Magnus Technologies, a SaaS-based enterprise trucking and logistics management software provider, recently integrated with Trimble, a technology company that offers solutions for the transportation industry. By leveraging Trimble’s map-centric development platform, Magnus offers truckload planning, routing, and management capabilities through its newly enhanced transportation management system.
The Magnus Platform incorporates Trimble's latest application programming interfaces and web services. The resources include dynamic map visualizations enriched by real-time weather and traffic data, multi-stop and multi-vehicle routing optimization, and robust route analysis and exception management tools.
“TMS screens have traditionally been filled with data grids that cause users to scroll through multiple screens to find relevant load, customer, and driver information,” said Jay Delaney, director of product management at Magnus Technologies. “A single, well-designed visual can convey information more effectively than screens of data. By enhancing our Magnus Platform with Trimble’s outstanding mapping capabilities, we’re not just adding a feature. We’re redefining the user experience.”

With the integration, the Magnus Platform can identify the most efficient delivery sequences for multi-stop loads, reducing costs and enhancing service quality. Additionally, Magnus has added detailed, color-coded map visualizations with comprehensive views of network load balance, facilities, equipment, customer locations, routes (including revenue and non-revenue miles), weather conditions, traffic, load statuses, and more.
“We’re excited to provide Magnus’ customers with access to our industry-leading commercial mapping capabilities,” said Rishi Mehra, sector vice president, maps division at Trimble. “Trimble’s technology continues to connect the transportation ecosystem and we believe collaborations like this are essential to driving the industry forward.”
