The route optimisation function in Deliveo allows you to sort the addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two. of shipments on your vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.).s in an optimal order. With the optimised order, the route can be covered in less time and/or with a shorter route. In the courierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. application, the addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two. are displayed in the order set here.

Usage:

1. Select the vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.). from the drop-down menu whose route you want to optimize. The current order will then be displayed.
2. Press the "Optimize" button. The system will then rearrange the addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two. into the optimal order. Next to the addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two., you will see the distance from the Base Address, the elapsed time and the calculated estimated time of arrival.

Before use, you must set the starting and arrival (base) addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two. for your vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.).s. The optimisation always calculates this origin and arrival address. If you are not satisfied with the result of the optimisation, you can drag and drop the addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two. into any order you like (the green rectangle shows the travel time and the length of the journey according to the manually set order).

Pressing the gear button in the top left corner of the map brings up a dialog with the following options:

• The "Optimization" toggle sets the main aspect of the optimization: whether the vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.). should take a shorter time or a shorter route.
• The starting point should be the base address, or the vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.).'s current location.
• Loading time: the system calculates the total journey time at each address using the loading time set. For example, if the loading time is 5 minutes and there are 10 addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two. for the courierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient., the system will calculate a total of 5×10=50 minutes loading time (no loading time is calculated at the origin and destination addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two.).

The function also includes a simple arrival time simulator. To use it, use the small digital clock to set the time of departure. For each destination, the estimated time of arrival is displayed alongside the journey time and distance.

The module uses an external optimisation provider (Google) for this operation, so we have no influence on the result of the calculation (the resulting order).

The Google optimisation service has the following limitations:

1. Max 23 stops (addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two.) optimized (+ origin and destination addressesAddresses The geographical addresses where the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. will pick up or deliver the parcel. An Address can be both a shipping address and a receiving address, the system does not distinguish between the two.)
2. Only bicycle and car mode (no truck)
3. No possibility to schedule arrivals for timed parcels or opening hours
