Here Technologies helps SMEs during Covid-19

First published in Intertraffic Innovation News - June 4, 2020

To meet unprecedented customer demand in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, Here Technologies has released a new route planning tool that helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) optimise the delivery of goods and services.

The company’s WeGo Deliver allows businesses to plan and dispatch a delivery service without software development or implementation costs. Employees at Here Technologies, a leading location data and technology platform, created Here WeGo Deliver as a give-back opportunity, based on the company’s work across the global transport and logistics industry.

“Manually organising and sequencing multiple delivery stops, and drivers, is time-consuming, and the margin for human error is significant,” said Christoph Herzig, head of fleet applications at Here Technologies. “Here WeGo Deliver makes it simple for both the business owner and driver by easy uploading, optimising, viewing and dispatching of routes through a web-based dashboard.”

Users simply upload all their order destinations and number of drivers to the online planning dashboard, and Here WeGo Deliver optimises each route and delivery sequence. Drivers can receive their delivery route by email, which automatically opens and populates the delivery route end points in the Here WeGo mobile app to provide voice-enabled navigation. Here WeGo is available to download for free on Android and iOS mobile devices.
