Freelance leafleteer Marvin Baker said: “Route Optimiser was a great help when doing my annual theatre leaflet delivery run. I managed to deliver 30% more leaflets than I did last year.” Postcode Anywhere MD Guy Mucklow said: “This new feature is particularly useful for infrequent users and those who simply want to run a check to find out if their regular delivery route is as good as it can be. The impact of this service shouldn’t be underestimated. “Imagine a scenario where a man-with-a-van is making the same inefficient route, day after day. It could be a leafleteer, or maybe a milkman or sandwich vendor. Think of all the time wasted, not to mention the unnecessary fuel costs and carbon emissions building up over the course of years if the route isn’t optimised. “Now he can make that regular route typically 20% shorter for a single £15 flat fee.” Technical architect Richard Geary said: “One of the greatest things about software-as- The complete list of improvements to RouteOptimiser includes: · One-off £15 optimisations possible with no annual vehicle licence necessary · Delivery prioritisation and timeslots now available for basic licence holders · Vehicle capacities and delivery sizes to eliminate vehicle overloading The £15 one-off charge applies for a single vehicle visiting up to 100 waypoints along a route.

Postcode Anywhere provides a totally integrated solution which does exactly I was looking for.” Harj Baines, Harvey Baines (Estate Agency) “We advise Route Optimiser of our delivery addresses and they sort out a route and email it back. It saves us many man hours trying to work out a route with maps, and I estimate that on a recent run of delivering 150 orders throughout the country, Route Optimiser saved us £3000. It enabled us to efficiently undertake the operation in our own vehicle rather than using our courier.” Warren Thomas, Indoor Fireworks Ltd “Using Route Optimiser to plan my routes saves me hours trying to figure out how to get around the country. I know it’s an old cliché, but in my view it’s worth every penny.” Peter Hurwood, JCDecaux (Billboard advertising) “It used to take me 20 minutes to plan my journey. Now all I have to do is put the postcodes in and within 30 seconds I have the optimised route – it saves so much time!” Adrian Mitchell, Fastway couriers “The biggest saving for us is in not having to sit for four hours in an evening planning the next day’s visits – what took four hours now takes two minutes.” Kirk Day, Templar Bespoke Solutions (Debt recovery) “Route Optimiser is a superb service. It saves me around £10 a week, it’s very easy to use and I will definitely recommend it to others.” Roberta Nicholls, Nicholls Hire (Portable toilet company) “Route Optimiser is exactly what we were looking for. One of our drivers told me it saved him two hours a day. I would think Route Optimiser will save us £2,000 a year on diesel per vehicle alone.” Chris Edwardson, Just Doors UK (DIY and double glazing) ENDS Media contact for Postcode Anywhere Jim Williams – PR Executive, Postcode Anywhere jim@postcodeanywhere.com +44 (0) 1905 888 570 Press centre at: http://www.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/ Notes to Editors: About Postcode Anywhere Postcode Anywhere has been providing address services for ten years and is the fastest-growing reseller of Royal Mail’s Postcode Address File (PAF).
