Microsoft Dynamics

PTV add-on components for Microsoft Dynamics can give your company the ability to harness geographic or logistics services from within Microsoft Dynamics AX, NAV or CRM.

Microsoft Dynamics supports many business processes where visualising geographic data in maps, calculating routes or optimising logistics operations are more than just "nice-to-haves"; they're essential to providing good services and maintaining efficient operations.

PTV SWISS has developed mapping, routing, geocoding and local search add-ons that embed these key functionalities right in your Microsoft Dynamics system:

• Geocoding complete and incomplete addresses
• Graphical representation on the map
• Accurate route guidance with route planning and detailed route lists
• Distance calculations using industry-standard reference kilometres, cost calculations
• Sequence optimisation (travelling salesman)
• Corridor search

Microsoft and PTV SWISS are close collaborators. The benefits for Microsoft Dynamics users are compelling. For example, PTV's existing components can also be used in Microsoft Dynamics systems.

PTV SWISS's Microsoft Dynamics add-ons utilise PTV xServer components, which are consistently and universally based on standard web service interfaces.

Besides PTV add-ons, PTV SWISS can also provide a complete transport module for Microsoft Dynamics AX. It lets you run complex transport planning solutions such as PTV Intertour from within Microsoft Dynamics systems.

That reduces project cycle time, cuts costs and improves quality.

Orders stored in Dynamics AX have to be delivered on an optimised schedule. The PTV components calculate an optimised trip based on all the constraints (calendar and delivery dates, handling times, etc.) They provide detailed trip information such as trip length, trip time and sequence of stops. Users can search for additional, complementary orders within a corridor and display the current trips and maps at any time.
