Route Optimization Demo (Free)
Compare a simple optimized stop order against your current route. This demo estimates distance and time savings using coordinate inputs (lat/lon). Export the optimized route to CSV for dispatch.
Optimize a route in seconds
| # | Stop | Lat | Lon |
|---|
This demo does not call external map APIs by default. If you want, you can add:
- A Google Maps embed link for the optimized stop order
- Or a static map image request (requires an API key)
Route optimization for fleets: what it improves
Route optimization helps fleets reduce wasted miles, improve on-time performance, and increase vehicle utilization. Even a simple stop-order optimization can cut distance when routes are built manually or change frequently.
What route optimization can improve
- Cost per mile: fewer miles means less fuel and less wear.
- On-time performance: smoother routes reduce late jobs and missed ETAs.
- Utilization: less deadhead time can free capacity for more stops.
- Driver experience: fewer stressful “backtrack” routes.
Why this demo uses coordinates
- Coordinates avoid geocoding complexity and make the demo fully self-contained.
- Addresses can be supported later by adding a geocoding step (API-based).
Route Optimization FAQ
Does this account for traffic or time windows?
No. This demo uses straight-line distance between coordinates (great for a quick estimate). Dispatch-grade routing typically uses road network distance, traffic, and constraints.
What’s the difference between route planning and route optimization?
Route planning is building a workable route. Optimization is systematically minimizing cost (miles/time) while satisfying constraints.
Can I optimize for multiple drivers?
That’s a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). This page is a single-route stop-order demo, but it can be expanded if you want.
