PC MILER Web Services is designed to efficiently fulfill all PC MILER routing, mileage and mapping transactions in a simple ubiquitous system-interface to any platform. Web services in general allow different applications from different sources to communicate with each other without time-consuming custom coding and because all communication is in XML (Extensible Markup Language), web services are not tied to any one operating system or programming language. For example, Java can talk with Perl, and Windows applications can talk with UNIX applications.

A hardware and software agnostic interface, PC MILER Web Services gives you the ability to access the functionality associated with the core PC MILER product making it easier to share data and improve efficiency. It offers a standardized way of integrating Web-based applications using XML and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) over an Internet Protocol Backbone, where XML is used to tag data and SOAP is used to transfer the data.

Hosted in an enterprise-ready, 24/7 data center provides users with a consistent and reliable source for PC MILER mileage, mapping and routing needs. It also provides transparent access to quarterly and/or annual map, data and routing updates to keep your operations in one central location, running on the most reliable routes.

PC MILER Web Services provides a standardized environment in which your transportation costs such as rates, routes, actual driven mileage, driver satisfaction, surcharges, and toll costs can be accurately managed. It also helps to eliminate the need for extra IT resources, including maintaining and supporting multiple servers.

Other benefits include:

  • Seamless integration with Web Services and .NET interfaces or applications

  • Establish a standardized system for documenting transportation transactions and their changes for compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act

  • Maintain existing interfaces, update hardware at your own pace, all while accessing a single source of PC MILER data

  • Maximize strategic planning and forecasting methods

  • Streamline freight payment/audit procedures by negotiating rates based on actual mileage, not estimated values

  • Decrease time to market with optimized routes and standard mileage reports

  • Plans loads for efficiently to yield more loads per day
