For Example...

Con-way Incorporated uses ObjectFX software to provide geospatial capabilities in its state-of-the-art transportation service center. The Con-way Service Center Operation (SCO) is a complete service center application that provides high-performance regional and inter-regional less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services in North America.

ObjectFX technology is used in two parts of the SCO application: an interactive map-based display that provides a geospatial view of Con-way service centers, pick-up and delivery locations, and planned delivery routes; and an interactive planning and dispatch module that allows users to find optimized routes based on driving time and distance, maintain routes, determine optimum sequencing of pick-ups and deliveries, and create delivery plans. The system makes extensive use of SpatialFX for map visualization, access to business data, routing and geocoding.

The SCO system is based on a service-oriented and event-driven architecture, with ObjectFX products integrated as software services. A key benefit of Con-way’s implementation approach is that components built for SCO are accessible to multiple subsidiaries within Con-way. 

 “With SpatialFX we were able to integrate services such as visualization, routing, geocoding and a variety of other location-based management functions right into our core application. The flexible deployment options will allow us to support a variety of distributed clients and systems in a scalable architecture. The resulting applications are highly responsive and give our staff increased visibility into our operations, as well as the ability to plan and manage operations effectively,”
