Optimize Routes & Schedules with Route Optimization API
Get optimized routes, dynamic schedules and highly accurate ETAs. Swiftly order and reorder complex task sequences.
Join the Ranks: Startups to Enterprises Trust Our Routing and Navigation Platform.
Key Features
Incorporate 50+ Hard and
Soft Constraints
Implement over 50 hard and soft constraints for enhanced route and schedule flexibility. Balance time and cost considerations by setting preferences for specific waiting times, task lateness limits and vehicle work hours.
Leverage Custom Objective
Functions
Go beyond travel cost minimization using the custom objectives. Minimize the number of vehicles used or the total time taken to complete tasks. Ensure equal task distribution or keep travel costs within a close range across routes.
Optimize Routes for Various
Vehicle Profiles
A route for a gasoline delivery truck won't work for a waste collection truck — and we get that. With our API, efficiently plan routes for a variety of vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles.
Design Task Sequences With
Complex Constraints
Arrange task sequences, both direct and indirect, as per your complex business constraints. Define job-shipment connections to ensure sequences follow your preferences and are executed as specified.
Integrate Real-Time and
Historical Traffic
Get routes that adapt to both current road situations and past traffic trends. Give your fleet reliable ETAs tailored to the hour and day of the week.
Use Cases
Trucking
Get truck-specific routes tailored to the vehicle’s attributes.
On-Demand Delivery
Simplify the complexities of multi-route and multi-stop planning across supply chain.
Field Service
Improve resource utilization and simplify work order scheduling.
Waste Collection
Optimize daily operations and achieve regulatory compliance at scale.
Ride Hailing
Enhance driver dispatch, route planning and pick-ups/drop-off experience.
Urban Mobility
