What is Route Planning and Optimisation?

Route planning and optimisation helps you determine the most efficient way to travel between multiple locations.

Within Argus Tracking, you can enter job locations and planned stops, then review an optimised version of that route. The system presents both options clearly, including estimated travel time and distance, so you can choose the most effective route before work begins.

 

Why it matters for your fleet

Without clear route planning, vehicles often travel further than necessary or take longer routes. Over time, this can impact fuel costs, scheduling, and vehicle performance.

Route optimisation helps address this by providing visibility and control over how your fleet moves, supporting more consistent and efficient operations.
