How QDS Routes Works
From a list of stops to optimized, driver-ready routes — see how our purpose-built engine plans the fastest way to deliver.
Smarter routes in three simple steps
Upload your stops, let our engine optimize, and dispatch finished routes to your drivers — no manual planning required.
Upload stops
Optimize routes
Dispatch to drivers
25-35%
Lower operating costs
15-20%
Fewer miles driven
Up to 2x
More deliveries per vehicle
Under the hood
A closer look at the technology that turns your delivery data into efficient, real-world routes.
Purpose-built optimization engine
A solver designed specifically for vehicle routing finds high-quality solutions across thousands of possible route combinations in seconds.
Objectives you control
Balance total distance, travel time, vehicle count, and cost to match the goals that matter most to your operation.
Real-world constraints
Every route respects time windows, vehicle capacity, driver breaks, and depot rules — so plans are ready to run, not just on paper.
Self-hosted infrastructure
We run our own routing and mapping infrastructure, so your data stays private and performance stays fast and predictable.
Built on real road distances
We route on actual road networks — not straight lines — so your estimates reflect how vehicles really drive.
Self-hosted routing
Our own routing engine keeps your location data private and avoids per-request fees from third-party APIs.
Actual driving distances
Travel times and distances follow real roads, turns, and speeds — not simple point-to-point estimates.
No usage limits
Plan as many routes and stops as you need without rate limits or surprise overage charges.
Coverage where you operate
Detailed road network data spanning the regions your fleet serves, kept current as your operation grows.
The optimization process, step by step
Input your delivery data
Add your stops, vehicles, depots, and constraints — by upload, import, or API.
Geocode every address
Each address is converted to precise coordinates so stops can be placed accurately on the map.
Build the distance matrix
We calculate real road distances and travel times between every pair of stops.
Run the optimization
The engine assigns stops to vehicles and sequences them to minimize cost while honoring every constraint.
Get driver-ready routes
Receive optimized routes with turn-by-turn order, timing, and totals, ready to dispatch to your drivers.
Constraints we support
Time windows
Deliver within each customer's required time slot.
Vehicle capacity
Respect weight, volume, and unit limits for every vehicle.
Driver breaks
Schedule mandatory rest and meal breaks into each route.
Service time
Account for the time spent loading and unloading at each stop.
Multiple depots
Start and end routes from the right depot or warehouse.
Pickup and delivery
Pair pickups with their drop-offs in the correct order.
