Another way to go about it is to automate the whole routing process. For this, you can use free delivery planning software.

The best part is that all the heavy lifting happens in the background while you're focused on growing your business.

This is because it is built to consider all of the variables and build smart and efficient routes for commercial transportation.
Google Maps route optimization offers the most efficient route from point A to point B based on current conditions and can only include 24 drops. An advanced route optimization app helps you optimize more than 24 stops, accounting for customers' preferred time windows, customer priorities, and driver breaks.

Building a route with multiple stops requires in-depth knowledge of your resources (vehicle, driver, etc.) and service area as well as designated software. While you can plan personal trips manually, commercial vehicle routing calls for more advanced solutions.
The best way to plan a route with multiple stops is by using a route planner like Track-POD or similar logistics tech solutions. Not all software is created equal, so you need to make a choice with the best results for your business needs.
To keep your shipping costs low, find a tool that offers multi-stop routes, the option to consider different vehicles, and the ability to assign priority to orders.
