Multi-Driver Optimization

One click to optimize routes across your entire fleet

Upload your delivery addresses, set your constraints, and let our algorithm do the rest. Locate2u distributes stops across available drivers, sequences each route for minimum travel time, and balances workloads -- all in seconds.

  • Optimize routes for 1 to 500+ stops per driver
  • Automatic workload balancing across multiple drivers
  • Traffic-aware routing using real-time and historical data
  • CSV, API, and Shopify import for bulk stop uploads

Flexible Scheduling

Drag, drop, and adjust routes on the fly

Plans change. New stops come in, customers reschedule, drivers call in sick. Locate2u's visual schedule builder lets dispatchers drag and drop stops between routes, add new deliveries mid-day, and instantly see how changes affect timing and workload.

  • Visual drag-and-drop route editor
  • Add or remove stops without rebuilding the entire route
  • Instant ETA recalculation as you move stops between drivers
  • Constraint-based planning with vehicle type, capacity, and skills

Route Planning Features

Everything you need to plan efficient routes

AI Optimization

Our algorithm finds the most efficient route sequence in seconds, reducing drive time by up to 37% on average.

Drag-and-Drop Editor

Visually adjust routes by dragging stops between drivers. See ETAs update in real time as you make changes.

Time Windows

Set delivery time windows, service durations, and break times. Routes are optimized to hit every window on schedule.

Vehicle Constraints

Account for vehicle type, weight capacity, and volume limits. Assign the right vehicle to the right route automatically.

Workload Balancing

Distribute stops evenly across drivers so no one is overloaded while others finish early. Balance by stops, time, or distance.

Bulk Import

Upload hundreds of stops via CSV, Excel, or API. Addresses are geocoded automatically and ready for optimization.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Route planning software is a tool that calculates the most efficient routes for delivery drivers or field service teams by factoring in stop locations, traffic conditions, time windows, and vehicle constraints. Locate2u's route planning app builds optimized multi-driver routes in seconds, replacing manual spreadsheet-based planning and reducing drive time by up to 37%.
Route planning refers to creating a sequence of stops for a driver to follow, while route optimization uses algorithms to find the most efficient order and assignment of those stops across multiple drivers. Locate2u combines both capabilities, letting you plan routes visually with drag-and-drop tools and then optimize them with AI to minimize total travel time and distance.
With Locate2u, optimized routes for an entire fleet can be generated in seconds, regardless of whether you have 20 or 500+ stops. Manual route planning typically takes 30 minutes to several hours depending on the number of deliveries. Importing stops via CSV or API and clicking optimize replaces that entire process with a single action.
Yes. Locate2u is built for multi-driver operations and automatically distributes stops across your available fleet based on driver location, vehicle capacity, skill requirements, and working hours. The workload balancing feature ensures no single driver is overloaded while others finish early, maximizing fleet efficiency.
Locate2u uses both real-time and historical traffic data to calculate accurate travel times and ETAs. Routes are optimized based on current road conditions, and the system can dynamically re-route drivers mid-day if traffic patterns change or road closures occur, ensuring deliveries stay on schedule.
Businesses using route optimization typically save 20% to 40% on fuel costs and increase deliveries per driver by 15% to 25%. Locate2u customers report average drive time reductions of 37%, which translates to significant savings in fuel, labor, and vehicle maintenance costs across their fleet each month.
