TransIT route planning software: Plan routes, reduce costs.
Why do I need route planning software for my logistics ?
All companies that have or depend on transport and delivery tasks know this: when it's time for delivery vehicles and trucks to hit the road, planning and scheduling tours is crucial. Plan faster. Plan better, use the fleet more efficiently and produce less CO2-Ausstoß produzieren, das sind die gesteckten Ziele. Zunehmende Haltepunkte, tägliche Einschränkungen und Unmengen neuer Daten machen die Tourenplanung jedoch immer komplexer. Zudem steigen in der Logistik die Kosten für Kraftstoff und Personal. Fühlen Sie sich diesen Planungsaufgaben mit Excel, Papier und Google Maps noch gewachsen?
Or are you looking for software that digitises route planning and route optimisation - on the web and as an app? TransIT from gts offers a digital planning cockpit and reporting tool. For logistics planners, fleet managers, dispatchers and anyone who manages the deployment of mobile employees or a fleet.
Route optimisation for many industries.
Our customers include companies from very different industries. Examples include: postal and parcel services, service companies, wholesale companies, wholesale bakeries, waste disposal companies, medical laboratories and passenger transport companies. The algorithms of the TransIT software offer endless possibilities to meet the different requirements of the industries in terms of planning.

Would you like to improve the efficiency of your dispatching and planning, increase the profitability of the fleet and reduce with your fleet CO2-emissions?
Move away from Excel, paper and Google Maps now! Switch to route planning that digitises processes including an app, web solutions, a planning cockpit and reporting.
Using route planning software saves you time and money.
Two ways to discover your potential.
How much your business can save with optimised route planning depends on your fleet, your orders and your processes. Get an initial idea: either with a quick estimate or with in-depth background information.
Overview: Advantages of intelligent route planning.
- Faster, better planning and optimisation
- Algorithms that automatically take into account the requirements of your business
- Automated use of relevant master data
- Uniform utilisation of the routes
- More efficient communication through apps and telematics
- Target vs. actual comparison in real time
- Simulate using alternative plans
- Better business management through in app tools
How does TransIT optimise your route planning?
TransIT implements route planning significantly faster than manual solutions. The handling of large amounts of data is simplified. For example, you can optimise 3,000 routes in the shortest possible time. You can use the time saved to go through planning alternatives and continuously improve the operational business.
Diese Vorteile machen TransIT zur idealen Software.
TransIT is simple.
The software automatically creates route plans and can also take into account even the most complex requirements (e.g. heterogeneous vehicle fleets, multiple capacity dimensions, opening hours etc.).
TransIT is efficient and sustainable.
Because our applications are modular they can be adapted to your requirements at any time.
TransIT is future-proof.
Benefit from the continuous development of the software and our cooperation with leading universities (e.g. RWTH Aachen, University of Mainz) and research institutions such as Fraunhofer.
Route optimisation with software:
How your company benefits.
The entire workflow with TransIT is digitised: Create optimised routing plans in the planning cockpit. Release them and transfer them to your employees' app. Monitor the status of all orders and employee vehicles in real time. Detect delays and proactively notify your customers. Carry out automated target vs. actual comparisons to continuously improve your planning. Use extensive reporting options to increase quality and profitability.

route optimisation through TransIT:
This is how route planning works with TransIT.
The starting point is the transport or delivery order: a person is to be transported from A to B, goods are to be collected and delivered.
To do this, you create new orders in the tour planning software. These have at least one address and one delivery window. With the help of automated geocoding, the system assigns longitude and latitude to the addresses, similar to navigation software.
In order to optimise tours, a vehicle fleet is also created. This contains vehicles that are available at certain times with certain characteristics. The route optimisation software determines whether an order can be carried out with a vehicle by assigning qualifications or other properties such as vehicle capacity.
This is followed by the actual route optimisation: The TransIT software uses highly efficient algorithms specially developed by gts to distribute the orders to the vehicles and carry out sequence optimisation. Driving times and distances between orders are calculated concretely.
Simple practical example:
This is what the optimised route plan looks like.
Original route: 59 km
Optimised route: 53 km
Using the TransIT software for route planning, you save 11 % distance, CO2 and time in this case.

Would you like to know how much you could save on your route planning? Then try our free, no-obligation savings calculator and get an initial estimate in just a few steps.
Here’s how it works: Based on the information you provide, the savings calculator estimates the potential for cost reduction and efficiency gains in your route planning. You will then receive an initial overview of how you can benefit from optimised route planning. The results are based on estimated figures. If you would like a detailed and reliable analysis based on your actual logistics data, we would be happy to look at your specific case in person.
Frequently asked questions about route planning software.
The costs depend on the size of your fleet, the modules required and the operating model. At the same time, an optimised route plan saves an average of 15 per cent on transport costs, meaning the software usually pays for itself quickly. Our savings calculator provides an initial estimate.
Yes. Even with just 3–5 vehicles, automated route planning delivers tangible benefits: less planning effort, better utilisation, fewer empty runs and more satisfied customers. With around 15 vehicles or more, it is usually even possible to save on the cost of an entire vehicle.
Yes. Orders and master data can be imported via Excel, Access or CSV, and this can also be automated for daily planning. Web services are available for a fully automated connection. There are ready-made interfaces for telematics systems such as TomTom, Couplink, CSB and Fleetboard, through which routes can be transferred and actual data – such as GPS position and delivery status – can be reported back. For other systems, we develop bespoke interfaces at a reasonable cost.
Manual planning is time-consuming, prone to errors and often relies on the expertise of individual dispatchers. Using algorithms developed in-house by gts, TransIT calculates the most cost-effective routes from millions of possibilities, taking into account time slots, vehicle capacities, qualifications and details such as no-turn restrictions or opening hours. This results in routes that are not only efficient but also feasible, even when planning 3,000 routes in the shortest possible time.
TransIT is used by waste management companies, bakeries, food retailers and wholesalers, courier, express and parcel (CEP) services, medical laboratories, transport services and service providers. The algorithms automatically take industry-specific requirements into account, such as the maximum journey time for passenger transport. Find out more on our industry pages.
