What is Route Planning?

The process of importing a list of orders and putting relevant destinations into an order that makes sense is known as route planning. Software that does route planning charts out a path that covers every one of the stops listed in the shortest possible time.

Where it falls short, however, is in that it doesn’t take into account other aspects of logistics, such as great customer service and minimal expenses. Route Optimization, often confused with Route Planning, is a better option for this reason. In Route Optimization, delivery routes are based on more than just distance. The advanced algorithms make room for complex needs and promise smoother delivery.
