Route Optimization

Multi-Day Route Optimization

Manage orders and routes for multiple visits over a long period of time, and asses the impact of decisions made in one period on outcomes in other periods.

BENEFITS

Save on the time spent planning

Producing weekly schedules for your mobile workforce can be very difficult: it requires ad-hoc orders to be planned alongside fixed orders and cyclic appointments. Optimization cuts back the time spent planning drastically. Time for your planners will be freed up for them to focus on the most important matters.

Manage the complexity of hundred to thousands of stops

Your schedule usually requires a lot of complexity to manage: you need to balance frequent visits with ad hoc visits, inspections or recurring maintenance. Optimization manages this complexity for you: effortlessly prioritize relationships, jobs performed by multiple persons simultaneously, and cyclical appointments are incorporated into the schedule.

Reduce operational expenses

By optimizing your weekly schedules, you can reduce your operational costs by an average of 31%. Use your resources in the most efficient way: maximize the customers served and minimize overall costs. As a result, you can get more work done with fewer resources and save on fuel costs.

The workload of your employees is characterized by frequent or cyclical visits, fixed assignments, priority relationships and predetermined appointments or deadlines. Get the most out of your workforce by scheduling them weeks in advance.

Constraints for long-term planning

  • Specific technical requirements that match an order to (a part of) your fleet or operators
  • Time windows and working hour restrictions
  • Frequency of visits: visited each month/ week/ no more than .. weeks in between
  • Already communicated deadlines/appointments for your customers
  • Geographically dispersed operators/inspectors/workers
  • Orders performed by multiple operators at the same time

solution details

How it works

You can easily manage a fleet of vehicles that visit customers at different times, days, or weeks. Each customer has a specific visiting pattern, such as cyclical visits, fixed assignments, priority relationships, and predetermined appointments or deadlines.

Each customer has a changing demand, while each vehicle has a fixed capacity. OnRoute will take into account the varying demands of customers and reduce the total distance traveled.
