The Economic Development Department is requesting authorization to purchase Route Optimization Application from Productivity Apex, Inc.  The application will provide improved schedule efficiencies by optimizing the route for City staff and improve customer service for inspection customers.  As a component of the Economic Development Information Systems (EDIS) project, the application will optimize routes and schedules for City staff, provide real time schedule notification to customers, re-optimize as schedules change, and update customers on any changes to the inspectors schedule.  

 PAI was started by University of Central Florida (UCF) professors through the UCF incubator program.  PAI has a working relationship with Infor, the EDIS supplier, and has partnered with other municipalities.  PAI has a local presence thus eliminating travel expenses.
