Original plan — more distance, longer travel, overtime and unused capacity
Nodali Routes
Smarter planning for routes, people and costs
Nodali Routes is being designed to find a feasible, economical plan based on addresses, time windows, job duration, worker capabilities, priorities and operating costs.
Illustrative concept for the product in preparation
Plan work, not just the order of addresses
Navigation solves a trip to one destination. Operational planning must assign visits across multiple workers and vehicles while ensuring that the result is feasible.
- Different start and end locations
- Time windows, job duration and breaks
- Skills, authorisations, capacity and equipment
- Priorities, SLA and dependencies
- Cost of time, distance and overtime
Different planning modes
- Plan the next day or week
- Optimise an existing plan
- Insert a new ad hoc job
- Emergency dispatch from actual position
- Partially reschedule during the day
Explainable proposals
A proposal should not be a black box. The dispatcher should see the reason for a choice and its operational impact.
- Why a worker was selected
- Expected arrival time
- Change in distance and travel time
- Expected additional cost
- Impact on other visits and SLA risk
Plan versus actual
- Planned and actual arrival
- Planned and actual job duration
- Distance, waiting and idle time
- Costs outside the original plan
- Improved future estimates from history
Open planning architecture
Nodali can work with its own planning layer, an external solver, a customer’s existing planning system, or only as the orchestration and execution layer. The concrete setup will be validated in the pilot.
Data sources and integrations
- CRM and ERP
- Service system or customer portal
- Form, CSV or API
- Manual dispatcher entry
Illustrative comparison
Proposed plan — shorter route, less waiting, better utilisation and lower expected cost
What the pilot will assess
Worker and visit volumes, current planning method, urgent jobs, the CRM or ERP in use and the biggest problem in today’s process.
Pilot programme
Let us assess your operation together
We are looking for pilot partners with field teams. Briefly describe your current operation and we will assess whether the pilot is a good fit.
One platform from planning to execution
Routes prepares the plan, Dispatch manages changes and Go guides each worker through every visit.
