Business Challenge
After over a decade of success with their first product, Evosus® identified an opportunity to advance its software and help clients further streamline business operations. Understanding that nearly all Evosus Legacy clients operated a service division, Evosus® recognized how significant it was to provide route optimization features in their products. To make this possible, Evosus® needed an external mapping solution that was powerful, yet easy-to- use.
Benefits
- Flexibility to make on-the-fly route changes
- Optimizable routes to save time and money
- Simple integration with other platforms
“When we have software demonstrations and talk about field service, Google Maps is a huge part of that story.”
Working With Woolpert
“Any time we have questions, whether about cost or functionality, or if we need additional guidance, Woolpert Digital Innovations is available. They are a very good partner and we have been happy with their service,” said Dan McManus, President and CEO of Evosus®.
The Solution
Implementing Google Maps Platform into Evosus Legacy was a no-brainer due to Google Maps’ familiar interface. Evosus® used the Dynamic Maps API to provide users with an interactive environment for viewing points of interest on dynamic, pop-up maps. Fast forward to fall 2019, when Evosus® explored the full potential of Google Maps Platform and integrated it into their newly developed cloud product, LOU. Unlike Evosus Legacy, which requires multiple windows to view data, LOU provides a seamless user experience via a single dashboard powered by Google Maps Platform.
Additionally, the integrated Geocoding and Directions APIs simplify service scheduling and routing. “Routing is a big part of what we do, and Google Maps is a very important part of our application,” stated Dan McManus, President and CEO of Evosus®.
