What Milemaker Holdco, Inc. does

MileMaker Holdco, Inc. (d/b/a MileMaker) provides commercial truck routing and mileage software for the North American transportation and logistics market, serving shippers, carriers, freight brokers, and third-party logistics providers (3PLs). The company's core platform delivers truck-specific routing decisions based on fuel efficiency, risk, trip duration, distance, vehicle specifications, load type, toll costs, and points of interest, anchored by a proprietary database of more than 8.2 million road miles and 67.5 million attributed road segments, including 240,000+ vertical clearance restrictions, 550,000+ weight-limit restrictions, 370,000+ HAZMAT restrictions, and 7,000+ truck/fuel stops across North America. MileMaker's product portfolio is delivered in three primary formats: a cloud-based MileMaker Web App, on-premises deployment with a Microsoft Excel add-in for batch processing, and a RESTful Web Services API (Version 2, with OAuth 2.0 and Open API compliance) supported by a JavaScript Map SDK for embedded mapping.

MileMaker operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales (quote-based, annual licensing with activation and renewal/maintenance fees), professional services/support, usage-based API billing, and indirect distribution through approximately fifteen transportation management system (TMS) partners including SAP, Oracle, Manhattan Associates, McLeod Software, MercuryGate, Trimble/TMW, Koch KBX, Uber Freight, and Turvo. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated via Order Form; a pay-per-route usage model is offered alongside the enterprise subscription tier. The platform claims adoption by 75% of IFTA agencies and usage by 94% of top motor carriers, brokerages, and manufacturers, with named enterprise customers including Walmart, XPO Logistics, Schneider, Caterpillar, Owens Corning, and DISH Network.

The company originated from Rand McNally's 1980 acquisition of Transportation Data Management, giving rise to the IntelliRoute and MileMaker product lines; in 2022 MileMaker separated from Rand McNally to operate as an independent entity while retaining a strategic partnership for mapping and routing capabilities. Since separation, the company has launched the MileMaker Web App (May 2023), Web Services API Version 2 (July 2023), and Map SDK (March 2024), and expanded engineering capacity into Porto, Portugal. The company is privately held by MileMaker Holdco, Inc., headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Motive (formerly KeepTruckin): Fleet management and driver operations platform with routing and compliance features. Competes with MileMaker for fleet software dollars at carriers and 3PLs, with a more telematics-centric product.
• Mapbox: Developer-focused mapping and navigation platform increasingly pursuing commercial trucking and logistics customers with routing APIs. Competes with MileMaker for embedded, developer-driven routing and map-tile use cases.
• Samsara: Cloud-based fleet management platform combining telematics, video, and routing. Overlaps with MileMaker on truck routing decisions and competes for the same fleet and 3PL budgets, though from a broader hardware-included stack.

Broad incumbents

• Geotab: Large telematics and fleet management provider with route planning and mileage reporting capabilities. Adjacent competitor in the commercial trucking software stack, especially for IFTA-grade mileage reporting.
• Google Maps Platform: Broad mapping platform with trucking-relevant routing features and developer APIs. While not a truck-specialist, it competes indirectly for routing and mileage workloads, especially at shippers and tech-savvy customers.
• Rand McNally: Original MileMaker parent and current strategic partner. Continues to operate in consumer GPS and commercial navigation hardware, and remains a peer in commercial truck routing data and mapping, even as MileMaker operates independently.

Direct peers

• HERE Technologies: Global mapping and location platform offering HERE Truck Routing and fleet-grade routing APIs. MileMaker's VP of Engineering came from HERE, and HERE is a direct rival for commercial-vehicle routing data and developer-facing location APIs.
• TomTom: Location technology provider offering commercial vehicle routing and mapping APIs. Competes with MileMaker in trucking-specific mileage and routing, particularly for fleet customers and embedded TMS use cases globally.
• WorkWave: Software provider for fleet, logistics, and last-mile operations with route optimization and mileage tools. Competes with MileMaker for carrier and service-fleet routing dollars, particularly in field-service-adjacent segments.
• Trimble Maps (PC*Miler): Trimble's commercial transportation mapping division, built around PC*Miler, is the most direct truck-specific routing and mileage competitor to MileMaker. Both offer truck-attributed routing, mileage calculation, and TMS integration for North American carriers and shippers.
