We are glad to announce the latest release of our route optimisation API, designed to provide even greater control and efficiency for last-mile logistics and fleet management.
This update introduces two major sets of features requested by our partners:
🛣️ Advanced Road Manipulation
Gain granular control over how your routes are planned:
- Segment Restrictions: Manually restrict specific road segments.
- Turn Prohibitions: Easily manage U-turns and left-hand turns for safer, more efficient routing.
- Dynamic Speed Management: Adjust calculated speeds within specific geofences to account for local conditions.
Use Cases:
- Avoiding route planning in areas where roads are temporarily closed.
- Reducing maximum speeds in regions experiencing adverse weather conditions.
- Allowing the use of special roads that are only accessible during summer or winter seasons.
🚛 Support for Multi-Compartment Vehicles
Optimising space for complex hauls is now easier than ever. This is perfect for refrigerated trucks (e.g., -18°C and +4°C zones) or vehicles with mixed loading areas (shelves vs. floor space).
- Automated Allocation: Smart distribution of orders based on specific criteria and types.
- Unloading Priority: Define the exact sequence for offloading cargo.
- Order Splitting: Seamlessly split a single order across different compartments.
Use Cases:
- Delivering orders where part of the cargo requires strict temperature control.
- Managing vehicles with side-mounted shelves, where loading volumes must be calculated separately for the aisle and the shelving units.
