How it all started…

The founders of AntsRoute, Marc Grojean and Ammar Oulamara, met as part of an R&D contract on the interoperability of carpooling and public transport. At the time, Ammar, who is professor of computer science at the University of Lorraine, was leading the InfiniDrive project at LORIA. This R&D project, launched by La Poste and ERDF, aimed to determine the criteria for the optimum integration of electric vehicles in the fleets of companies that carry out work order routes.

In 2015, the two co-founders founded Antsway with the help of the SATT Grand Est and the BPI. In addition to the integration of electric vehicles, the team is developing powerful algorithms to help businesses in all industries to optimise their daily routes. The first version of the AntsRoute software available online is proposed at the end of 2018.

Since that time, new constraints have been regularly implemented to meet the needs of new industries. Today, we have adopted a Customer Centric approach that places our customers and their own customers at the heart of our priorities. To achieve this, we have developed solutions that make it possible to communicate with customers at every stage of the delivery or field service process.

Did you know?

The ants are able to work together to find the shortest route from a food source to their nest.

Once an ant discovers a food source via any path, it returns to the nest leaving behind a pheromone trail. The other ants take different paths to the same source, but the strengthening of the trail makes the shortest path more attractive. The other paths then lose their pheromone trail and the ants end up taking only the shortest path.

Researchers were inspired by the behaviour of these ants to develop the “Ant colony optimization algorithms“… and our team was inspired to develop the optimisation algorithms of our software. By the way, AntsRoute is composed of the English words “ants” and “route”.
