By integrating the PTV Developer platform at the core of its in-house TMS, Parnass Transport takes a major step forward in optimizing its transport operations. Advanced route calculation, reliable ETA prediction, and full control over the tool: the carrier has chosen an agile, scalable technology to boost operational performance.
Road freight transport plays a central role in the French and European economy. In Île-de-France and across the country, it ensures the continuity of supply chains for logistics, industry, and retail players.
However, this sector operates in an increasingly challenging environment, characterized by:
The multiplication of flows and diversity of operational models require carriers to adapt constantly. In this context, transport digitalization and the use of high-performance, scalable TMS solutions have become strategic levers to gain agility, productivity, and service quality.
Founded in 2010, Parnass Transport is a subsidiary of the Parnass Group based in Goussainville, Val-d’Oise. The company specializes in regular freight transport for goods over 3.5 tons, both in Île-de-France and nationwide.
With a fleet of 230 vehicles, including tractors and swap bodies, Parnass Transport supports its customers 24/7. It offers traction services with drivers as well as vehicle rental solutions on flexible time slots, tailored to the specific needs of major logistics players.
Faced with increasing complexity in transported flows and diverse operations to manage, Parnass Transport quickly reached the limits of standard TMS solutions available on the market.
“No standard TMS really matched our organization. We decided to develop our own tool to fully adapt it to our business processes,” explains Jawad Meftah, Operations Manager.
The goal was clear: build a custom TMS capable of adapting to business growth, strengthening analytical capabilities, and improving predictability—while maintaining full control over the tool and its future developments.
To integrate a reliable and high-performance route calculation engine into its in-house TMS, Parnass Transport chose the PTV Developer platform from PTV Logistics, specifically its Routing API.
This modular approach allows the carrier to rely on proven technology while retaining complete freedom in tool development. The API delivers key functionalities for road transport, including:
These technology components integrate seamlessly into the internal TMS, without compromising autonomy or process customization.
Thanks to route calculations that factor in traffic and regulatory constraints.
Usage-based pricing at less than €0.01 per request.
Designed to support business growth and operational flexibility.
After a discovery and testing phase, the integration of PTV Developer’s Routing API was quickly carried out by Parnass Transport’s teams without relying on an external integrator.
“Thanks to the documentation available on the PTV Developer platform, we were able to complete the integration entirely on our own,” says Jawad Meftah.
This gradual approach secured the project while ensuring operational continuity. The new TMS will be fully operational by early March 2026, marking a major milestone in the company’s digital transformation.
The collaboration between PTV Logistics and Parnass Transport is built on a long-term vision. The PTV Developer platform provides access to a complete catalog of APIs, enabling the progressive evolution of the in-house TMS: mapping, address geocoding, multi-route matrix calculation, load optimization, and eventually full route optimization.
This scalability is supported by a flexible, controlled economic model with usage-based pricing—each request billed at less than €0.01—perfectly suited to business growth.
“No TMS on the market fully met our needs. Thanks to PTV Developer, we integrated an extremely reliable route calculation engine into our internal TMS while maintaining autonomy and innovation capacity. The solution helps us analyze faster, improve predictability, and make better operational decisions.”
