AI That Thinks Like Your Best Dispatcher

Locate2u's route optimization engine processes hundreds of constraints simultaneously -- time windows, vehicle capacity, driver skills, traffic patterns, and more -- to generate routes that save you time and money on every run.

  • Optimize hundreds of stops across multiple vehicles in under 60 seconds
  • Account for delivery time windows, vehicle load limits, and driver schedules
  • Re-optimize on the fly when last-minute orders or cancellations come in
  • Reduce average route planning time from hours to minutes

Real-World Conditions, Real-Time Adjustments

Routes planned in a vacuum fail in the real world. Locate2u factors in live traffic data, road closures, weather conditions, and historical travel times so your drivers always take the best path available right now.

  • Live traffic integration adjusts ETAs and route sequences dynamically
  • Weather-aware routing avoids hazardous conditions and delays
  • Historical data learns which roads are fastest at specific times of day
  • Automatic re-routing when unexpected road closures or incidents occur

Built for Modern Fleets, Including EVs

Whether you run a mixed fleet of vans, trucks, and electric vehicles or a uniform fleet of bikes, Locate2u optimizes routes based on each vehicle's unique constraints -- range, capacity, charging needs, and vehicle-specific road restrictions.

  • EV-aware routing factors in battery range and charging station locations
  • Multi-vehicle type support with per-vehicle capacity and speed profiles
  • Respect vehicle-specific restrictions like weight limits, low bridges, and urban zones
  • Balance workload evenly across drivers to prevent burnout and overtime

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Route optimization software uses algorithms and real-time data to calculate the most efficient sequence of stops for delivery drivers or field service teams. Instead of manually planning routes, the software considers factors like traffic, time windows, vehicle capacity, and distance to minimize travel time and fuel costs automatically.
Route optimization reduces costs by cutting total driving distance, lowering fuel consumption, and enabling drivers to complete more stops per day. Locate2u customers typically see a 20-30% reduction in fuel costs and a significant decrease in overtime hours because routes are planned more efficiently from the start.
Yes. Locate2u's route optimization engine factors in customer-specified delivery time windows, vehicle load capacity, driver skill requirements, and service duration at each stop. The algorithm ensures every stop is reached within the promised timeframe while still minimizing overall route distance and time.
Locate2u can optimize hundreds of stops across multiple vehicles in under 60 seconds. Whether you have 10 stops or 500, the engine processes all constraints simultaneously and returns fully optimized route sequences for your entire fleet.
Yes. Locate2u offers EV-aware routing that factors in battery range, charging station locations, and energy consumption patterns. The optimizer plans routes that keep electric vehicles within their range limits and schedules charging stops when needed, making it ideal for mixed or fully electric fleets.
Route planning simply maps out a path between points, while route optimization uses advanced algorithms to find the most efficient sequence and combination of stops across your fleet. Optimization considers multiple variables like traffic, time windows, and vehicle constraints to minimize cost and maximize deliveries, whereas basic planning does not.
