Overview

The Route Optimization API turns a fleet's toughest planning problems into efficient delivery plans. Give it a set of vehicles and stops and it solves the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) — assigning stops to vehicles and ordering them to minimise total drive time and cost. It handles capacity, time windows and multiple depots, so dispatchers stop planning routes by hand and couriers drive fewer kilometres.
