Routes Tailored to Your Unique Business Needs
2 min read
Delivery businesses have orders to fulfil and service businesses have jobs to complete. Most of the time, those delivery or job orders come along with multiple constraints that need to be taken into account when planning a route for your drivers or technicians – making it almost impossible to execute when planning manually.
OptimoRoute is designed to help you optimize your routes based on specific constraints or requirements automatically. With it, you can customize your routes to ensure that your orders are delivered and jobs completed according to your unique business needs.
Whether you need to schedule specific delivery or service time windows, account for specific vehicle availability, or meet specific customer requirements, OptimoRoute can help you create the most efficient routes possible.
Routing with complex constraints
Route optimization is not only about finding the shortest route, but also the smartest route. The real-world is full of requirements that change what it means to get from A to B. Operations teams have to balance dozens of constraints simultaneously to serve their customers including:
- Customer time windows
- Job durations
- Vehicle load capacity
- Driver availability
- Order and task priority
- Recurring appointments or deliveries
- Pick up and delivery dependencies
- Driver and technician skills, certifications, and requirements
- SLA commitments
- Assigned or preferred drivers and technicians
OptimoRoute incorporates all these constraints into route calculations to generate efficient, realistic, and executable schedules. These are customizable to fit a variety of different use cases, whether it be landscaping jobs, delivering packages, or picking up garbage bins.
Order and task management
Create and manage orders in the way that fits your operation. You can add jobs one at a time, or import them in bulk. OptimoRoute connects to ERP, CRM, FSM, POS, and order management systems through the web service API, allowing teams to automatically push orders into OptimoRoute.
Order and task details are also customizable. Each order can include an estimated duration, time window, dedicated notes, and associated load capacities. OptimoRoute also provides custom fields so that you can input any additional information your drivers or customers might need. All of this makes it easy to keep plans accurate and field teams updated.
On the fly changes
Adapt routes quickly when plans change. Add new orders, adjust for longer jobs, or respond to customer availability changes without rebuilding routes from scratch. Dispatchers can drag and drop orders, use best-fit insertion, and review constraint warnings before committing updates. If an order cannot be scheduled, OptimoRoute explains why, helping teams resolve issues faster and avoid guesswork.
Advanced workflows for real-world operations
Scale complex delivery and field service workflows without adding extra planning headaches. OptimoRoute helps teams manage recurring orders, match technician skills with job types, link pickup and delivery jobs, and coordinate jobs that require multiple drivers or technicians to arrive together.
That means dispatchers can plan around real operational requirements, such as delivering between 9am–11am, assigning refrigerated vehicles, sending certified technicians, coordinating two-person installations, prioritizing urgent jobs when capacity is limited, or repeating the same service every week. These capabilities help teams handle repeat services, returns, pickups, installations, and multi-person jobs without manually rebuilding routes from scratch.
Turn complex requirements into efficient routes
In short, OptimoRoute handles the messy operational details that make real-world routing hard. We can handle your business requirements to create efficient routes for your day-to-day needs.
Planning routes around these requirements means your routes are realistic. Your team can reduce miles driven, lower fuel costs, spend less time on the road, and keep operations running smoothly. Meeting customer expectations also helps improve satisfaction and build stronger long-term relationships.
