Different Route types Planning
_____
Whether you are dealing with closed or open route types, optimization is an easy task.
Closed Path Routing
Determine the depot location and list all pickup and delivery orders. The optimizer will plan the route in a U-shaped path that takes the vehicle back to the starting depot, with the final stop close to the depot. Combine your pickup and delivery orders and get optimized routes or enhance your pickups and deliveries separately.
Depot-to-Depot Routing
Determine the start and end depot locations and list all pickup and delivery orders. Routes will be planned in a directed path from one to another depot in an optimized path in a matter of seconds.
Open Path Routing
Specify the start depot and let the optimizer plan the next stops and choose the finishing one. This is highly suitable for serving a maximum number of stops within the shortest period of time.
Reverse Open Path Routing
Specify the end depot and the optimizer will start planning from the furthest stop from the depot, generating a route for the vehicle and providing the optimal starting point.
Route Planning with Time Windows
_____
Find the optimal routes within a given time window constraint.
Define customer time windows, specify loading and unloading times, and the optimizer will take these restrictions into account while calculating routes and schedules. The engine will generate an estimated time of arrival.
Multi-day Route Planning
_____
Define customer time windows and delivery dates and optimize your multi-day shipments.
Plan Routes based on Different Vehicles Profiles
_____
Use detailed modeling options to regard all specific elements of your vehicles.
Available Vehicles
Specify the number of available vehicles for each type.
Speed Profiles
Speed restrictions, average speeds for specific vehicle types and roads included in the analysis.
Route Profile
Restrict the number of stops per route, total length and duration of the route.
Loading Capacities
Make capacity restrictions for each vehicle type.
Start and End Depot
Define the start and end points of each vehicle.
Vehicle Type
Service by a certain vehicle type (e.g. refrigerator truck, flatbed truck).
