Most expensive mistakes
- Planning route by route without fleet-wide view.
- Ignoring customer time windows.
- Not considering real vehicle capacity.
- Not replanning for urgent orders.
- Depending on one person with no backup.
How to avoid them
Most of these mistakes come from planning without a fleet-wide view: each route is decided separately instead of optimizing the whole fleet at once.
A VRP solver builds in capacity, time windows and last-minute changes as constraints, and removes the dependency on a single person to plan every day.
