The travelling salesman problem, explained for dispatchers
Why ordering 20 deliveries is an « NP-hard » mathematical puzzle — and how heuristics like 2-opt (Croes, 1958) solve in seconds what no human can compute in their head.
Read articleCutting delivery costs with route optimization
The last mile accounts for up to 41% of supply-chain costs (Capgemini Research Institute). Here are the concrete levers — 2-opt heuristic, geographic clustering, time windows — to win back part of that margin, even as an SME.
Read articleDelivery windows: how time slots transform your routes
The last mile accounts for up to 41% of logistics costs (Capgemini). Done right, time windows cut both kilometres and failed deliveries. Here's how to use them without rigidifying your routes.
Read article2-opt, clustering, insertion: optimisation heuristics decoded
Because the routing problem is NP-hard, you don't optimise by brute force but with heuristics. A simple breakdown of three methods that power your dispatch: clustering, 2-opt and insertion.
Read articleReal-time route recalculation: handling the unexpected in dispatch
An urgent order, an absent customer, a traffic jam: the morning route never survives the day intact. How dynamic recalculation turns the unexpected into a simple adjustment.
