Route Planning and Optimisation

Our route planning and optimisation services are not just about finding the shortest path. They include comprehensive strategic and operational analysis and balancing workloads to maximise the efficient use of resources. Savings of 10% to 15% are typical and can be much more. We work with a diverse range of clients from those running a handful of vehicles up to those in national and global logistics.

In defining our services, we make a distinction between High-Density and Low-Density routes

High-density routes involve thousands of service points that need to be visited door-to-door, day-to-day and street-by-street. They are typified by Public Works or environmental services (refuse and recycling collection, street cleaning, gritting, snowploughing, gulley emptying and highway asset surveys); postal and, in some countries, newspaper delivery services; and utility meter reading. The solution is RouteSmart, the world leading software application for which Integrated Skills is the authorised distributor in the UK, Ireland and the Middle East.

RouteSmart services are available on a consultancy service or the software can be purchased together with training, coaching and support. To find out more, visit Integrated Skills' dedicated RouteSmart website.

Low-density routes cover those involving a handful of service points up to a hundred or so.
