OnTerra Systems Announces New 2023 RouteSavvy Engine That Offers Faster Processing of Optimized Routes & Automated, Multi-vehicle Optimization

October 2023: RouteSavvy NewsFlash – OnTerra Systems (www.OnTerraSystems.com), the developers of RouteSavvy route planning software, today introduced a new 2023 RouteSavvy engine and automated, multi-vehicle optimization in RouteSavvy route optimization software. This new release is a beta version of multi-vehicle optimization for customers & prospects to test drive and provide feedback to the OnTerra team. For this beta period, RouteSavvy will allow five optimized multi-vehicle routes per day, accommodating up to 20 vehicles in a fleet.

RouteSavvy has offered multi-vehicle route optimization up till now. However, the game changer of this enhanced functionality is that RouteSavvy now has automated, multi-vehicle optimization. With new automated multi-vehicle optimization, fleet managers in charge of planning deliveries, pick-ups, service calls, or sales calls can upload the addresses and, with one click, RouteSavvy automatically will generate more efficient routes for the multiple vehicles for business or non-profit fleets. This new 2023 RouteSavvy engine generates automated route balancing. RouteSavvy will review all the stops for the day, and generate efficient routes that are evenly balanced with the same approximate time for completion of the day’s work for the vehicles in the fleet.

The new RouteSavvy Online end user software includes the following enhancements:
• RouteSavvy is now up to 30% faster in optimizing routes.
• RouteSavvy now offers advanced handling of bad addresses on routes.
• Routes generated by RouteSavvy can accommodate up to 300 stops, and 20 vehicles per optimization.
• Multi-vehicle optimizations & advanced route balancing among the vehicles in the fleet is now available.

New 2023 RouteSavvy Engine Features Three New Parameters for Multi-Vehicle Optimization

 

Thanks to the new route optimization engine incorporated into RouteSavvy route planning software, there are three key new settings for automated multi-vehicle route optimization:
Driver’s Availability: RouteSavvy now can factor in start and end work times for drivers for use with multi-vehicle route optimizations. If all the stops on the route cannot be completed within the driver’s availability, then those extra stops will automatically be placed in the “un-routable” folder.
Number of Vehicles: RouteSavvy now can optimize routes for up to 20 different vehicles. This function also can be used to optimize routes for one driver over multiple days of routing.
Minimum Vehicles / Routes Calculator: RouteSavvy now can calculate the minimum number of vehicles and routes that will be needed for a specific number of stops. For example, if a business or non-profit has five vehicles, but the stops (deliveries, pick-ups, service calls, or sales calls) can be completed with the use of only three vehicles, RouteSavvy automatically will optimize three routes instead of five.

Additional New Miscellaneous RouteSavvy Functions

 

New Option for “Optimize All Routes”: This new function reviews all existing routes and re-optimizes and/or rebalances all stops across existing routes.
Identification of Un-routed Stops & User Warnings Functions: If there are any locations which are un-routable because of bad addresses or unavailability of drivers, those route locations will automatically be placed in the Un-routed Stops folder. This allows users to easily review problematic addresses or routes in one handy location, and then resolve them.
Enhanced Logging Function for Faster Troubleshooting: The new 2023 RouteSavvy engine provides for improved logging of optimization requests and RouteSavvy Mobile App functions. This allows for better tracing of issues with specific stops (deliveries, pickups, service calls, or sales calls).

“Automated multi-vehicle route optimization is powerful new functionality for fleet managers to use,” said Steve Milroy, OnTerra Systems president. “This new functionality makes the process of assigning routes much faster & more efficient. RouteSavvy takes the guesswork out of how to organize the week’s deliveries, pick-ups, service calls & sales call – with just one click.”

RouteSavvy API Enhancements In The Works, Too

The OnTerra Systems development team also is working on significant enhancements to the RouteSavvy Application Program Interface (API). The new, pending RouteSavvy API is used by software developers who want to incorporate route optimization into software applications they are developing. New API developments include expanded, automated multi-route optimization functionality and time windows for stop time scheduling.
