Field guide: Delivery Route Planner
Last-mile delivery economics live and die on stops per hour: a driver doing 12 drops/hour on a clean route beats one doing 9 on a tangled one by 25% on every cost line — fuel, wages, vehicle hours. This planner is the small-operator version of what the big carriers spend millions on: paste the day's drops, optimize, and hand the driver a run sheet with ETAs that customer-service can actually quote.
The defaults reflect delivery reality — 30 km/h urban average, 4 minutes per drop (parking, walking, handoff, photo), and a round trip back to the depot. ETAs compound both numbers across the run, which is why the run sheet shows where the afternoon actually goes. Export CSV for the driver's phone or GeoJSON to overlay on your coverage map. Customer addresses never leave the browser.
Field tips
- Time three real drops with a stopwatch and set service minutes honestly — it's the number that decides whether ETAs hold by 2 p.m.
- Put time-window deliveries first in the list order and optimize the rest after them; the solver keeps your first stop fixed.
- Track planned vs actual finish time for a week — the gap calibrates your speed setting better than any guess.

Frequently asked questions
How much time does route optimization actually save?+
Industry studies and academic work consistently find 10–30% distance reduction versus manual ordering, growing with stop count. For a 60 km delivery day that's 6–18 km and 20–45 minutes — every day. The savings concentrate in eliminating backtracking, which is exactly what 2-opt removes.
Can I set delivery time windows?+
Not as hard constraints — windowed routing is a different algorithm class. The practical workaround used by small operators: list hard-window stops early (the first stop stays fixed as your start), optimize the remainder, then nudge the export order if one window still pinches. For a handful of windows it works well.
What service time should I use per drop?+
Measured reality beats wishes: residential doorstep drops run 3–5 minutes including parking; signature/ID deliveries 5–8; apartment buildings with buzzers 6–10. If your day has mixed types, use the weighted average — or split the day into two routes by type.
Does this work for bike or scooter delivery?+
Yes — set the speed accordingly (e-bike ~18 km/h urban door-to-door, scooter ~25) and service time drops too (no parking hunt). Straight-line ordering actually favors two-wheelers more, since they take cut-throughs cars can't.
