CAPABILITIES

What the Route Optimization API delivers

Optimal multi-stop sequencing

Calculate the most efficient stop sequence for any number of destinations. Minimize total distance, travel time, or cost — depending on your operational priority.

Time window constraints

Plan routes that respect delivery windows, customer availability, and pickup schedules. Each stop can have its own time constraint — the API finds a feasible sequence that satisfies all of them.

Vehicle capacity optimization

Assign stops to vehicles based on load capacity, weight limits, and volume constraints. Ensures each vehicle operates within its physical limits across the full route.

Driver hours compliance

Factor in maximum shift duration, mandatory breaks, and HOS (Hours of Service) regulations for commercial drivers. Routes are generated within legal driving hour limits.

Fleet-wide optimization

Optimize routes across an entire fleet simultaneously — not just one vehicle at a time. Balances workload across drivers and vehicles to maximize fleet efficiency.

REST API · JSON responses

Single endpoint, straightforward JSON output. Returns optimized stop sequences, estimated times of arrival, total distance, and duration per vehicle. No proprietary SDK required.
