What to consider when choosing a Delivery Route Planning Software 

You should first look for an optimisation tool that is designed to drive delivery density, increase productivity and reduce miles, along with the number of vehicles, routes and deliveries that it can handle. The Descartes route optimisation engine can do all of these. 

Read our blog on six things to look for when choosing a route optimisation software. 

 

Delivery density

It is vitally important to ensure that each route has adequate delivery density and optimises the route travelled, creating an even workload across the pool of drivers. These functions are carried out by Descartes' advanced route optimisation engine. 

A company’s ability to continuously create reliable multi-drop delivery routes using fewer vehicles, miles and drivers makes them more flexible, able to cope with changes in demand and minimise costs.
