As we all know fuel prices are up, along with concern for the environment. Just about any company doing deliveries with motor-vehicles, is having to look for solutions in terms of efficiency and reduced fuel emissions, in kind of bid to kill two birds with one stone.

Postcode Anywhere, recently revealed a new product, the Route Optimiser. This is a service that can be found on the internet, which through algorithms allows businesses to plan the best possible route for their vehicles. This program provides digital maps, dynamic navigation content and solutions for specific locations. The information is delivered from Postcode Anywhere to customers.

You might ask, what exactly does this have to do with flowers, plants and gifts? Well, it has taken a fair amount of innovation on behalf of this company to allow for the efficient delivery provided.

The process started about four years ago, when the mastermind behind Flower24Hours, Todd Todic, made a call, with his idea to Postcode Anywhere. He was looking for someone to help him develop a solution for optimizing delivery routes.

Postcode Anywhere did not show any interest at the time and sent him on his way. As a result, Todd had to work out something on his own. In only three months he was successful in putting together his own routemaking technology, which is still used by the company today!

Not long after Todd had put together his software, he was on the receiving end of a phone call from Postcode Anywhere. They let him know that after his bid for developing a partnership with them, five other companies called with the same idea.

It took them a little while to catch up with us, but three years after our début, they have finally launched their in collaboration with AA. All in all, things have turned out well, our company has been able to provide the most efficient flower delivery possible for a few years now, and it is becoming apparent that businesses all over the country are becoming more environmentally conscious.
