Frequently Asked Questions
A transportation optimization solver is a software engine designed to solve complex business problems related to transportation planning and vehicle routing. Thanks to advanced optimization algorithms, it represents a decision-support tool to make the best choices for dispatching and assigning transportation operations.
Atoptima’s RouteSolver stands out due to its performance, with calculation times 40 times faster than market solvers, scalability, and features. With over 25 years of expertise in mathematical optimization, our transportation optimization software handles the most complex constraints, where no alternatives exist in the market.
The cost of route optimization software mainly depends on two factors: the complexity of the problem (functional scope, number of decisions to entrust to the solver) and the size of the problem (fleet size, number of operations to be performed). These elements impact the problem modeling and the computational power required, thus affecting the solution’s cost.Contact our experts for a personalized quote!
The criticality of decisions handled by an optimization solver and the agility of a SaaS model lead to a particularly rapid ROI. RouteSolver customers typically see a 30% reduction in transportation costs (fleet size, kilometers, service times reduction). Besides direct benefits, there are many indirect ones, such as improved quality of service and the resilience of the routing planning process.
In order to optimize your transport plan, we need 3 main types of data: 1) the characteristics of your fleet; 2) the locations and characteristics of the pickup and delivery points (geo-localisation, opening time windows, access time, …); 3) the characteristics of the requests to be made (pickup and/or delivery and their time window, capacity and expertise requirements, service time, etc).
Transportation Management Systems (TMS) are business softwares designed to help carriers and shippers manage their transport activities. They allow the digitalization of processes but in many cases they fall short of offering the optimization intelligence to automate decision-making. Atoptima’s optimization modules are perfectly complementary to TMS, enhancing them with decision support features. They can easily be integrated via API to your TMS/DMS (Acteos, Klareo, Savoye, Urbantz…) to provide the missing brick while guaranteeing a fluid user experience. By adopting Atoptima’s solutions, you will benefit the designation « Powered by ATOPTIMA » showcasing the uniqueness of the underlying solver and your « best-of-breed » technological approach.
Yes, RouteSolver tackles both strategic, tactical, and operational transport optimization, handling the most complex constraints such as:Strategic and tactical transport plan optimization: visit frequency selection, fleet sizing, network design, flow optimization. Operational vehicle routing optimization: pickup & delivery, multiple routing rotations, multi-echelon, multi-mode, compartments, congestion, reverse logistics.
Yes, our route planning software allows you to measure and reduce your CO2 emissions. RouteSolver uses advanced algorithms to reduce distances traveled and fleet size by improving network design and transportation plans. It also reduces empty spaces through 3D palletization and truck loading optimization. With its holistic approach, RouteSolver ensures sustainable and profitable new systems (e.g. multimodal transport, reverse logistics, resource pooling). You can track and compare CO2 emissions for each transportation plan calculated by RouteSolver and develop an action plan for deploying a zero-emission fleet (see CEVA Logistics case).
Yes, RouteSolver takes road traffic congestion into account using data from our partner HERE Technologies, which leverages flow data to analyze speed and congestion and incident data to identify road closures, collisions, and roadworks (similar to solutions like Waze or Google Maps). The intelligent processing of this data within the solver is critical. RouteSolver has multiple levers to finely manage the impact of traffic and circulation restrictions on the routing plan.
Handling multiple decision levels in an all-in-one solver is one of Atoptima’s key differentiations. Our Route&PackSolver tool allows optimizing your palletization and truck/container loading decisions in synergy with vehicle routing decisions. This integrated approach enabled the SAFO Group to reduce its transportation costs by 20% through better filling rates and reduced kilometers (see use case).
There is no minimum fleet size required for using optimization tools. For example, for a catering organization with multiple daily trips and a fleet of <10 vehicles, optimization technologies turned out essential to manage the complexity of their constraints: multi-trips, reverse logistics, multiple time window options… And the ROI was significant.

If you outsource the management of your vehicle fleet to one or more logistics providers, RouteSolver is just as relevant, since it not only reduces the overall transportation cost, but also helps you control your environmental impact through better decision-making. In particular, it addresses the complex challenges of consolidating shipments, creating optimal routes, preparing carrier tenders and optimizing 3D truck loading.
RouteSolver includes dynamic re-optimization features that allow rescheduling tasks added during deployment or accounting for field contingencies. Besides this “online” optimization, RouteSolver integrates robust optimization models to handle uncertainties. Note that a good upfront optimization, considering all constraints, will require only exceptional readjustments.
Atoptima solvers’ performance is measured by its quality of solution and its calculation times 40x faster than market solvers. The notion of calculation time is linked to scalability. In combinatorial optimization, the difficulty increases exponentially with the problem size. For large datasets, advanced algorithmic strategies are necessary to maintain reasonable calculation times. For a client with 300+ routes, RouteSolver produces optimal solutions in seconds without violating any constraints.
Decision-making AI solvers require the least amount of data. Only data strictly necessary to solve the problem is required: the list of tasks to be done and the resources available to accomplish them.If your data is incomplete or inaccurate, significant productivity gains can still be achieved at the macroscopic level (with more aggregated data) before refining the model with more and more precise data.
You need a route optimization solver if:1. You need to assign transport orders to vehicles and drivers.2. You need to decide how to allocate them optimally.3. You need to comply with complex constraints while aiming for an objective.Even if you have some level of automation, how can you ensure your decisions are truly optimized? With billions of possible configurations, only optimization intelligence technologies can provide the optimal solution respecting all your constraints in seconds.
