Route optimisation

Plan smarter. Deliver faster.

Let the optimisation engine build the routes - taking load, time windows, breaks and zones into account - while you keep full control with drag and drop, a live map and profitability per route.

See how

Good planning is your margin

The difference between a good and a bad route day is fuel, overtime and unhappy customers. FleetX plans on real constraints - not just the shortest way.

Real capacity

Weight, volume, items, pallet spaces and loading metres per vehicle - the optimiser never loads more than the vehicle takes.

Real time

Time windows from the order, unloading time per address and statutory breaks are built into the route - not added afterwards.

Real roads

Heavy vehicles are routed on legal roads with load classes and bridge data from the national road authority, and toll passings are calculated straight into the price.

Optimisation

Many routes. One click.

From a batch of orders to finished, drivable routes.

Optimise one route or many routes and vehicles at once. Pickup before delivery is guaranteed per order, zones can lock routes to their own areas, and the preview shows load and driving time per route before you confirm the assignment. Orders that do not fit are flagged clearly.

  • Multi-route optimisation across vehicles
  • Capacity in five dimensions: weight, volume, items, pallets, loading metres
  • Time windows, unloading time and driver breaks in the calculation
  • Automatic re-optimisation when orders are added or removed

Dispatch

Drag, drop, done

Map, calendar and order list in one workspace.

Drag one or more orders straight onto a driver, route or vehicle calendar. Optimised routes are drawn on the map in their own colour with numbered stops, the stop order can be overridden with a drag, and the undo button saves you when you need it.

  • Drag and drop with multi-select of orders
  • Resource calendar and a separate vehicle calendar
  • Routes drawn on a live map with real-time positions
  • Custom order tabs that can be shared with other dispatchers
Driver suggestions

The system suggests the right driver

Scored on proximity, capacity, history and reliability.

The suggestion engine ranks drivers on driving distance, free capacity, time window, who usually drives for the customer, workload and delivery precision - and tells you honestly why someone is ruled out: on holiday, wrong vehicle type, full load or too far away.

  • Weighted scoring with a reason per driver
  • Warnings before assignment: absence, shifts and driving time limits
  • Remaining driving time from the tachograph - live in dispatch
  • Capacity indicator per driver through the day

Heavy transport

Legal routes for heavy vehicles

National road data built in.

Routes are calculated against the national road authority's route planner with load class, height, length and weight - including abnormal loads, timber haulage and modular road trains. Bridges along the route are listed for escorted transport, and toll passings with the correct rate class become price lines on the order automatically.

  • Load class routing from the national road authority
  • Toll stations calculated and priced automatically
  • Bridge list along the route for abnormal loads
  • Closed roads can be avoided automatically
ETA

Delivery times customers can trust

An ETA that updates itself through the day.

The ETA is calculated for the whole stop chain and re-anchored continuously on the last stop actually completed. Late stops are flagged against the deadline on the order, and status per address drives automatic customer notifications by email and SMS.

  • ETA chain per driver, buffered and always current
  • Re-anchored on actual progress - not the plan
  • Delay flag per stop against the order deadline
  • Customer alerts on picked up, delivered and deviations

Profitability

Do you know what the route actually earns?

Revenue minus wages, fuel and settlement - per route.

Route profitability sets order revenue against the real wage cost including supplements, fuel consumption from telematics or an emissions model, and settlement to subcontractors. Recurring routes are generated automatically per weekday and month - with a log of what was created.

  • Result per route with a cost split
  • Fuel from telematics with model-based fallback
  • CO2 emissions per route
  • Recurring routes with weekday and month patterns

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what transport companies most often ask about route optimisation in FleetX.

What does the route optimiser take into account?

Capacity in five dimensions (weight, volume, items, pallet spaces, loading metres), time windows, unloading time per address, statutory driver breaks, zones and pickup before delivery per order.

Can several routes and vehicles be optimised at once?

Yes. Multi-route optimisation spreads orders across many routes and vehicles in one operation, with a preview before you confirm the assignment.

What happens to orders that do not fit?

They are flagged clearly in the order list and pulled out of the route, so you can handle them manually - nothing disappears quietly.

Can heavy vehicles be routed on legal roads?

Yes. Routes are calculated against the national road authority's route planner with load class, height, length and weight - including abnormal loads, timber haulage and modular road trains, with a bridge list along the route.

Does FleetX calculate tolls automatically?

Yes. Toll passings are identified from the route with the correct rate class and become price lines on the order automatically.

How does the ETA calculation work?

The ETA is calculated for the whole stop chain and re-anchored continuously on the last stop actually completed. Late stops are flagged, and status drives automatic customer notifications.

Can the driver optimise their own route?

Yes, the driver can optimise the remaining stops from their own position directly in the app.

Does FleetX support recurring routes?

Yes. Recurring routes are defined with weekday and month patterns and generated automatically, with a log of what was created.
