What it does
This module integrates HERE Routing APIs into the unified routing framework of
to_geo_routes. HERE is known for its enterprise-grade mapping services, especially
strong in logistics, trucking, and cross-border transportation.
With this connector, Odoo/Viindoo can retrieve precise routes, distance, duration,
and high-quality flexpolyline geometry directly from HERE's infrastructure. The
module is fully compatible with any business flow that relies on to_geo_routes,
including Fleet Management, Freight Transportation, Delivery, Dispatching, and VRP
(Vehicle Routing Problem) optimization.
HERE is particularly powerful for professional logistics operators thanks to its
support for truck restrictions, road regulations, weight/height limits, hazardous
materials routing, and realistic ETA calculations.
