Web services have emerged as a preferred way for businesses to pass and consume information due to their ease of use and
cost effectiveness. Below are three reasons why connecting to ProMiles using Web services may be right for you.
Automatic and Instant Updates
Sophisticated truck routing systems are continually updating information such as roads, map data, tax rates, restrictions,
fuel prices, truck stops and more. By using Web Services, the data is updated automatically behind the scenes without requiring
you or your employees to download and install updates. All new data is immediately available without you doing anything.
A Web Standard
Web services are based on a mature Web standard and have powered many kinds of applications for years. All major development
platforms, including Microsoft® .NET and Java, support connecting to and consuming information from Web Services. Due
to the longevity and reliability of Web services, your development team most likely already knows how to connect to our
services.
Easy on IT Resources and Budget
Since Web services allow programmers to develop on a platform they are comfortable with, the learning curve for using a
new service is low and time to project completion is reduced. Since our Web servers do the heavy calculations and data storage,
there is no need for costly hardware and software purchases just to support our application.
