Telematics meets route optimization: How real fleet data enables actionable routes and reduces transport costs – live with TIS and PTV Logistics

What's it about?

Many routes look efficient on paper – yet in day-to-day operations they rarely work out as planned. Time windows shift, vehicles wait longer at the loading dock, or a traffic jam throws the entire schedule off. For dispatchers, this often means adjusting on the fly, restructuring routes, and notifying drivers. One key reason is that planning and reality still live in separate system worlds in many companies. Route optimization systems calculate efficient routes – telematics systems deliver real-world fleet data, such as positions, driving times, or delays. In this Webinar, PTV Logistics and TIS show why the greatest lever lies precisely in the interplay between these two worlds: when real fleet data flows into planning, routes become more realistic, dispatchers save time in day-to-day operations, and transport costs can be noticeably reduced.

This Webinar is part of the series "How to Get Your Transport Costs Under Control".

More events from this series:

• More than invoice auditing: How FAP data helps optimize carrier selection, rates, and networks – live with Infios (Tuesday, 14 April 2026): Many companies audit freight invoices but rarely use the resulting data strategically. Infios shows in this Webinar how FAP data can be leveraged for rate analyses, carrier benchmarking, and network decisions – measurably reducing transport costs in the process.
• AI agents in transport service: How delivery scheduling and service requests are handled automatically – live with proLogistik (Thursday, 16 April 2026): Coordinating delivery dates, checking shipment status, answering queries – many service requests in transport are still handled manually. proLogistik shows in this Webinar how AI agents automate these processes, relieve service teams, and simultaneously prevent unnecessary trips.

Why you should attend

• you plan or are responsible for routes and notice that planning and reality frequently diverge in day-to-day operations
• your dispatchers spend a lot of time on reactive adjustments and manual corrections
• you need greater visibility into ongoing routes and your fleet
• you want to understand how telematics data can improve the quality of route planning
• you are looking for concrete approaches to reduce transport costs and make your planning more reliable

What you'll take away from the talk

•  why many route plans don't work as intended in practice
• which fleet data points are particularly relevant for realistic route planning
• how telematics and route optimization can be meaningfully integrated
• how dispatchers save time and reduce manual rework through a better data foundation
• why more realistic routes lead directly to more stable operations and lower transport costs
