Comparison between different HSS backend providers

Post by Bernd Welter »

Hi there,

as announced in december 2024 the SAP Hana Spatial Services offer PTV Logistics as a new backend provider alternative.
Here's a short comparison of the benefits PTV offers compared to the other providers:
:!: The integration of the PTV provider is based on the PTV Developer API - if you spot a parameter / feature within the native PTV Developer API which you want to use in SAP HSS but which is not available: LET US KNOW! We can forward that info to SAP's HSS team.

  • vehicle properties (length, height, width, weights, EV status and more)
  • routing options (avoidFerries, avoidCountries, avoidTollroads and more)
  • driver options (remaining driving periods and more)
Matrix routingRestricted to small sizes (at max 100 starts/destinations) up to 500 starts / destinations
