Route planning for a fleet of 420 vehicles

A planning engine that recalculates routes in eight minutes instead of four hours of manual work, with 12% fewer kilometres driven.

−12% kilometres driven
8 min replanning time
96% on-time deliveries

The challenge

Daily planning was done by hand, by six dispatchers, over four hours. Any last-minute change — a cancelled order, a broken-down vehicle — triggered manual replanning of the whole day.

The application used by drivers did not work without a signal, and 30% of the areas served had poor coverage.

The solution

We built an optimisation engine that accounts for delivery windows, capacity, city access restrictions and legal driving times.

  • Full replanning in eight minutes, on any change
  • An Android application that works offline and syncs when the signal returns
  • A dispatcher dashboard with real-time adjustment suggestions
  • An analytical store for comparing planned against actual

The outcome

Kilometres driven fell by 12%, and planning time from four hours to eight minutes. The six dispatchers moved from manual planning to exception handling.

On-time delivery rose from 89% to 96%.
