Difference Between Scheduling and Routing
Scheduling Routing
Scheduling is a process of
planning out time intervals for
when sales visits or deliveries
will be completed and who will
make them.
Routing refers to mapping
routes for delivery agents or
sales reps to ensure they
happen on time.
Collate sales, delivery or service
requests to select the number
of vehicles or staff required and
assign them at specific time
intervals.
It precedes routing and is
necessary to manage workloads
and staffing needs.
Routing helps you plan for
vehicle capacities, transportation
costs, and time.
Route planning essentially maps
out optimum routes for delivery
based on your scheduling. It
helps to map out precise routes.
