What's the difference?

Route planning vs. route optimization

A commercial truck routing, mileage and mapping software calculates the optimal route from a given starting point to one or several given delivery addresses for individual trucks. It automatically considers relevant truck restrictions and planning aspects such as routes unsuited for heavy trucks and Hours of Service (HoS), thereby helping professional truck drivers plan trips that maximize their available hours and minimize their transport costs.

Route optimization software - such as PTV Route Optimizer - does a lot more than that: It optimizes multiple routes for multiple vehicles and drivers simultaneously given a certain order volume. The software distributes orders among the trucks, determines the best order of stops and calculates an optimized route for each truck. The goal of route optimization software is to deploy the entire fleet as efficiently as possible.

Route Optimization on the last mile

Last Mile Delivery of CPG items

Last mile delivery is tricky and by far the most expensive part of the supply chain, accounting for as much as 30-50% of total delivery cost. And every failed delivery attempt, traffic jam or wrong turn drives up the costs even more. That’s why optimizing last mile delivery is critical to overall efficiency and profitability.

Manual planning is unable to consider the various factors and restrictions impacting last mile delivery. That’s why a route optimization software like PTV Route Optimizer is essential for an efficient last mile delivery. The software uses algorithms to assign shipments to tours and vehicles, creates a schedule for the whole fleet and calculates optimized routes.

Emissions Reduction

With PTV Route Optimizer, you cut emissions - and save money doing it. Our route planning and scheduling software calculates efficient routes and schedules for your entire fleet. Orders are combined in an optimized way, and vehicles better utilized. Moreover, with PTV Route Optimizer your vehicles are always on the most efficient available route. The result: lower fuel consumption and lower emissions.
