMATIC route

Why US companies use Placematic Route.

Six things engineering and data teams consistently call out — built into every plan, from pilot through enterprise.

Weekly updates

Topicality

The basis of good quality maps is their timeliness. Every day 28 terabytes of data are collected, which are later processed and made available in weekly updates.
Real-time traffic

Precision

To accurately estimate the route and time, we use historical data on average speeds and traffic. We enrich them with information on current driving conditions updated every minute.
Multi-stop · Fleet

Optimization

By optimizing truck routes, analyzing fuel consumption, and routing with multiple waypoints, customers can more easily interpret the complexity of their routes.
Waypoints · Stops

Multi-options

In addition to the start and end points, you can also set intermediate points. The algorithm will determine the optimal route taking into account the shortest route, the shortest time or the value of individual points.
1B+ routes/year

Thousands of satisfied customers

Our route calculation services are integrated in many professional solutions for route planning and optimization available on the market.

USE CASES

Who uses Geocoding API

Fleet & ELD
Calculate truck-compliant routes for commercial vehicles — road restrictions, weight limits, hazmat routing, and toll cost estimation. Power your driver app or dispatch system with production-grade routing.
Logistics & Delivery
Optimize multi-stop delivery sequences with time windows and vehicle capacity constraints. Reduce total fleet mileage and improve on-time delivery rates across your distribution network.
SaaS platforms
Embed routing into any product with a single REST API call. Returns geometry, maneuvers, ETA, and toll data — ready to render on any map library without additional processing.

Frequently asked questions.

It’s a REST routing API built on Placematic’s own spatial infrastructure. It calculates optimal routes between any two or more points — for cars, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians — with real-time traffic, road restrictions, toll cost estimation, and multi-stop optimization. Returns route geometry, ETA, distance, and maneuvers in JSON format.

Yes. Truck routing accounts for commercial vehicle restrictions — bridge heights, weight limits, axle load limits, hazmat transport rules, and time-based urban access restrictions. Returns routes that are legally compliant for the vehicle profile you specify.

Yes. The Routing API supports multiple waypoints in a single request. For large-scale fleet optimization across many stops and vehicles, use the HERE Tour Planning API — also available through Placematic — which handles complex fleet-wide optimization with time windows and capacity constraints.

Yes. EV routing is available as a separate mode — calculating energy-aware routes for electric vehicles with automatic charging stop insertion based on battery range, connector type, and charging curve. See the HERE EV Routing API page for full details.

At 200,000 monthly route requests — Google Maps costs approximately $850. Placematic Routing API costs approximately $149. That’s a saving of $700 per month at that volume. Use the cost calculator on this page to estimate your specific volume.

Real-time traffic data is included in every route calculation — current speeds, incident data, and congestion levels. Historical traffic patterns are also available for predictive routing and departure time optimization. Traffic data updates continuously from GPS probes and connected vehicle data.

Yes. The API accepts route preference parameters — you can avoid toll roads, ferry crossings, highways, or unpaved roads. You can also optimize for shortest distance, fastest time, or lowest toll cost depending on your operational priority.
