AI Route Optimization

Automatically assign deliveries to the fastest driver, reduce delivery times, and process more orders without adding drivers or overhead.

Automated Routing

What Does Route Optimization Do?

WebJoint removes manual dispatch decisions. Every order is evaluated and assigned automatically based on which driver can complete the delivery the fastest. No dispatcher intervention required.

Orders are automatically assigned in real time
The system evaluates active drivers and routes
Each order goes to the driver who can reach the drop-off fastest
Teams move more orders with the same number of drivers
Zone Routing

How Does Zone-Based Routing Work?

Multiple drivers can be assigned to the same delivery zone. When a new order comes in, the system evaluates all eligible drivers in that zone and assigns the order to the fastest available driver.

This eliminates manual dispatching and reduces wasted miles. Dispatchers no longer need to guess which driver is closest or has the lightest load.

1

New order enters the system

A customer places a delivery order within a covered zone.

2

System evaluates active drivers

All on-duty drivers assigned to that zone are evaluated based on proximity and current route.

3

Order assigned to fastest driver

The driver who can reach the customer fastest receives the assignment automatically.

Smart Insertion

How Are New Orders Added to Active Routes?

When a new order comes in while a driver is already on a route, the system evaluates the driver's current path and active deliveries. If the new order falls along that path, it is intelligently inserted into the route.

This minimizes detours and keeps routes tight. Drivers complete more deliveries per shift without backtracking or unnecessary mileage.

Tighter Routes

Faster Deliveries

Better Utilization

More orders completed per driver per shift
Reduced idle time between deliveries
Lower fuel costs from shorter routes
Smoother performance during peak hours
Fewer late deliveries
Capacity

Can You Process More Orders Without Adding Drivers?

Yes. By assigning orders to the closest available driver and inserting new stops into active routes, WebJoint increases the number of deliveries each driver can complete per shift.

This directly reduces idle time, fuel costs, and the need to hire additional drivers. Peak hours run smoother because the system distributes orders evenly across all active drivers.

Operations

Built for Real Delivery Operations

Route optimization works within the operational constraints your team already uses. It does not require changing how you set up zones, vehicles, or driver assignments.

Respects delivery zones: Drivers only receive orders for zones they are assigned to.
Works with vehicle and driver assignments: Route optimization respects the shift and zone structure set up in Vehicle Management.
Adapts as drivers go on or off duty: The system rebalances order assignments automatically when driver availability changes.
Updates as new orders enter the system: Every incoming order is evaluated against the current state of all active routes.

How it fits together

Zones define where drivers deliver
Vehicle Management assigns drivers to zones
Route optimization assigns orders to drivers
The Fleet App delivers the order
