Route optimization is the process of determining the most efficient paths for vehicles or deliveries to minimize distance, time, or cost while meeting constraints like delivery windows and vehicle capacity. It relies on algorithms (such as variants of the traveling salesman and vehicle routing problems) and is used heavily by logistics companies, delivery services, and fleet managers via software like Route4Me or OptimoRoute. Skilled practitioners combine operations research knowledge with GIS and software tools to reduce fuel costs and improve delivery times.
