Why route planning matters to rental businesses
Route planning is an important factor for rental businesses, determining operational effectiveness and customer satisfaction. Routes that are planned well ensure timely deliveries and pickups which enable optimum utilisation of equipment as idling time is reduced. By routing optimisation, companies can reduce the amount of consumed fuel by their vehicles, and the rate of consumption wear and tear on the vehicles related to money spent on labour.
In addition to this, effective routing improves service delivery through accurate and timely deliverability estimates as well as last-minute order accommodations. As a whole, it helps rental equipment businesses to increase operational efficiency and reduce resource wastage so that they get a competitive advantage in the market.

How business rental solutions help plan optimised routes
Here are the top 6 ways that routes can be optimised using the right rental software solutions:
Real-time tracking
Vehicle location in business rental solutions is obtained on the spot immediately, and managers can track its movement throughout the route chosen to evade traffic jams or nearly impossible climbs such as blocked roads.

Route optimisation algorithms
The software determines the most optimal path based on characteristics such as multi-directional traffic patterns, distance and different pickup/delivery schedules to minimise consumption fuel costs to help save time.
Customisable parameters
Rental solutions can be adjusted to fit the distinct preferences of fleet managers and take a more flexible and optimal route to ensure that every route is individually tailored to meet the unique demand and limitations.

Integration with GPS navigation
Being integrated with GPS navigation systems offers drivers a convenient option where they can access optimised routes before they’re on the move so that they get to travel using the optimal route and efficient paths.
Driver communication
With rental solutions, communication between drivers and dispatchers is possible where real-time updates on adjustments of route, traffic conditions or changes in the schedule involving pickup and drop off are facilitated.
