Case Study: Hanson improves heavy-vehicle routing and on-time deliveries with TomTom Maps and Location Tech

Building smooth routes for thousands of construction vehicles

Hanson, a leading provider of building materials in Australia, faced challenges efficiently routing its large fleet of over 1,500 heavy construction vehicles. Their outdated, annually-refreshed map data made it difficult to account for road restrictions and changing conditions, leading to potential delays. To guide its drivers safely and on time, Hanson needed a more robust solution with fresher location data, which they found with TomTom.

TomTom provided Hanson with its highly precise and constantly updated map data, including specialized logistics datasets, Speed Profiles, and Address Points. By integrating this data into its proprietary fleet management system, Hanson gained the ability to plan routes optimized for heavy vehicles and predict travel times with far greater accuracy. This TomTom solution helped Hanson increase on-time arrivals, maximize operational cost savings, and improve overall customer satisfaction.
