Route and load planning involves collecting customer orders, assigning them to vehicles, and sequencing delivery stops. Manual planning is time-consuming, error-prone, and fails to optimize for fuel efficiency or on-time delivery.
Automation collects orders from email and systems, assigns them to vehicles based on capacity and delivery windows, and sequences stops for optimal distance and compliance. The result is faster planning, better vehicle utilization, and improved delivery performance.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
The automation platform monitors the order management system and email for new customer orders. When orders arrive, they are automatically extracted and validated.
The automation extracts customer name, address, delivery window, weight, volume, and special handling notes from the order. Data is validated and standardised.
The automation retrieves the current list of available vehicles, their capacity limits, location, and scheduled unavailability from the master vehicle sheet.
The automation applies business rules to assign orders to vehicles, sequence stops for minimum distance, and balance load across the fleet. the automation generates multiple route scenarios and selects the most efficient.
The automation creates a load manifest and packing list for each vehicle, including order sequence, weight, volume, and delivery windows. Manifests are formatted for printing or digital display.
The automation sends the route and load manifest to each driver via email or, with a summary of the day's deliveries and any special instructions.
The automation records the final route plan, vehicle assignments, and timestamps in a central log for compliance and performance tracking.
