Auto-Planning doesn’t just find the shortest routes. It plans around the real-world rules of your operation.

• Delivery windows and service levels. Timed deliveries, AM/PM services and customer-specific requirements are all built into the plan.
• Vehicle capacities. Every load respects weight, pallet and space limits.
• Vehicle skills and restrictions. Jobs only go to vehicles with the right capabilities, such as tail lifts or hazardous goods certification.
• Shifts, breaks and depot returns. Set start and finish times and locations for every vehicle, add up to two driver breaks, and make sure vehicles are back at the depot on time.
• Realistic timings. Real-world loading, unloading and site delays are factored in, so plans work on the road, not just on paper.
• Smarter consolidation. Deliveries to the same location are grouped, which reduces duplicate stops and wasted service time.
• Next-day prioritisation. Deliveries due on the schedule date are prioritised automatically, so urgent consignments are never left behind.

Assign dedicated areas to your vehicles and drivers, so they stay on the patch they know best.

• Draw any shape on the map and assign it to a vehicle in seconds.
• Each territory shows the driver’s shift, so you can see at a glance who’s covering where, and when.
• Keep flexible “mop-up” vehicles free for overflow work.
• Switch territories on or off for each vehicle, whenever you need to.

The result is consistent local knowledge, better customer familiarity and greater operational control, without relying on one person who “knows the rounds.

• Full route planning. Optimise large groups of deliveries and collections at once, producing complete schedules across your whole fleet.
• Multi-run planning. Automatically find vehicles that can complete a second or third run, getting more from every vehicle.
• Single-route optimisation. Improve the running order of an existing route.
• Vehicle balancing. Spread work across more vehicles when you need to, for example to leave room for expected collections.

Handing planning to AI doesn’t mean handing over the decisions.

• Pause and review at any time. As soon as the first results are ready, see the jobs planned, vehicles used and total mileage.
• See every route before it goes live. Open any route to check its stops, or preview every route on the map.
• Keep it running for longer for an even better plan, and resume it whenever you like.
• Untick any route you don’t want. Only the routes you keep become schedules. Jobs from the rest go straight back into the pool, ready to plan by hand or run again.
• No mystery gaps. You get full visibility of planned and unplanned jobs, with a clear explanation for any job that can’t be allocated.

No more dragging and dropping. Auto-Planning creates every schedule and allocates every consignment for you. Because it’s built into the TMS, your routes flow straight into dispatch, the driver mobile app and customer updates.
