EU-funded software InfraRoute reduces costs, accelerates delivery, and decreases CO2 footprint

Infranet, a company with years of experience in software development for the logistics sector, is pleased to celebrate the successful completion of its ambitious project – InfraRoute. This advanced software, the result of expert work and innovation, represents a milestone in the logistics sector, addressing key industry challenges: non-standardized addressing, high delivery costs, and increased carbon footprint.

Efficient Delivery

Infranet has discovered that inconsistent addressing can significantly impact delivery efficiency, increasing costs and delivery times.

– Analyzing shipments in Croatia, we found that for many there are dozens of ways to write an address, and for some, there are even hundreds of ways – said Infranet.

This problem, a frequent cause of redeliveries and additional burdens on customer support, becomes a thing of the past with the new software.

The InfraRoute project, part of the EU program ‘Increasing the development of new products and services arising from research and development activities – phase II’, lasted from February 1, 2021, to August 1, 2023, and consisted of two phases. The industrial research phase spanned 15 months, with costs of €213,215.53. During this phase, the product was successfully brought to the fifth level of technological readiness, which was a key step towards achieving the final goal. After the successful completion of the initial phase, the second phase – experimental development – began in May 2022, which continues until the project’s completion. In this phase, InfraRoute achieved the eighth level of technological readiness, confirming a high level of development and innovation within the project. The costs of the experimental development phase amount to €404,870.40.

User Experience

Infranet approached testing the intuitiveness of user-oriented solutions carefully during the experimental development phase, with a primary focus on UX (user experience), to ensure that InfraRoute provides an excellent user experience. It continuously resolved bugs and optimized the software in accordance with all security standards and privacy management criteria, ensuring data protection and reliable system operation.

InfraRoute accurately sorts and optimally routes, reducing costs and delivery times, increasing customer satisfaction, and decreasing negative environmental impact. This software, protected as intellectual property at the level of the entire European Union, represents an important step forward in the logistics sector and will contribute to the sustainable development of delivery and logistics. Testing has also confirmed that InfraRoute is not only an efficient tool for routing shipments in Croatia but also in other countries. With this high-precision system, courier services and postal services can significantly reduce delivery costs, and shipments will travel faster and leave a smaller carbon footprint. InfraRoute represents an innovative approach to logistics, delivery, and sustainability, opening new opportunities for improving logistics processes.

The total value of the project amounts to €618,085.93, with significant financial support from the European Union of €354,312.82, which enabled the successful realization of the InfraRoute software. This valuable investment has empowered Infranet in the development of a product that will enter its commercialization on August 1, 2023, greatly enhancing the logistics sector.
