Upload your permits once. Bridge Shield reads every bridge restriction, plans a route that avoids anything you can't legally cross, flags what needs a pilot, and keeps the record to prove it.
A single vehicle can operate under a dozen different permits, one per region, each with its own bridge list, speed limits, and expiry date. Cross the wrong one and you're looking at fines, bridge damage, or worse — and if it ever gets questioned, "we were pretty sure it was fine" isn't an answer. Bridge Shield reads the actual permit documents and turns them into a route you can trust, every time.
Four steps, the same every time — no manual bridge-checking, no relying on memory.
PDF in, structured bridge data out — coordinates, speed limits, lane position, expiry.
Enter a start and end point. The route is checked against every permit the vehicle holds.
Any Do Not Cross bridge is routed around automatically. Pilot-required bridges are flagged plainly.
Every restriction is on record, tied to its source permit — ready if it's ever questioned.
Shortest route crossed a Do Not Cross bridge. Bridge Shield found a legal alternative via SH1 and SH26 automatically — no manual detour planning.
A bridge requiring a pilot vehicle was on the fastest route. Flagged clearly before departure, with a pilot-free alternative offered where one existed.
A trip crossing three separate council permits was checked against all of them at once — no bridge missed because it fell outside a single permit's area.
Bridge Shield didn't start as a software idea — it started with a crane operator tired of cross-checking paper permits by hand before every trip. It's built for the way heavy transport actually works in New Zealand: multiple regional permits, bridges that change without warning, and drivers who need a straight answer, not a guess.
