Turn Manual Dispatching Into Structured, Rule-Based Route Planning

The Route Planning Module is built to turn routing from a manual, fragile process into a repeatable system. Instead of dispatchers drawing routes in maps and adjusting them by hand, this module creates structured, rule-driven route plans based on real operational data.

Its goal is to give logistics teams full control over how routes are built, adjusted, and executed. It connects real-world constraints with real-world decisions, so planning becomes predictable, scalable, and aligned with business priorities.

What Better Route Planning Changes in Daily Operations

Consistent route logic

Routes are built using defined business rules instead of ad-hoc judgment.

Improved dispatch efficiency

Planning time drops as repetitive decisions become automated.

Better resource utilization

Vehicles and drivers are matched to routes more accurately.

Dynamic response to changes

Routes can be adjusted as conditions evolve without breaking the entire plan.

Clean foundation for optimization

The module serves as the base for load planning and route optimization engines.

Technical Information

The Route Planning Module operates as an independent service inside the TwinCore framework.

Architecture

Built as a standalone backend service with a clear routing domain model
Stateless APIs for route generation, updates, and simulations
Event-based communication with drivers, vehicles, and orders modules
Support for synchronous and asynchronous planning workflows

Core Data Model

Route entities with ordered stops and timing estimates
Time windows, service durations, and dwell times
Driver and vehicle capability constraints
Depot, hub, and zone definitions
Real-time traffic and external data overlays

Integration Patterns

The module is commonly integrated with:

Drivers Module. To align routes with driver availability, qualifications, and restrictions.
Vehicles Module. To ensure routes respect vehicle capacity and technical constraints.
Order Management. To pull live order data and inject stop changes.
Telematics and traffic APIs. To improve ETA accuracy and decision-making during execution.

Security & Controls

Role-based permissions for planners and dispatch teams
Full audit tracking for route changes
Versioning of route plans for post-operation analysis

Use Cases

High-density delivery networks

Businesses handling dozens or hundreds of daily stops use the module to create consistent, optimized daily plans without manual route building.

Multi-depot operations

Organizations with multiple hubs rely on the module to separate and manage regional route logic cleanly.

Time-critical services

Companies operating with strict delivery windows use the module to balance speed, reliability, and resource availability.

Rapidly changing environments

Same-day delivery and on-demand services benefit from real-time route adjustment when conditions shift.

The Route Planning Module becomes the operational backbone for dispatch. It connects real constraints with real execution and removes guesswork from daily planning.

If you want routing logic that reflects how your business actually runs, we can help you design and build it as part of the TwinCore framework.
