Tailor-made trip planning
Available from any computer, smartphone or tablet, our planning tool includes all the information you need… and much more!

Optimum assignment of deliveries
But our software goes much further than a simple online trucker trip planner! Using powerful algorithms, AntsRoute optimises the workforce and material resources of the company according to a number of parameters:

- Maximum delivery date
- Pooling of available loading space
- Possible sectorisation of drivers or vehicles, etc.
With AntsRoute, you can reduce journey times and the number of miles travelled while delivering more customers!

Frequently asked questions
As you may have noticed, planning your trucker trips with Google Calendar takes up a huge amount of your time! By switching to AntsRoute, most of our customers save a considerable amount of time on the planning stage itself.
But most importantly, our delivery management software calculates for each task the best option for covering the minimum number of miles while complying with your specifications. And it’s not necessarily the solution you would have thought of first…
Let’s say you have to carry 125 parcels of shoes and 73 parcels of clothing for a customer within 4 days. The software will automatically compare all the possible configurations to see whether it’s best to ship them:
- Together or separately, with other goods.
- With what type of vehicle.
- By which driver.
- At what time, etc.
AntsRoute also notifies the client as soon as the delivery is planned, and even sends proof of passage directly to the client.
In fact, the two tools provide such different services that some of our users continue to use Google Calendar while synchronising it with AntsRoute!
Of course we do. In fact, it’s a situation with which we are very familiar. We invite you to read the Tech Express testimonial published on our website. This customer, who specialises in the transport of bulky goods, is in a similar situation to you.
Here are the different ways of making appointments that AntsRoute can handle at the same time:
- On incoming or outgoing calls.
- From data compiled in an Excel or Google Sheets spreadsheet.
- From an application connected to AntsRoute via our API.
- From external software.
- From an online appointment scheduling platform, etc.
In addition to the various planning modes, our software can also handle a wide range of specific constraints, such as night shifts, if you need to deliver to supermarkets before they open, for example.
To find out more, please contact our customer service team, who will determine the technical solutions best suited to your business on a case-by-case basis.
A transport plan is a strategic document that lists all your company’s goods flows, whether carried out in-house or outsourced to a logistics provider.
For each type of trip, the plan specifies the best available solution for getting goods from point A to point B.
The objective of a transport schedule is much more concrete and “operational”. This document, which takes the form of a calendar, will enable the most efficient possible assignment of the tasks to be carried out, by associating with each journey :
- A driver
- A vehicle
- Departure and finishing times.
To find out more, please read our article on the transport planning. You’ll find out more about the information contained in the transport plan, as well as the steps to follow to draw up your own.
