Fleet & ELD
Location infrastructure for fleet and ELD platforms.
Placematic gives fleet tech companies the spatial APIs, maps, and territory tools they need to build better products — without managing location infrastructure themselves.

Spatial APIs + SaaS platform in one
The problem
Building location features is harder than it looks.
01
Vendor sprawl
Stitching together multiple vendors for maps, routing, and geocoding adds complexity and cost.
02
Infrastructure drag
Maintaining location infrastructure takes engineering time away from your core product.
03
Not built for fleets
Generic mapping tools aren't built for fleet operations — you need spatial logic, not just a map. See it on your routes →
The solution
Everything your fleet platform needs, delivered as APIs and SaaS.
/routing
Routing API
Optimized routes for single and multi-stop deliveries. Supports real-world constraints: time windows, vehicle types, load capacity — and returns expected toll cost for the vehicle you described, so dispatch quotes the load before the truck moves. Why that number moves 166% →
/geocode
Geocoding & Address Search
Convert addresses to coordinates and back. High-accuracy geocoding for US addresses with autocomplete.
/maps
Digital Maps
Embeddable map tiles for your product UI. Lightweight, fast, HERE-powered.
/upgrid
Territory Management (UpGrid)
Define, visualize, and manage service areas, zones, and coverage territories across your fleet network.

Side by side
Same route. One is legal for a truck.
Your dispatchers can ask these questions directly from an AI agent. The
exposes truck-legal routing with vehicle dimensions as a callable tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Placematic USA LLC is always the contracting and billing party. One agreement, one invoice, one point of contact.
Yes, computed against the vehicle profile you supply — class, axle count, dimensions, weight. It matters more than it sounds: on one Illinois lane the same route returns 166% more toll with a full profile than without one, and the unprofiled request returns HTTP 200 with no warning that the number describes a different vehicle. Google’s large vehicle routing documentation lists truck toll prices as unsupported.
Yes. Our services are modular. You can start with a single API and expand as your needs grow.
Most integrations go from API access to first production deploy in 1–3 weeks, depending on complexity.
Yes. We offer a structured pilot — a scoped proof of concept tied to your actual use case, not a generic sandbox.
