Transfinder to Release Groundbreaking PLUS in 2018

Transfinder’s Flagship Product Routefinder PLUS is Browser-Based.

Schenectady, NY, July 16, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The most transformational upgrade to Transfinder's
flagship routing solution known as Routefinder will be released this year, President and CEO Antonio
Civitella announced today.

“This is the product our clients and the industry have been waiting for,” Civitella said. “PLUS will
revolutionize every school transportation office that gets their hands on it.”

PLUS is being tested and is currently in the feedback stage with input from clients, prospects, industry
experts and internal personnel.

PLUS is the first Transfinder product to be built on ESRI technology. Based in Redlands, Calif., ESRI is
a global leader in geographic information system software, web GIS and geodatabase management
applications.

Civitella said partnering with ESRI will result in Transfinder clients having access to the most advanced
geospatial and routing engines along with the most extensive catalog of detailed maps.

With essentially a new product comes new terminology. Civitella said building safe and efficient bus
routes is an artform, and those transportation employees responsible for building routes are artists. So, to
build these “masterpieces,” routers will have access to what Transfinder refers to as a “canvas” on which
to “paint,” and “palettes” that provide the tools routers need, such as:

Boundary planning
Custom Maps
Directions
Map editing
Map layers
Parcel and address points.
Routing

Routers can rearrange the palettes where they want them on their screen. They can also use one palette at
time or access all of them at one time. Users can edit maps for a variety of travel scenarios, such as
weekday morning pickups or afternoon drop-offs and will have guidelines suggesting “preferred,”
“restricted” or “prohibited” areas.

Another term being introduced with PLUS is “Smart Routing.” Smart Routing includes such key actions
as “Smart Stop Sequence,” which identifies the best sequence for a stop, “Smart Stop Assignment,”
which determines which trip a stop belongs to, and “Smart Asset Allocation,” which optimizes trips by
minimizing vehicles, distance and ride times.

“It is impossible to overstate how significant this product is not only to Transfinder as the global leader in
routing software, but to the industry at large,” Civitella said. “When we provided clients with a glimpse of
this product at our Annual Client Summit in April, our clients were eager to get access to it for their
transportation departments. I'm pleased to announce the final touches of this masterpiece will be
completed this year.”
