In this article, we&#8217;ll explain it in simple terms:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"imglist-3\">\n<li><a href=\"#route-planning-1\"><u>The benefits of efficient route planning<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#route-planning-2\"><u>The right route planning tools<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#route-planning-3\"><u>The data and steps you need to follow to automate and optimise your delivery route<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"summary-block\">An <strong>optimised route plan<\/strong> is the key to successful delivery. For hauliers and delivery drivers, efficient <strong>delivery planning<\/strong> is the guarantee of saving time and improving the customer experience.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"route-planning-1\"><span id=\"What_would_you_gain_by_optimising_your_route_planning\">What would you gain by optimising your route planning?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your days are busy with <a href=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/en\/solutions\/how-to-optimise-the-delivery-of-large-parcels\/\"><u>deliveries of large parcels<\/u><\/a> for a furniture company, small courier parcels or express deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>Some will be <strong>handed to the customer at home<\/strong>, while others will be delivered to letterboxes or <strong>drop-off points<\/strong>. UA small percentage of these deliveries will have to be rescheduled for the next day, due to the absence of customers.<\/p>\n<p>You also have to manage the absence of one of your delivery drivers at short notice. You do your best to manage these emergencies, the unexpected and sudden peaks in activity, and you don&#8217;t really have the time to think about rethinking your organisation.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Planning_route_to_save_time_and_optimise_your_resources\">Planning route to save time and optimise your resources<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot to be gained from optimising your delivery planning. You could save time, but also money. It could even help you reduce CO2 emissions, as more and more freight carriers are asking you to do.<\/p>\n<p>And how is this possible?<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s possible because, by planning your routes, you can make better use of the resources available. In practical terms, this means:<\/p>\n<ol id=\"imglist\">\n<li><strong>Optimised routes and therefore fewer miles travelled<\/strong> &#8211; The result: lower fuel costs, lower vehicle maintenance costs and lower CO2 emissions. By reducing the number of stops and detours, your delivery drivers are also able to deliver more parcels in the same amount of time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Routes planned according to the capacity of your vehicles and the desired delivery sequencing<\/strong> &#8211; Result: higher vehicle occupancy rates, better-ordered parcels which are delivered more quickly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Better organised routes and easier work for your delivery staff<\/strong> &#8211; The result: greater staff loyalty and lower turnover and mental workload. It&#8217;s also possible to calculate the most suitable delivery method, to help you choose more eco-friendly transport options.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span id=\"Optimised_planning_to_improve_the_customer_experience\">Optimised planning to improve the customer experience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your customers themselves will see this as a source of satisfaction.<br \/>\nPlanning and optimising your routes will enable you to meet your delivery deadlines more efficiently and improve the quality of your customer service. By grouping deliveries according to geographic area, and taking into account the specific constraints of your customers (opening hours, delivery preferences, etc.), you will be able to:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"imglist\">\n<li>reduce delays,<\/li>\n<li>meet customer expectations more effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_59570\" style=\"width: 1710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59570\" class=\"wp-image-59570\" src=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/route-planning-antsroute-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1700\" height=\"917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/route-planning-antsroute-3.jpg 1990w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/route-planning-antsroute-3-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/route-planning-antsroute-3-1024x553.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/route-planning-antsroute-3-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/route-planning-antsroute-3-1536x829.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/route-planning-antsroute-3-260x140.jpg 260w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/route-planning-antsroute-3-50x27.jpg 50w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/route-planning-antsroute-3-139x75.jpg 139w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:1700px) 100vw, 1700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-59570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The route planning optimisation on AntsRoute.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"route-planning-2\"><span id=\"What_is_route_planning\">What is route planning?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>That&#8217;s the question you probably asked yourself when you started reading this article.

You will have to enter all the stops on your itinerary one by one, and they will just be added one after the other, without having the possibility to optimise the order.<\/p>\n<p>And what happens if your customers ask for specific delivery time slots or parcels to pick up on the way? And what if you absolutely have to find a way of reducing your costs?<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, you can use <strong>Excel spreadsheets to create more or less optimised routes<\/strong> that take these criteria into account.
