PROS & CONS
What are the best aspects of this product?
I use Maptitude mainly for strategic logistics studies, so for me the best features are things like: allocating drops to nearest depots, batch time and mileage calculations, volume flow lines, drivetime zones and the facility location tool.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
Nothing - it used to be slow to install when you got a new version, but those problems are long gone.
Any N/As I've filled in on the feature evaluation mean that I don't use those features - it's not a reflection on whether they exist.
What features/services would you like to see in future versions of this product?
Personally I'd love a pan-European version, but I'd be the first to recognise that with all the data required, it couldn't be delivered at the same sort of price!
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
Carrying out strategic logistics studies for clients - mainly for UK.
