Use Case — Route Optimization

Stop Planning Routes
by Hand. Start Winning.

Manual route planning is costing you more than you realize. Your drivers are taking inefficient paths, missing delivery windows, and burning fuel on routes that haven't been reviewed in months. Fleetbase's route optimization engine sequences every run for maximum efficiency — automatically, in seconds, factoring in real-time traffic, delivery windows, vehicle capacity, and driver availability.

The old way

What inefficient routing is actually costing you

Drivers covering the same roads twice because no one reviewed the stop sequence
Fuel bills climbing with no data to explain why or identify which routes are responsible
Delivery time windows missed because routes weren't planned around them
Dispatchers spending 90 minutes every morning manually sequencing runs
Vehicles returning to depot half-empty while other vehicles are overloaded
No visibility into whether optimization is working — or degrading over time

Route optimization that works the way your operation does

Multi-constraint, real-time, and built for the complexity of real-world logistics.

Multi-Constraint Route Optimization

Fleetbase sequences routes by solving for the full picture simultaneously — delivery time windows, vehicle weight and volume capacity, driver work-hour limits, depot start and end constraints, and customer priority levels. Not one factor at a time. All at once.

  • Time-window constrained routing with hard and soft window support
  • Vehicle payload, volume, and refrigeration zone constraints
  • Driver shift-length and break-time compliance built in

Real-Time Dynamic Re-Routing

Routes don't survive first contact with the day. When a delivery is added, cancelled, or delayed — or when traffic blocks a critical road — Fleetbase recalculates the affected run automatically and pushes the updated route to the driver's Navigator app instantly.

  • Automatic re-optimization when orders are added or cancelled mid-run
  • Live traffic integration with proactive route adjustment
  • Driver app receives updated routes without interrupting navigation

Multi-Vehicle Fleet Coordination

Optimizing one route in isolation creates bottlenecks across your fleet. Fleetbase coordinates the entire fleet simultaneously — balancing workload across vehicles, eliminating zone overlap, and ensuring no driver finishes two hours early while another runs overtime.

  • Fleet-wide load balancing across all available vehicles
  • Zone and territory-aware routing to eliminate inefficient overlaps
  • Overtime risk flagging before routes are dispatched

Delivery Time Window Management

Customer-promised delivery windows are constraints, not suggestions. Fleetbase builds routes that respect every committed window — and alerts dispatchers before a route is finalized if any window can't be met, so you can fix it before a customer is disappointed.

  • Hard and soft time window enforcement per order
  • Pre-dispatch alerts when windows can't be met with current vehicle allocation
  • Customer notification triggers when route plans confirm delivery ETAs

Route Performance Analytics

Track planned vs. actual route execution to understand where optimization is working and where drivers are deviating. Identify recurring inefficiencies, flag problematic zones, and use real data to continuously improve your planning parameters.

  • Planned vs. actual route comparison per driver and zone
  • Fuel consumption per route with variance from optimized plan
  • Stop sequence adherence rate and deviation flagging

Bulk Import & Planning Tools

Feed Fleetbase orders from your OMS via API, CSV import, or manual entry. The optimization engine handles fleet routing for any volume — from 10 stops to 10,000 — and presents a complete optimized plan for dispatcher review before dispatch.

  • REST API, CSV, and manual order ingestion for route planning
  • Bulk plan review with one-click optimization trigger
  • What-if scenario modelling for fleet sizing and zone planning

We reduced our daily driven distance by 22% in the first two weeks. What used to take our dispatcher 90 minutes every morning now takes 3 minutes. Fleetbase paid back its cost in fuel savings alone within the first month.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

How fast does Fleetbase optimize a route?

Typical 20–50 stop routes optimize in under 30 seconds. Larger fleet plans of 200–500 stops across multiple vehicles typically complete in 2–4 minutes.

Can optimization account for vehicle-specific constraints like refrigerated zones?

Yes. Vehicle attributes including payload capacity, volume, temperature zones, and equipment type can all be defined and used as hard constraints in the optimization engine.

What happens when a new order is added after routes are dispatched?

Fleetbase re-evaluates the affected route in real-time and updates the driver's Navigator app with the revised stop sequence — including re-optimized ETAs for all remaining stops.

Does Fleetbase integrate with our existing OMS for order import?

Yes. The REST API allows orders to flow directly from your OMS into Fleetbase for planning and dispatch. Webhooks return delivery events back to your system in real-time.

Can we see the difference between our current routes and the optimized routes before committing?

Yes. The route planning interface shows the optimized plan with total distance, estimated duration, and fuel cost before you confirm. Dispatchers review and approve before routes are pushed to drivers.
