Route Optimisation

Route optimisation software helps logistics managers to plan the most efficient run for their drivers. Route optimisation software takes all stops into account to plan the fastest and most fuel-efficient route.

Optimising your delivery routes in Stream is as simple as loading all of the stops onto your run and then clicking the ‘Optimise’ button. This will then plot the stops into the most efficient sequence, helping you reduce your driver’s total mileage and time spent out on the road.

Yes! Driver breaks can be added manually to a run in Stream, alternatively, you can set up automatic driver breaks, which will create a new break on the run after each specified time duration has passed and will last for a duration that you can specify.

Yes! It is possible to optimise routes in Stream for runs that span multiple days. You can make use of the Driver Breaks feature to plan overnight stops for drivers within the run, with deliveries and collections then pushed to resume the following day.

Route optimisation plays a key role in decarbonisation, and helping businesses cut their fleet’s carbon emissions by finding the most efficient route between delivery and collection stops, minimising the distance a vehicle has to travel and therefore the amount of fuel consumed.

The UK Government has urged businesses to take action to reduce emissions to contribute to the UK-wide net zero by 2050 target, and by adopting carbon reduction policies businesses can play their part in helping to achieve it. Carbon reduction policies show a duty of responsibility to tackling air pollution, carbon emissions, and global warming, and the wider impact they have on the environment and society.
