PTV Logistics Product Forum

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.
Feature	Coverage alterative providers	Coverage PTV Logistics via PTV Developer
1:1 Routing options	Often supports a quite generic approach (choice of standard profiles)	Supports highly sophisticated transport logistic options such as detailed 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 routing	Restricted to small sizes (at max 100 starts/destinations)	up to 500 starts / destinations
