PC Miler BatchPro – batch-processing tool for PC Miler

BatchPro is a batch-processing tool for PC*Miler that permits the simultaneous processing of large volumes of lanes (set as origin/destination pairs) entered as city/state combinations, ZIP or Postal Codes, or latitude/longitude coordinates rather than entering routes individually. It gives you the ability to generate routes, mileage, as well as cost and time information per route.

• Process route specific information for large volumes of origin/destination pairs
• Generate leg and total mileage, cost and time estimates
• Easily populate your mileage database without additional software programming effort
• Geocode locations quickly and confidently

Sample File Types

Simply stated, the module works as follows: an input file of origin/destination pairs is created, PC*MILER|BatchPro’s routing preferences are customized according to your routing preferences, then PC*MILER|BatchPro produces an output file based on those preferences. There are four types of output files that can be created from an input file:

• .OUT File – provides a breakdown of trip mileage for each route segment along a trip, including cost and time estimates
• .MIL File – provides a breakdown of trip mileage for each route segment along a trip that includes cost and time estimates as well as translating the origin and destination into postal code and/or city/state/county data depending on your set preference
• .STA File – provides a mileage summary table, similar in form to PC*MILER’s State/Country Distance Report that includes total miles, toll road miles, free miles, and ferry miles traveled in each state/jurisdiction, with totals at the end
• .TOL File – accessible only if PC*MILER|Tolls is also installed, this output shows toll costs for each route segment along a trip
