Route Optimization
Stop Wasting Hours Planning Routes
Your dispatcher spends 30 minutes every morning hunched over a map. Your drivers zigzag across town burning fuel and daylight. DropHaul optimizes every route in seconds.
How It Works
Three Taps. Optimized Routes.
DropHaul automatically solves the traveling salesman problem for your daily routes. Add your stops, hit optimize, and the fastest sequence is calculated instantly.
- 1
Add your stops
Pick jobs from your list, assign a driver and truck. Addresses are already geocoded.
- 2
Tap optimize
Our engine calculates the fastest sequence using real road distances and traffic patterns.
- 3
Routes push to drivers
Optimized routes sync to the mobile app with turn-by-turn directions. Estimated time and distance calculated.
The Difference
Same stops. Fewer miles.
Before
- 87 miles driven
- 4 hours 20 minutes on the road
- 3 backtrack segments
- Dispatcher spends 30+ min planning
After
- 52 miles driven — 40% less
- 2 hours 45 minutes — 37% faster
- Zero backtracking
- Optimized in under 5 seconds
Built In, Not Bolted On
Works With Your Existing Workflow
Route optimization is not a separate tool. It is wired directly into dispatch, driver apps, and customer addresses.
- Customer addresses auto-geocoded
- Roundtrip routes from your yard
- Optimized routes push to driver app in real time
- Up to 12 stops per route
- Estimated time and distance per route
- Re-optimize mid-day when stops change
Real-World Results
Built for How You Actually Work
8-Truck Construction Fleet
Distribute 60+ daily stops across 8 drivers with balanced workloads, respecting site access hours and driver shift times. Fleet-wide optimization runs in under 30 seconds.
Solo Operator, 30 Stops
One truck, one driver, maximum efficiency. Single-vehicle optimization eliminates backtracking and fits 4-6 extra stops into the same working day.
3-Day Festival Setup
Coordinate delivery, service, and pickup across a multi-day event. Time-window constraints ensure units arrive before gates open and get serviced between sessions.
Under the Hood
Not Just "Shortest Path." Real Vehicle Routing.
Most route planners solve a simple shortest-path problem. DropHaul solves a full Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) — the same class of algorithm used by UPS and FedEx.
- Distance matrix pre-computed for accurate travel times between all stops
- Time window constraints respect customer access hours (earliest/latest)
- Service duration per job type factored into scheduling
- Driver shift start/end times and break durations included
- Fleet-wide mode distributes jobs across all vehicles simultaneously
- Async optimization with polling — results in under 30 seconds
