Teleroute, heart of the road transport industry, has unveiled the latest version of Teleroute Pro, the web interface used to access its pan-European freight exchange. By upgrading to Teleroute Pro 1.5, freight professionals across the continent can now access an array of new features that greatly improve their efficiency and bring new opportunities. Alongside performance enhancements, Teleroute Pro 1.5 includes a highly improved search function, a unique map based search, and greatly improved functionality in the Freight and Vehicle Matching functionality.

Search and Search Agents By inputting minimal search criteria, the Teleroute Pro system will now filter offers as they are posted and direct them to the user using their preferred media - whether that be SMS, Email or directly to the Teleroute Pro web interface. However received, users only pay if they decide to see the full offer including contact information, known in the system as 'unfolding'.

New map based search and direct access to a Maut Calculator Teleroute Pro 1.5 also offers users the ability to compare available freight directly on a map. Using this tool avoids the need for planners to consult offline maps or other tools and so increases planning efficiency. Also included is access to a Maut Calculator, a feature unique to Teleroute, which gives transport companies fast and easy access to the information they need when transporting freight on German roads and motorways.

Enhanced Matching functionality Although available since Teleroute Pro 1.4, version 1.5 offers major enhancements to the Freight and Vehicle Matching function. Through this tool, searches are automatically converted into vehicle offerings at no cost to the user. The updated Matching in Teleroute Pro 1.5 adds even more powerful matching functionality. A user can now at any time check if there are matching vehicles by clicking on the matching button. Additionally, when freight is deposited into the system, the user instantly receives notification of available capacity that matches their needs, with the first two capacity consultations given free of charge.

Teleroute News Service In conjunction with the launch of Teleroute Pro 1.5, Teleroute is also launching a new service designed to help freight professionals meet the ever-increasing challenges faced in the road transport market, Offered on request to any Teleroute Pro subscriber, a new newsletter will detail information on traffic limitations in each country across Europe, including countries/regions concerned, type of trucks and type of roads to which the limits apply. Teleroute users will find that via their inbox they now have access to information that they need.

As from November 25, 2005 Teleroute Pro 1.5 and the Teleroute limitation news service are available to all users.
