An up-to-date OpenAPI specification is available for every service, providing a convenient basis for quick orientation, code generation, and integration into modern toolchains.
Routing and tour optimization API for logistics
With MAPSERVICES, you can integrate powerful API services for maps, routing, traffic, optimization, and location data directly into your software. This makes logistics data, routes, and planning processes a seamless part of your application.
Integrate directly
Connect MAPSERVICES to TMS, ERP systems, portals, or your own platforms and add logistics functions to existing applications as needed.
Expand flexibly
Start with a single API service and add further functions as new requirements arise.
Use proven logic
Use the same routing and optimization logic as PLANTOUR and PASS MAPS—without having to develop your own logistics functions.
API platform for modern logistics planning
MAPSERVICES is a cloud platform for digital logistics processes with
demanding requirements for routing, map data, location data, and
optimization. The platform provides key building blocks for
planning, analysis, visualization, and operational decision-making.
Software providers, IT departments, and digital logistics platforms
can use it to automate complex processes and make results available
directly within their own user interfaces. The services follow clear
REST API standards and are operated in compliance with the GDPR in
the PASS Private Cloud.

What our customers say
“PLANTOUR is a great support for our service teams and project management. We had extensive and very specific requirements for our route planning and, together with PASS Software, were able to sustainably solve a central and important challenge for our business.”
“Unlike in the past, we can now monitor every single pallet and allocate services down to the cent. At the end of the year, this naturally enables a completely different level of benchmarking.”
“PLANTOUR has been accepted by the dispatchers. For Steelcase, the decision was the right one, as the investment paid for itself within one year. Transport costs of €250,000 are saved year after year.”
“With the PLANTOUR route planning system, the bakery Harry Brot GmbH improves its delivery punctuality and shortens routes: the optimized routes save 30 to 90 minutes per route and day.”

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions from Our Customers
-
What are MAPSERVICES?
MAPSERVICES provide logistics-related mapping, geocoding, routing and planning functions via application programming interfaces. Companies can integrate these functions directly into their own applications and processes without having to develop and operate a complete mapping and routing technology themselves.
-
Which functions are available through MAPSERVICES?
Depending on the service used, addresses can be geocoded, routes calculated, distances and travel times determined, or logistics planning functions integrated into existing applications. The specific range of functions is configured to suit the respective use case.
-
Which systems are MAPSERVICES suitable for?
MAPSERVICES can be integrated into ERP systems, transport management systems, dispatching solutions, customer portals, mobile applications or custom logistics software. They are particularly suitable when mapping and routing functions are intended to become part of an existing application.
-
Do MAPSERVICES also support truck-specific routing?
Yes. In addition to the road network, vehicle- and transport-specific requirements can be taken into account when calculating routes. These include dimensions, weight, access restrictions and other road attributes relevant to freight transport.
-
What is the difference between MAPSERVICES, PASS MAPS and PLANTOUR?
MAPSERVICES provide functions via APIs for integration into existing systems. PASS MAPS offers browser-based access to selected mapping, routing, planning and monitoring functions. PLANTOUR is the comprehensive solution for advanced route planning, optimization and operational dispatching.
-
How much effort is required to integrate MAPSERVICES?
The integration effort depends on the required range of functions and the existing system environment. The services are accessed via documented interfaces and can be integrated into existing applications step by step. PASS supports customers with consulting and documentation during the planning, technical integration and implementation phases.
