Kardinal Use case

Territory Pavement

Method showdown

Manual design, clustering, or Kardinal Pavement? We compared all three methods across five key criteria: time, homogeneity, field consistency, adjustments and coverage. See the results at a glance.
Manual
Clustering
Kardinal Pavement
Time spent
Several weeks / months
1 - 3 weeks
< 1 week
Cell homogeneity
Hard to do manually
Poor (based on parcel density)
Excellent (based on working time)
Field consistency
Depends on human expertise
Poor (splits rivers, road axes, etc.)
Fully consistent with field reality
Adjustments needed
Depends on initial version
Extensive manual adjustments required
Estimated < 0.2%
Coverage
Often incomplete
Depends on the method used

Kardinal’s approach

Create the most efficient tour plan without restrictions on the number of locations to visit or resources. Our algorithm takes into account your most complex constraints and considers traffic to provide consistent routes that save time and resources.

Cell creation

Our technology automatically divides a country or region into balanced cells, designed specifically for delivery routes.

Our algorithms take into account:

  • Real geography(roads, bridges, rivers...)
  • Actual working times(including parking and urban density)
  • Your business constraints(route duration, vehicle capacity, delivery time windows...)

Significant time savings in creating cells

manually

Concrete example

In the heart of Marseille, our Pavement algorithm automatically drew a cell that follows the quays and borders the east side of a major road that's impossible to cross. It is not luck, it is logistics logic.

Benefits

Time savings

No more weeks spent manually adjusting cells.

Better workload balance

Drivers get fair and balanced zones.

Smoother routes

Fewer detours, U-turns, or unnecessary crossings.

Simplified planning and sectorization

Cells provide a stable, long-term structure.

Better field adoption

Assigned zones make sense to drivers.

Nationwide standardization

A single, consistent method for every region.
