Route Optimization API

The Route Optimization API provides everything you need to solve a variety of vehicle routing problems, including the classical “traveling salesman problem”. It can handle vehicle routing problems complicated by your business-specific side constraints. It is incredibly fast and easy to integrate into your application.

Optimization Goals

Choose the goal that fits your needs, whether you want to minimize the number of employed drivers, employ all drivers to balance load, or reduce the makespan (in turn, delivering more in less time).

Vehicle Profiles

From cargo bikes and scooters to large trucks – choose the vehicle type that fits your requirements. You can even place several profiles into a single problem and we will assign pickups and deliveries to those types accordingly.

Skills

Do your drivers or technicians require specific skills like “must speak English” or “able to repair washing machine” to serve your customers? No problem! Our API allows you to assign an arbitrary number of skills to your drivers.

Vehicle Types

Design your own vehicle types and model the capacity dimensions you require, such as weight, volume, number of passenger seats and/or wheelchair space.

Time Windows

Do your customers have opening or specific delivery times? No problem. You can define multiple time windows. Additionally, you can specify the amount of time the driver needs to serve customers.

Traffic

Do you want to consider traffic? We optimize your vehicle routes based on historic travel time data aggregated from millions of anonymously-collected data points.
