Consumer sat navs don’t know your vehicle’s height, weight or width — which is why bridges keep getting hit and drivers keep getting stuck. Vision Telematics routing and scheduling combines professional in-cab navigation licences with routing and geocoding web services for the back office, so every route is planned and driven within your vehicle’s real limits. One UK partner for the software, the setup and the support.
Vehicle-profile routing — height, width, weight, axle, hazmat · Offline maps for signal blackspots · Per-vehicle licences, pay-per-transaction web services · UK support
Routing and scheduling software plans the order, timing and path of a fleet’s journeys, then guides each driver along a route that is legal and practical for their specific vehicle. It has two halves: back-office web services (routing, geocoding, distance matrices) that plan and sequence jobs, and professional in-cab navigation that turns those plans into safe turn-by-turn guidance. Unlike consumer apps, it routes by vehicle profile — height, width, length, weight, axle load and hazardous-goods class.
Each licence stores the vehicle’s dimensions, weight and load restrictions — the map engine then only offers roads that vehicle can legally and physically use.
Routing and geocoding web services calculate truck-legal routes, mileages and drive times for your planning or job-allocation systems, billed per transaction so you only pay for what you use.
In-cab navigation delivers turn-by-turn directions with low-bridge, weight and width avoidance, live traffic and predictive ETAs — with offline maps for signal blackspots.
Predictive ETAs based on live and historical traffic give customers arrival times you can actually stand behind.
A bridge strike can mean vehicle damage, prosecution, rail-delay costs and a conversation with the Traffic Commissioner about your Operator’s Licence. Height-aware routing removes the low bridge from the route in the first place — and pairs naturally with in-cab low bridge detection as a second line of defence.
Live traffic plus predictive drive-time modelling means the ETA reflects road conditions, not a straight-line guess. Fewer missed slots at RDCs, fewer “where’s my delivery” calls, better OTIF performance.
Truck-appropriate routing avoids dead-end diversions, illegal turns and forced re-routes — the hidden miles that inflate fuel bills. Optimised sequencing in the back office compounds the saving across every round.
Routing that understands weight limits, width restrictions and access constraints keeps vehicles out of roads they shouldn’t be on — and helps planners account for Clean Air Zone boundaries when sequencing work, avoiding surprise charges and complaints.
Fewer routing exceptions to firefight, drivers guided consistently regardless of experience, and a defensible answer when a customer disputes an arrival time.
Protects the Operator’s Licence and the company’s reputation — a bridge strike or repeated access complaints are brand damage you can prevent for a known cost.
Per-transaction web-service billing and per-vehicle navigation licences make the cost model predictable; savings show up in fuel, damage claims and avoided infringement costs.
One navigation standard across mixed fleets and depots, with back-office routing services that plug into existing planning systems rather than replacing them.
Truck-legal routing between depots and RDCs with dependable slot-time ETAs — see Road Transport & Logistics.
Height, weight and axle-aware guidance for the vehicles most exposed to bridge and weight-limit risk.
Back-office route sequencing plus in-cab guidance that copes with unfamiliar drops.
Profile-based routing for vehicles that simply cannot take the roads a car would.
Height- and length-aware routing for vehicles carrying people, not just freight — see passenger transport.
Pair navigation with vehicle tracking for the same fleet — planned route and actual route, side by side.
Navigation is licensed per vehicle (in-cab licences) and routing and geocoding web services are billed per transaction — so a 10-truck operation and a 500-vehicle planning system are both priced on what they actually use.

A consumer sat nav routes a car; routing and scheduling software plans and guides journeys using your vehicle's actual height, width, weight and load class, and adds back-office services for planning whole rounds — so routes are legal, drivable and sequenced efficiently.
It routes vehicles around bridges below their set height, which prevents most strikes at the planning stage. For belt-and-braces protection, many operators pair it with an in-cab low bridge detection system.
Yes — professional navigation licences include offline maps, so guidance continues in signal blackspots; live traffic simply resumes when coverage returns.
Yes. Routing, geocoding and distance-matrix web services are designed to be called by your existing systems and are billed per transaction.
In-cab navigation is licensed per vehicle; web services are pay-per-transaction. Pricing depends on fleet size and which services you need — request a quote for an itemised proposal.
Vehicle-profile routing respects weight, width and access restrictions, and helps planners factor Clean Air Zone boundaries into route decisions.
