Route planning battle-tested in the field
The Tour Planner is a route optimisation tool that helps companies plan and refine deliveries. By factoring in traffic, weather and delivery priorities it keeps routes efficient and cost-effective. Real-time updates and notifications let teams track every drop-off and stay reliable.
Dispatch sets the goals, AI optimises stop order, driver apps feed back live status. Fleets save time while hitting service levels.
Used across courier services, spare parts logistics and prefab deliveries.

Tours must keep running without network coverage.
