How bicycle couriers can use ROUTERRA for optimized route planning
Optimized route planning with Routerra. Time to check our boxed bicycle deliveries to remote areas. As we anecdotally seem to be getting more-and-more of. IE requests for remote deliveries. Which can easily be verified with sales data. And POD’s. But more on that later. Now for the optimized route planning. And we’re hitting a ceiling with the google maps max 10 waypoints limitation. Which is why we need to look further. Details below.
Problem?
I want to evaluate our regional boxed bicycle service delivery options. And I need to visualize the routes for a certain provider. But I can’t do so with google maps because google maps only allows 10 stops or waypoints. No matter what you do. So, the alternative is outside of google maps. Which means I want something that is preferably also free and works just as well. And here I find something that might even be better.
Solution!
Enter Routerra. Super easy to use. Double the number of waypoints compared to google maps. And that is on the free version. On the paid plan you can go up to the sky. They market themselves by saying that you can Plan 200 Delivery Stops in Minutes, Not Hours. And wow this was easy to use. What’s even better? You can even Import Stops From Anything. Ie Paste a list, upload a spreadsheet, or snap a photo of package labels. Our AI extracts every address automatically for any format of data.
