Through route optimization, companies operating fleets can benefit from financial savings, improved customer services and simplified operations by increasing productivity with more visits and deliveries while decreasing resource requirements and the number of vehicles needed. The software allows evaluation of manually prepared routes and generation of optimized routes, taking into account customer characteristics like delivery quantities and schedules as well as resource limitations. It aims to optimize vehicle loading, reduce driven distance, and reorganize routes without disrupting operations or requiring additional vehicles.

1. Through route optimization, companies operating fleets can benefit from financial savings, improved customer services and simplified operations. Increase your productivity. More visits, more deliveries. Decrease resource requirements and fewer vehicles. Control your process and reduce planning time. TourSolver allows the evaluation of manually prepared routes and the ability to prepare optimized routes. The optimization routes takes into account various customer characteristics (ie: quantity to be delivered, day of delivery etc.) as well as resource characteristics (ie: load capacity, hours of operation, permitted overtime etc.).
