Route Optimization is the process of determining the most efficient route on which a vehicle can travel to get to a series of points. Although the distance between each point is important, it is not the only factor. Other considerations include the number of stops and turns along a given path, traffic conditions (which can vary based on time of day), and the availability of both drivers and vehicles in relation to the route’s starting point. As the number of vehicles in a scenario increases, so too does the complexity of the optimization. In fact, the optimization of routes for a fleet of vehicles is known as the “vehicle routing problem” (VRP), and has been studied and theorized upon by mathematicians and programmers throughout the academic world.

Antei’s Intelligent Route Planner (IRP) application brings award-winning route optimization to Dynamics. Utilizing record-breaking algorithms, IRP groups your shipments together and generates routes that allow you to make your deliveries in the most cost-effective manner possible.

If you maintain your own fleet of trucks, bcFood’s partnership with Antei will allow you to take advantage of what is truly the pre-eminent route planning tool today.
