Sequencing a shift's delivery stops for a driver
Takes the parcels loaded for a vehicle, its capacity and the promised delivery windows, and proposes the order in which the stops should be visited, re-sequencing when a delivery fails or a pickup is added mid-shift — while leaving the driver free to depart from the sequence where the street says otherwise.

What to check before you ship it in India
- A stop list is a set of customers' home addresses with time windows attached. A hosted routing service handling it is a Data Processor engaged for an activity related to the offering of goods or services to Data Principals, which section 8(2) permits only under a valid contract — and self-serve terms clicked through at signup rarely constitute one.
- Stop-by-stop execution data is continuous location tracking of a named driver viewed from a different angle. A routing rollout is how fleet monitoring tends to arrive in an organisation without anyone having decided to introduce it.
