Optimize your ideal route planning

Simply open our map view within the list display using Google Maps. Tasks with filled address fields will be shown. Click "Get Route" at the bottom of the map view to link all tasks in your current selection and calculate the route.

Tip: Ensure your list view is well-filtered. Most customers plan routes on a daily basis.

Tailor the right route for each employee or vehicle

Assign the desired resources to your tasks (cards), such as your drivers, technicians, service teams, or vehicles. Click on one of the resources within the map view to display only the cards for that specific resource. The number within the resource precisely indicates the number of scheduled tasks. The route description, number of kilometers, and expected travel time are displayed at the bottom of the map view.

Need to make changes to your route or add a task?

You're always in control of your own (route) planning within vPlan. Easily and quickly rearrange cards within the list view and see the impact on your route planning immediately.

Let us calculate the optimal route for you

If your employees need to visit different addresses in a day, select the appropriate cards with the period selection and resource. With a single click, we'll optimize the logical order of the cards, saving unnecessary travel time, fuel, and money!

Note: Route planning and optimization of your scheduled tasks are only available in the Professional package. You get 1,000 credits free per month. Each action in route planning, such as adjustment or optimization, costs you 1 credit. It's possible to increase your standard monthly credits.


Once your (route) planning is done, it's time to start executing!
