MicroAnalytics Releases Network Version of TruckStops® Routing & Scheduling System

ARLINGTON, VA - January 5, 2000 - A network version of TruckStops Routing & Scheduling system is now available, according to a recent report from MicroAnalytics, Inc. Produced for the last 16 years as a single user software, this latest version allows access to the system by multiple users connected to the same server.

The network version of TruckStops operates with one execution key that is configured to the number of licenses purchased and installed on a computer, node or server. Multiple users can then access the TruckStops system simultaneously to edit or update data, or run routing solutions. This feature is a cost-effective, timesaving tool for companies with personnel on the same server routing for different divisions.

"The TruckStops network version significantly expands the power, flexibility and value of the system for users who need to operate multiple seats at the same time," said Mike Hooban, president of MicroAnalytics, "We've seen demand for this growing as users' computer systems become more sophisticated and complex. As usual, we are trying to anticipate the needs of our customer base as it grows."

Available for Windows® 95/98/NT, TruckStops can be used either dynamically, for scheduling vehicles on routes that change daily, or strategically, for planning and updating fixed delivery routes.

MicroAnalytics has produced high-quality, affordable logistics software for over 15 years. The company helped pioneer the development of PC-based routing systems and is recognized as the leading software provider with over 1,700 customer sites worldwide. In addition to the TruckStops system, MicroAnalytics publishes and markets the OptiSite® Distribution Planning Model, GeoNet™ Location Databases and the BUSTOPS® Student Transportation Management System.
