SuperShuttle Introduces "Auto Routing" for Quicker Pick Up and Delivery
SuperShuttle introduces "Auto Routing" for Quicker Pick Up and Delivery to most of the nation's largest Airports
Profit Point, MapInfo and SuperShuttle team up to provide the ultimate in Passenger Customer Service
PHOENIX - (December 18, 2007) - SuperShuttle just made getting to the airport and home easier with the introduction of "Auto Routing" a unique system for the delivery of real live people to and from most of the nation's leading airports. Auto Routing is the brain child of Profit Point, Pitney Bowes MapInfo and SuperShuttle coming together to create a state-of-the-art pick up and delivery system for people that allows for the most efficient routing of SuperShuttle customers yet.
Profit Point, Pitney Bowes MapInfo and SuperShuttle created this programming capability which integrated their individual systems in to the centralized dispatch capabilities at SuperShuttle to provide passengers with a quicker and less complex pick up system for SuperShuttle customers nationwide. "Auto Routing" will reduce the pick up times, less time spent on the shared-ride vans for customers and quicker turn around at the airports overall.
"This has been a true team effort," said Mike Hogan, Chief Technology Officer for SuperShuttle International. "The functionality of 'Auto Routing' is different than the typical delivery optimization of packages since we're essentially delivering people. Packages don't mind sitting in the delivery truck and going out of their way a bit. People, on the other hand, don't like to be on the van too long, go to far out of their way, or backtrack to the airport. This new system actually delivers a whole new 'on-time' delivery system for our customers."
Basically, "Auto Routing" can route each drivers entire day's work in less than a minute whereas it would take a dispatcher anywhere from four to eight hours to accomplish the same.
