Postcode Anywhere’s AA Route Optimiser Shortlisted for 2010 National eWell-Being Awards
Browser-based service that cuts commercial carbon emissions by 20-40% recognised by judges
Worcester, United Kingdom, May 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Worcester-based IT company Postcode Anywhere announced today that its AA-backed Route Optimiser software - which significantly reduces commercial journey times, fuel costs and carbon emissions - has been shortlisted for the 2010 National eWell-Being Awards.
The awards, supported by UNISON and PC Pro magazine, celebrate the social and environmental benefits of innovation in IT. Postcode Anywhere joins 41 finalists vying for an honour.
Route Optimiser’s lead developer Richard Geary said: “Route Optimiser is making a strong impression in the market as the first viable way for small companies to take advantage of route optimisation technology, through low cost and easy access.
“The service reorders any postcodes entered to find the fastest route it can that visits them all. It’s useful for any organisation with travelling salesmen, couriers, or indeed any use of a route with multiple delivery points.
“Using route optimisation typically results in a 20-40% shorter journey – with a similar reduction in carbon emissions.
“Because the service is internet-based, users can access it through a web browser such as Internet Explorer and be up and running in minutes – while the low-cost pay-as-you-go pricing makes the technology viable for all.
“Being shortlisted for this award is a huge honour for us, and we’re up against some really innovative services in our category.”
UK Centre for Economic and Environmental Development (CEED) CEO Chris Murray said: “We would like to congratulate all the organisations who have made it to the final of the 2010 National eWell-Being Awards.
“Despite the difficulties of the current economic climate we were extremely impressed by the scale and quality of the work that is still being done throughout the country and the real benefit this work is bringing to people’s lives.”
Route Optimiser has been nominated for the Small-Medium-Sized Enterprise Innovation award, with the winners’ announcement and ceremony taking place on 16 June at UNISON offices in Leeds.
For more information about Route Optimiser, or to take a free trial, visit www.routeoptimiser.com. A one-off optimisation of up to 100 waypoints is available for 15 pounds Sterling, with other pay-as-you-go pricing options available for longer routes.
