Note: The order in which zones are added to the route is not important as the route can be
optimized after all zones are added to ensure that the least distance is traveled.
Take a moment to customize your route by adding a description and optional comment.
For example, describe the customer’s which will be visited or the main roads that should
be driven.
Select the
Optimize
button to ensure that the shortest route will be chosen. This will
greatly help you save time and fuel for long routes.
When finished, select

from the top menu.
Route plans
When you have a route created, a route plan can then be created allowing you to
examine how a driven route compares defined route. The route plan consists of your
route, timeframe for completion and a specific driver. When used in combination with
one another, the route plan comparison is a powerful way to highlight where and when a
driver unexpectedly spent time or has made unplanned stops.
Navigate to an existing route that has been created or follow the previous steps to create
a new route. Select
Create plan
from the top menu to create a route plan.
Assign a specific vehicle to the route plan by selecting one from the drop down list.
The
Zones organizer
lists each zones part of the zone plan. Estimated times based on
the distance between each zone will be given. Based your business requirement, you can
adjust the times between each zone to account for deliveries, customer visits or other
actions the driver will perform. When finished, select
Save
from the top menu.
