Efficient stop sequencing
Stops are sequenced to minimise backtracking and travel time, so more of the day is spent at the outlet, not between them.
Use case
Serve more outlets per vehicle, with less fuel and time.
Sequence stops efficiently, balance workloads across vehicles and reps, and track routes live — so each vehicle covers more of its potential every day.

In short
SalesPort route optimisation sequences stops efficiently, balances workloads across vehicles and reps, and tracks routes live with GPS — so each vehicle and rep covers more of its potential, fuel and travel time fall, and coverage rises without adding fleet.
Why routes waste capacity
Routes built on habit waste capacity: vehicles backtrack, workloads are unbalanced, and a vehicle that could serve 25 outlets serves a fraction of that — burning fuel and time on travel instead of selling and delivering. Without optimisation and live tracking, the waste is invisible.
Every inefficient route is throughput and margin left on the table, multiplied across the fleet and the year.

The specific workflows and screens that solve it.
2
Balanced workloads
Workloads are balanced across vehicles and reps, so no route is overloaded while another runs light.
3
Live GPS tracking
Routes are tracked live against plan, so deviations and idle time surface immediately.
4
Coverage uplift
More efficient routes mean more outlets served per vehicle per day — coverage rises without adding fleet or headcount.
5
Fuel & time savings
Less backtracking means lower fuel cost and more selling time, a direct, measurable saving.
What optimised routes are worth
Lifting outlets served per vehicle while cutting fuel and idle time is a double saving — more revenue from the same fleet, at lower cost per drop. Across a fleet running every working day, the annual impact is substantial. Model it with the van-sales calculator.

Route Optimization — FAQs
Does it work for both delivery and van sales?
Yes — efficient sequencing and balanced workloads apply to delivery routes and direct van-sales beats alike.
How does it save fuel?
By minimising backtracking and idle travel, so vehicles spend more time at outlets and less on the road.
Can I track routes live?
Yes — live GPS tracking against the planned route surfaces deviations and idle time.
Does it increase coverage?
Yes — more efficient routes serve more outlets per vehicle per day without adding fleet.
Does it integrate with beat plans?
Yes — route optimisation and beat planning work together on the same platform.
