Note: Although Maptitude is probably off-topic for this forum, the following concerns a replacement for a Microsoft MapPoint product. Also, many people are moving from MapPoint to Caliper's Maptitude due to the inadequacies of Microsoft's current and planned
geospatial products.
------------------------
We have just released "MileCharter for Maptitude" - a version of our popular MPMilecharter add-in for Caliper's Maptitude GIS product.
MileCharter batch calculates route distances, travel times, and cost estimates between two groups of data points. For example, it can calculate the driving distances from all of your customers to all of your sales offices.
The Professional License adds the ability to perform more sophisticated queries such as "Find the 3 closest sales offices to each of my customers that are also within 30 minutes drive time".
MileCharter for Maptitude supports all of Maptitude's routing options including the diverse set of road types (typically 1-2 dozen vs. MapPoint's 5-6). It also supports Maptitude Selection Sets, allowing you to work with subsets of either your own data or Maptitude's.
For example, using Maptitude's city database, you could match your depots against cities with a population of 500,000.
Further information, free 14 day trial, and documentation can be found at:

Licenses start at US$75 for a Basic License.
With the imminent demise of Microsoft MapPoint, we are recommending that our customers switch to Caliper Maptitude. We are offering discounts for existing customers of MPMileCharter for MapPoint v3.
We also have a growing library of articles and pages about Caliper Maptitude at:
