Stop drawing routes by hand. Save 6 hours a day.
Your dispatcher spends two hours every morning with a map and a highlighter. FlowRoute generates optimized routes in 60 seconds.
THREE PROBLEMS WITH THE HIGHLIGHTER METHOD
THE MAP-AND-HIGHLIGHTER METHOD
Paper map on the wall. 50 unit stickers. Move them around. Try to remember which driver knows which neighborhood. Hope for the best.
THE 'WHO GETS THE BAD ROUTE' PROBLEM
One driver gets 12 tight stops. Another gets 8 spread across 40 miles. Resentment builds. Turnover follows.
THE FORGOTTEN UNIT
Unit at the edge of the service area gets skipped 'just this week.' Then again. Then it's lost.
CLUSTER. SEQUENCE. BALANCE. DISPATCH.
Drop your units. FlowRoute does the rest in under a minute — even for 500-stop weeks.
K-MEANS CLUSTERING
Groups units geographically. No human bias.
TSP DRIVE-TIME
Shortest drive time, not just distance.
WORKLOAD BALANCING
Stops distributed by capacity & shift length.
DRIVER ZONES
Lock neighborhoods to familiar drivers.

LESS DRIVE TIME, MORE UNITS, HAPPIER DRIVERS
"I used to spend 2 hours every morning on routes. Now I review what FlowRoute generated, make one or two tweaks, and publish. 15 minutes total."
"My drivers stopped complaining about uneven routes within a week. Workload balancing did more for retention than the raise I gave the year before."
WHAT DISPATCHERS ASK BEFORE SWITCHING
Q.01WHAT ALGORITHM DO YOU USE?+
K-means clustering to group units geographically, then Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) optimization within each cluster to minimize drive time. Workload balancing is layered on top using truck capacity and shift constraints.
Q.02CAN I OVERRIDE THE SUGGESTED ROUTE?+
Always. Dispatchers can drag-and-drop stops, lock specific sequences, or pin priority customers. FlowRoute re-optimizes around your constraints.
Q.03DOES IT ACCOUNT FOR TRAFFIC?+
Yes — we use live Google Maps traffic data for drive-time estimates. Routes generated in the morning reflect the actual traffic your drivers will hit.
Q.04WHAT ABOUT DRIVER PREFERENCES?+
Assign neighborhoods to specific drivers, lock recurring customers to specific routes, and FlowRoute optimizes within those constraints. Drivers keep their familiar zones.
