Cloud computing and hosted services are all the rage in the information technology world as a means to provide dynamically scalable computing resources in a pay-for-use model.CRM, ERP, and many circulation system vendors have already started offering their products or portions of their products in the cloud. So how is RouteSmart Technologies aligning with this new means to serve up its solutions?

We're pleased to announce the debut of RouteSmart Online. Designed for managing the daily routing tasks of home delivery newspaper dispatching operations, RouteSmart Online provides an affordable, subscription-based solution for automating the daily process of getting the paper from the distribution center to the front door.

  

Using the Amazon EC2 cloud computing environment, RouteSmart Online has been designed with security in mind. Working with your existing circulation system, RouteSmart Online processes carrier route sheets on a nightly basis and makes them available to your carriers and distribution center staff via a secure browser environment. And RouteSmart Online offers an intuitive, workflow-driven interface to help you manage critical dispatch challenges like down routes, late third-party publications, fuel subsidy pay-outs, and much more.
