    ALK Technologies Delivers Innovative Upgrades in PC*MILER 25

    ALK Technologies, Inc. recently announced the release of the PC*MILER 25 product line.
    The transportation industry's leading routing, mileage and mapping software now includes
    innovative, time-based features and other enhancements.  A core enhancement allows users
    to specify a route’s departure or arrival date and time to calculate an ETA at stop-off points or
    an ETD to help meet delivery schedules. Additionally, PC*MILER 25 empowers users with
    real-time traffic maps and traffic forecasts for calculating the best routes as well as more
    precise transit times and ETAs. Through a partnership with INRIX, a leading international
    provider of traffic information and driving services, ALK has added real-time and historical
    traffic speeds to its routing network. Users can see real-time traffic maps as well as access
    traffic forecasts for more than 1 million miles of roads across the United States and Canada.

    To introduce this innovative capability to customers, this valuable traffic speed data is
    included free of charge in PC*MILER 25 and will remain so until the release of PC*MILER 26
    in 2012.  Read more…

Roseburg Forest Products Presents PC*MILER and OTM Case Study

Jeff Brandt, Director of Transportation at Roseburg Forest Products in Oregon — one of the largest manufacturers of wood products in North America — shared a success story on implementing the Oracle transportation management system for its multi-modal transportation network at this year’s Transportation Technology Summit. Peter Ward of Hitachi Consulting and Al Drummond of Oracle presented along with Brandt.

The project began in 2009 and went live in November 2010. As part of the implementation, Roseburg was able to seamlessly integrate PC*MILER mileage (truck and rail) and routes into its Oracle system for rate inquiries and to optimize cost and service in its network. This integration would not have been possible without ALK responding quickly to some technical challenges that arose during the project, Brandt said.  To learn more, view Roseburg’s presentation video and slides.
