Route planning capabilities
Appointments, travel and on-site work all consume the working day. Supply each resource's availability and each stop's timing requirements so the engine can evaluate them together. Contact us to confirm generation availability and integrations for your workspace.
The operational problem
A visit window tells the planner when a stop can be scheduled. Service duration describes how long the work takes. A tour's work window describes when the resource can operate.
Product capability
Use actual dates, times and offsets. Include unavailable periods for vehicles and people, and breaks in tour work windows. The overall planning horizon does not automatically define each tour's shift. Service must fit wholly inside a working interval. Driving can pause for a break or overnight rest and resume in the next working interval. Define required breaks and limits explicitly; this is not an automatic legal-compliance check.
Practical workflow
Supply locations, service durations, visit windows and resource requirements.
Specify vehicles, assigned people, start locations and dated working periods.
Include consistent capacity units, eligibility and stop order where needed.
When generation is enabled, inspect assignments and estimates, including any work left unassigned.
Operational benefits
In practice
A 60-minute service and 20 minutes of travel consume 80 minutes before any additional waiting or breaks. This is illustrative arithmetic, not a computed route or a promise that every window combination is feasible.
Questions
Yes. Stops can have supplied time windows, and tours have dated work windows. Include service duration and travel requirements as well so the model reflects the time the work actually needs.
Yes. Service duration is supplied for each task stop. A short inspection and a longer repair can therefore consume different amounts of the available working period.
The request supports breaks in tour work windows and unavailable periods for resources. These are explicit planning inputs. They should not be described as a complete legal working-time or employee-roster compliance system.
Yes. A tour can have several dated work windows within the planning horizon. This can model multi-day service or inspection work with one vehicle and its assigned people.
