Routing and dispatch

Build tomorrow's routes in minutes, not in spreadsheets.

Turn a day's confirmed orders into routes with drivers assigned, inside truck capacity, delivery windows and driving-hour limits, while keeping standing customers on the trucks they expect.

The dispatch board with the day's routes, drivers and trucks

Routing is the hardest hour of the day.

Orders keep arriving until the cut-off, trucks have pallet and weight limits, customers have delivery windows, and drivers have hours. The board changes until the trucks leave.

APFoodz builds the routes from the confirmed orders and those constraints, then lets the dispatcher move what needs moving.

What is in routing.

One-click build

Confirmed delivery orders for a warehouse become routes with drivers assigned.

Capacity

Each truck's pallet and weight capacity respected.

Windows and hours

Customer delivery windows and driver hours respected.

Build your way

Optimize from scratch, or build around your standing routes.

Route templates

Standing routes by weekday with fixed customers and stop order.

Smart split

An order too big for one truck split across two routes.

Bad addresses caught

Orders whose address cannot be located are set aside with the reason.

Dispatch board

Drag stops between routes, hold orders, assign drivers and trucks, dispatch one or all.

Driver hours

Weekly driver-hour limits with time-log adjustments, and rental trucks.

Truck recall

Bring a dispatched truck back before any stop is worked.

Manifests and route packets

The manifest and every invoice on the route in one PDF, loaded last stop first.

Route templates

Keep standing customers where they belong, and still optimize.

Template-aware building keeps a route's regular customers together and fits the day's other orders around them.

  • Templates by day and by area
  • Template first, or let the optimizer consider templates
  • Manual routes for anything special

Routing & dispatch: questions we are asked.

What does the route builder optimize?

The order of stops on each route, within truck capacity, customer delivery windows and driver hours.

Can we keep fixed routes?

Yes. Route templates keep regular customers on their route and in their order; the builder can put templates first or work around them.
