Review the route plan

Applies to v1.7+ · ~3 min read · Plan routes

After optimization runs, the Review Route Plan step shows you the full result before any manifests are generated. Use it to confirm the plan is sound — or to catch problems early.

1. Read the summary cards

Four cards at the top give you a quick health check:

Card What it tells you
Jobs optimized How many jobs were successfully placed into routes
Routes created How many vehicles have at least one stop
Unassigned Jobs the engine couldn't place — with a View reasons link
Travel time Total driving time across all routes

Review Route Plan summary cards: Jobs optimized, Routes created, Unassigned (with View reasons link), and Travel time.

2. Check the unassigned count

If Unassigned is greater than zero, select View reasons before moving on. The app lists each unassigned job and the reason it was excluded.

Don't export with a high unassigned count

A high number usually means a data problem you can fix in minutes. See Fix unassigned jobs for the most common causes and their fixes.

A small number of unassigned jobs may be acceptable — for example, jobs that are genuinely outside your coverage window for the day. Use your judgment.

3. Read the Routes table

Below the cards, the Routes table shows one row per vehicle that has work assigned:

Column What it shows
Vehicle The vehicle ID
Route Route identifier for this vehicle's run
Jobs Number of jobs on the route
Stops Number of stops (a job has a pickup stop and a delivery stop)
First ETA Estimated time of the driver's first stop
Last ETA Estimated time of the driver's last stop

Routes table with Vehicle, Route, Jobs, Stops, First ETA, and Last ETA columns. One row is highlighted to show stop detail.

Look for outliers — a vehicle with far more stops than others, a last ETA that runs very late, or a route that looks unexpectedly short. These can indicate an issue with the underlying data.

4. View all routes on the map

Select View All Routes to open a map showing every route as a coloured path. Use this to spot geographic anomalies — for example, a vehicle crossing the territory of another, or a stop that appears far outside its expected zone.

View All Routes map with coloured route lines and numbered stop markers for each vehicle.

5. Decide: proceed or go back

The plan is ready to export when:

  • Jobs optimized matches the number of jobs you imported (or the difference is explained by intentionally unassigned jobs).
  • No route has a last ETA that exceeds your acceptable end-of-day time.
  • The map shows routes that make geographic sense.

If something looks wrong, go back to Choose Strategy and re-run with a different strategy, or fix the underlying data and re-import.

When you're satisfied, select Continue to Export.
