The different types of route optimization
Depending on the quality of your data, the processes already in place and how dynamic your activity is, not all route optimizations are equal. Which one should you choose for your operational context?
Why this report
Not all route optimizations are equal
From manual planning to continuous optimization, each level answers a different maturity and set of constraints. Understanding the gaps between them is the key to choosing the approach that truly fits your field reality.
The goal: compare the four levels of optimization, their advantages and their limits, so you can situate your organization and identify the level suited to your logistics challenges.
What you will find
Four levels compared
From manual planning to continuous optimization, explained and put in perspective.
Advantages and limits
The strengths and blind spots of each approach according to your operational context.
Decision benchmarks
The criteria to gauge your maturity and aim for the right level of optimization.
From manual planning to continuous optimization
Manual planning
Routes built by hand, dependent on the experience of your planners.
Static optimization
A plan optimized once then frozen for the day, blind to field disruptions.
Real-time re-optimization
Routes adjust to disruptions throughout the day, as soon as an event occurs.
Continuous optimization
The algorithm re-optimizes continuously, before, during and after your operations.
