𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐋𝐚𝐛 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 We're excited to announce the launch of our new route planning #agent, powered by the FastVRP route optimisation API. Our route planning agent works like a co-pilot you can talk to. Instead of manually building routes by clicking through complex interfaces, you simply describe what you need in plain text: → "Optimise for lowest cost" → "What if we add 10 more stops?" → "Should we hire another driver?" The agent instantly evaluates the #routing scenarios, explains trade-offs, and provides follow-up suggestions. This takes planning from hours to minutes, with just a single conversation. A day of planning work. Done in minutes. Book your demo now at https://routinglab.tech.

We have spent the past few weeks diving deep into EU and US regulations on #driver #break planning. Based on that reading we have now implemented fully compliant EU and US break planning for work and drive time regulations inside our routing solver. Ready to optimise your #routing?

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗩𝗥𝗣 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀: 🧩 Vehicle-task restrictions. You can now specify per task which vehicle(s) must be used to service that task, or which vehicles must absolutely not be used. This lets you assign drivers to familiar areas and tasks, or can be used to ensure the right vehicles are used for the right task. ⏰ Setup durations at new locations. These can for example be used to model the time it takes to park once at a building before delivering a number of parcels there. Setup is incurred only once per location. 🗺️ Custom routing profiles, which can be used to specify your own distances and durations for vehicle types FastVRP does not yet know about. 🪝 Webhooks for job status changes and real-time solve progress updates. This lets you observe newly found solutions in real-time during the optimisation run. Ready to optimise your #routing with FastVRP? Get in touch at https://routinglab.tech/.

𝗣𝘆𝗩𝗥𝗣 𝘃𝟬.𝟭𝟯 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲: 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻-𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲-𝗼𝗳-𝘁𝗵𝗲-𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗩𝗥𝗣 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 Happy new year! We are excited to announce the release of PyVRP version 0.13, which adds support for: 🚀 Warm-starting from initial solutions; 🚚 Depot loading times; ⚡ Better performance on larger instances. We did a complete overhaul of the internal algorithmics by replacing our hybrid genetic search implementation with an iterated local search. This enables PyVRP to solve larger instances much faster than before, as can be seen in the figure below, benchmarking against the previous release on the well-known Gehring and Homberger instances with a runtime of just one minute and one core. PyVRP version 0.13 is now available on the Python package index and we have also updated FastVRP, our routing API, to use it. Curious about FastVRP? Please consider joining our wait list at https://routinglab.tech/ to be notified when we leave beta. Do not hesitate to contact us if you want to learn more about RoutingLab's products and services!

𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗩𝗥𝗣 - 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁-𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗣𝗜 We're excited to announce the launch of FastVRP - a next-generation route optimisation API built by RoutingLab. Over the past three years, we've been building PyVRP, our open-source vehicle routing problem solver. Now, we're taking the next step by bringing its state-of-the-art capabilities to a fully featured API. Built for real-world vehicle routing applications, FastVRP offers high-performance route optimisation through an easy-to-use and production-ready API. FastVRP directly integrates with distance and travel time data from OpenStreetMap, and we also provide dedicated support to solve your complex routing problems - so you can deliver to your customers faster! Interested? Join the waitlist now at https://routinglab.tech or have a look at https://lnkd.in/e4j4htj7 to see what FastVRP can do. We’ll be gradually providing access to users as we continue to extend FastVRP to solve more complex routing problems. Stay tuned!
