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 Review Notes

The Review Notes panel beside the Routes table gives you the whole health check in one list:

Line What it tells you
N jobs unassigned Jobs the engine couldn't place — with a View reasons button, or a Clear badge when there are none
Jobs optimized How many jobs were successfully placed into routes
Routes created How many vehicles have at least one stop
Unused vehicles Vehicles that were available but ended the run with no work
Travel time Total driving time across all routes
Travel distance Total distance across all routes, in your account's units
Mode Planning or Dispatch
Strategy The strategy this result was produced with
Earliest ETA The earliest arrival time across every route
Latest ETA The latest arrival time across every route

Review Route Plan showing the Review Notes panel with jobs unassigned, jobs optimized, routes created, unused vehicles, travel time and distance, mode, strategy, and earliest and latest ETA.

2. Check the unassigned count

If N jobs 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 that vehicle's first stop
Last ETA Estimated time of that vehicle's last stop

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

Row ETAs vs plan ETAs

First ETA and Last ETA in this table belong to a single route. For the earliest and latest times across the whole plan, read Earliest ETA and Latest ETA in Review Notes.

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 the routes on the map

Select View Routes above the Routes table 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 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 you have accounted for every unassigned job and accepted that it stays out of today's plan.
  • 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.
