The Now's

SequenceNow ^AI

Automatic Route Sequencing

The route that routes itself. Give SequenceNow a few pointers — where the truck starts, when it leaves, where it dumps, how long a stop takes, whether to work each side of the street — and it does the rest: every weekday's stops put in order by drive time on real roads, the line drawn, and an arrival time at every stop. Play the day to watch time, distance and duration add up, and see what it's made of in one breakdown. Know a better road? Drag the line onto it. Want it by hand? Type the numbers in, and see the difference from RouteNow's order.

1 of 8The order works itself out

RouteNow orders every weekday's stops by drive time on real roads, from the yard to the dump, and draws the line. Re-sequence with one click whenever the route changes.

1. 1The order works itself outRouteNow orders every weekday's stops by drive time on real roads, from the yard to the dump, and draws the line. Re-sequence with one click whenever the route changes.
2. 2Your placesStart at the yard, finish at the dump, and enter and leave the territory where you choose. A stop that has to go first or last? Mark it Beginning or End. A rest stop goes wherever the detour costs least.
3. 3Side of the streetTick one box on a route, and on streets with customers on both sides the truck works each side separately, at the curb.
4. 4When it leaves, and how long a stop takesSet when the truck leaves the yard and a default stop time for the route — override any service that takes longer, and add time at the dump. Every arrival time, the end of the day and the breakdown hang off those.
5. 5Play the dayEvery stop gets an arrival time. Press play to drive the day at 1× to 60×, and the list follows the truck.
6. 6The breakdownDrive time, deadhead, time at stops, and the whole day against an 8-hour shift, in one row.
7. 7Steer itKnow a better way? Drag the route line onto the road you'd take, save the steer, and RouteNow re-plans the day through it.
8. 8By hand, if you wantClick a stop's number and type where it goes, and a moved stop shows "was N". RouteNow keeps its own order, so flip between the two and the breakdown shows the difference.
