What are orders?
Orders in OptimoRoute represent the individual stops that need to be completed during a route. These can be a service, delivery, or pickup task.
Each order typically includes:
- A location (address or coordinates)
- Optional details like time windows, service duration, priority, or special requirements
Orders are the core input for route planning. OptimoRoute takes your orders, along with drivers and constraints, and assigns them to optimized routes.
Adding orders
There are three ways to add orders:
- Add orders individually
- Import orders using a spreadsheet
- Import orders by copying and pasting a list of addresses
