The Vehicle Routing Initiative aims on software vendors that plan to
incorporate advanced route planning and optimization features into their
existing software product. Be it in Logistics, Field Service or Sales Force
Planning ISV's are encouraged to contact DNA at
http://www.dna-
to obtain a free Developer Express License including email support. This offer is only valid for companies with own applications and products in these fields.
"This initiative has been launched because we experienced that many applications in this field are still lacking from
optimization functionalities. One reason is that many developers are afraid of dealing with complex mutliple vehicle routing algorithms as this requires in depth experience with meta heuristics, which is of course not the primary focus of modern software engineers", Vincent Mayer says, (DNA's responsible engineer for application integration)
Therefore DNA has designed a library that offers optimization functionalities via an easy to use API available for dotNET, Java and SOAP. Worldwide, DNA partners rely on DNA's scheduling and rapid decisioning technology to bring their customers outstanding solutions for strategic and operational taskforce planning whithin one single piece of software by utilizing DNA's software components.
