map&guide webservices
The hosting solution. Mapping services in the PTV computer centre.
No separate server needed, low costs, and only the functions which you really need; using map&guide webservices, developers can cost-effectively integrate mapping and routing components into user-defined solutions in line with the required specifications.
The services are hosted by the PTV computer centre which means it is not necessary to install expensive servers and clients computers.
Using the XML/SOAP interface, you can access all functions and select the exact features (by means of the modular design principle) that you require for your application and user interface. map&guide webservices are based on the new PTV xServers. You therefore have access to high-end technologies for a very reasonable price.
Furthermore you don't need to concern yourself with regular updates - the latest map material is always available on our servers.
A real-life example
map&guide webservices was integrated into the operation and resource planning software of the gas meter installation company "ACTARIS Gaszählerbau GmbH".
Now headquarters needs much less time to dispatch the installation technicians and plan optimal customer routes. Therefore gas meters are always installed, serviced or replaced right on schedule.
