Route Planning

Route planning is the process of assigning employees or vehicles to perform tasks, such as maintenance, pick-up/drop-offs, deliveries or patient care, that are spread out geographically. This is a well-studied problem in the academia referenced among others as the home health care routing and scheduling problem, because of its NP-Hard complexity. Consequently, even for a computer this is a challenging problem, so tackling it manually is a extremely difficult puzzle.

The Operational Route Planner API exists to create high-quality routes that take into account employee/vehicle characteristics, task time windows and requirements, travel times and distances and much more. Planners are able to spend less time on planning and ensure a better utilization of workforce/fleet. The API is feature-rich in order to be configurable to a broad range of user needs and requirements.
