OpenAPI documentation
An OpenAPI specification is available for each service. It provides technical guidance and supports code generation and integration into existing development environments.
APIs for routing and route optimization in logistics
With MAPSERVICES, you can integrate routing, route optimization, mapping, traffic and location services directly into your software. The modular APIs can be integrated into existing applications, either individually or in combination.
Easy integration
Extend your existing applications with the logistics functionality you need using documented REST APIs.
Flexible expansion
Start with individual services and combine additional features as your requirements grow.
Proven technology
Benefit from the same routing and optimization logic used in PLANTOUR and PASS MAPS, without having to develop it yourself.
An API platform for modern logistics planning
Many companies already manage their logistics processes using
ERP, TMS or proprietary software systems. Routing and optimization
APIs allow them to extend these applications with additional
functionality without having to replace their existing workflows
with a separate application.
The cloud platform also supports complex requirements such as
vehicle restrictions, delivery time windows and capacity constraints.
Up-to-date map and traffic data, together with customer-specific
adjustments, provide the foundation for realistic logistics
planning and optimization.

Up-to-date map and traffic data for realistic logistics planning
MAPSERVICES combines up-to-date road network data with customer-specific adjustments. This allows changes in traffic conditions and individual operational requirements to be taken into account when calculating routes.
Customer-specific adjustments
Custom road closures, restrictions and speed limits can be managed individually and are only visible to the respective customer.
Daily updated traffic data
Information on road closures, roadworks and other traffic conditions is updated daily and taken into account in routing and ETA calculations.
Base map
Professional map data from TomTom provides the foundation for route calculations and is enhanced with logistics-specific information.
Why businesses choose MAPSERVICES
When integrating logistics APIs into business applications, data protection, performance and reliable operation are just as important as functionality.
Modular services
Each service performs a clearly defined task and can be integrated into specific business processes.
GDPR compliant
The services are hosted in the PASS Private Cloud and comply with applicable data protection requirements.
Complex planning made easier
Even complex tours involving multiple depots, restrictions and large numbers of stops can be optimized efficiently.
Reliable cloud hosting
High hosting standards provide the foundation for stable and reliable service operation.
Das sagen unsere Kunden
„Viele unserer Kunden steuern ihre Auslieferungen direkt aus dem ERP-System. Deshalb war uns wichtig, die Tourenplanung nahtlos in diese Arbeitsabläufe einzubinden. Die Integration ermöglicht es, Disposition und Tourenoptimierung ohne zusätzliche Anwendungen abzuwickeln und erleichtert damit die tägliche Arbeit.“
„Im Gegensatz zu früher können wi heute jede einzelne Palette monitoren und die Leistungen centgenau zuordnen. Das ermöglicht am Jahresende natürlich auc heinen ganz anderen Benchmark.“
„PLANTOUR wird von den Disponenten akzeptiert. Für Steelcase war die Entscheidung richtig, denn innerhalb eines Jahres amotisierte sich die Investition. Transportkosten von 250.000 Euro werden Jahr für Jahr eingespart.“
„Mit dem Tourenplanungssystem PLANTOUR verbessert die Bäckerei Harry Brot GmbH ihre Lieferpünktlichkeiten und verkürzt Routen: Die optimierten Toren sparen 30 bis 90 Minuten pro Tour und Tag.“
