• Enhanced customer satisfaction: Timely deliveries better customer trust and satisfaction, leading to repeat business.
• Increased productivity: Efficient routing allows drivers to complete more in less time, boosting overall productivity.

Key factors in route optimisation

• Traffic conditions: Real-time data can help in adjusting routes dynamically.
• Vehicle capabilities: Understanding the limitations and capabilities of each truck is crucial for effective planning.
