With Upper Route Planner, you must import stops into your route plan and set all the priorities. Upper will get you optimized routes in a fraction of a second.
Here is how you can optimize routes on Upper:
Upper Route Planner considers many parameters while planning routes, such as avoidance zones, traffic flows, driver preferences, and stop priorities. Considering all those factors, Upper optimizes the most accurate route to perform deliveries efficiently in less time.
Yes, you can make changes to your route plan anytime as per your need. You can add, edit, and delete any stop, even after optimization. To make changes in the optimized route, you can:
A multi-stop selector tool allows users to select and manage multiple stops together easily. It enables users to group stops for reassignment to another driver or route. This can save time and effort when dealing with multiple stops and provides a convenient way to edit or reassign stops in a streamlined manner.
The swap route functionality is useful when you want to swap a pre-planned route internally between your drivers.
For instance, let’s say you have 3 drivers in your team, and they have scheduled delivery on the 7th date of the month. On the previous day, one of the drivers informs you that he won’t be available to make delivery. In this scenario, you can quickly swap the route with the available drivers.
Swap routes can be useful when any assigned driver is not available due to any reason. So, you can swap that assigned route to another available driver.
For instance, you have 5 drivers working in your delivery crew. You have assigned routes to 3 drivers for performing pickups or deliveries, leaving 2 drivers with no assigned routes. Now, in case one of your assigned drivers is unavailable due to any reason, you can quickly swap routes with the remaining driver, who has no task at the moment.
To reverse the route plan, switch to the Upper’s timeline module and follow the steps below.
Reverse route plan is useful when your driver needs to travel from the last point to starting point or depot, or when a driver wants to return to the origin of the route after completing all the deliveries. You don’t need to replan the entire route from scratch with the reverse route.
Here’s one scenario, reverse route functionality helps in planning routes for waste collection trucks to efficiently collect waste from customer locations and return it to the waste processing facilities.
Drag & drop stops is the easiest way to rearrange the stop’s order manually. After optimizing the route, if you want to make any changes in the sequence of stops, just drag & drop that stop to put it wherever in the route. So, you can easily rearrange the order of stops in a route to optimize it based on specific needs or constraints.
Suppose you are a meal kit delivery business owner, and you have planned a route with 10 stops in it. The estimated delivery time for the 5th stop is 1 PM, but due to any reason, they are expecting the delivery at 12 PM. So, with drag & drop functionality, you can rearrange the stop and put it before 3rd delivery to match the ETA with the customer’s expectations.
There are several reasons why you may want to use Upper’s route optimization over traditional route optimization methods:
