Route optimisation software

Route Optimisation Software and GPS Route Planning

Your drivers know their regular runs. The inefficiencies show up in the data: empty kilometres between stops, time windows missed by 20 minutes, two vehicles crossing the same territory.

Ctrack's routing solution removes these gaps by calculating the best route for every job before the driver leaves the depot. Crystal processes real-time data, vehicle positions, and job constraints to help you plan routes and assign work precisely. Your team gets a live map of vehicle locations and job progress. New jobs go to the nearest available driver in one click, without phone calls.

For New Zealand businesses running regular delivery schedules or servicing multiple sites per day, route optimisation delivers measurable cost reduction. Frost & Sullivan research confirms fleet tracking delivers 300% average ROI, with route planning accounting for 10 to 15 percent of fuel savings.

Route planning software

Route optimisation Software vs Manual Planning

Moving from manual route planning to GPS-based optimisation software changes how your operation runs. The difference shows in kilometres, time, and costs controlled.

Without Route Optimisation

Phone calls and radio to locate drivers and assign delivery jobs

With Ctrack Route Optimisation

Live GPS map with one-click dispatch and optimised routes for every job

Without Route Optimisation

Fixed delivery routes that ignore real-world traffic and driver availability

With Ctrack Route Optimisation

Dynamic GPS routing using live vehicle data and actual locations

Without Route Optimisation

No tracking of empty kilometres, route length, or inefficient stops

With Ctrack Route Optimisation

Live data showing route length, distance per delivery, and efficiency per run

Without Route Optimisation

Missed delivery windows and no early warning when drivers fall behind

With Ctrack Route Optimisation

Automated alerts when drivers risk missing scheduled deadlines

Without Route Optimisation

Rising fuel bills with no route-level explanation or data

With Ctrack Route Optimisation

Route-level reporting on fuel use, idling, and driver behaviour

Delivery route management

Route Planning Software for Last-Mile Delivery

Delivery scheduling goes beyond finding the shortest path. Your routes need to account for customer expectations, vehicle capacity, driver hours under the Land Transport Act, and road conditions across New Zealand's varied terrain.

Crystal builds optimised routes that meet every scheduling constraint. The jobs module confirms completions and captures GPS evidence at each stop. Managers see which vehicles are on schedule and which need reassignment, without driver check-in calls.

For businesses doing last-mile delivery or field service work across Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch, Crystal reduces travel time and improves customer satisfaction. Better delivery operations save time, minimise wasted distance, and lower operational efficiency losses.

  • Delivery scheduling with time constraintsSchedule jobs to meet customer delivery commitments. Alert managers before a deadline is missed.
  • Field service job routingAssign field service jobs to the nearest available driver with GPS mapping to the job site.
  • GPS proof of deliveryCapture arrival time, departure, and completion at each stop with GPS-verified evidence.

Road user charges

Route Optimisation and NZ Road User Charges

NZ fleets pay road user charges based on distance. Every wasted kilometre adds to your RUC bill. Crystal tracks every kilometre travelled, supports off-road RUC refund claims for vehicles on private land, and prepares your operation for New Zealand's transition to fully digital RUC by 2027. Combining GPS-verified distance tracking with Crystal saves cost and keeps your operation compliant.

Fleet analytics

Benefits of Route optimisation, Mapping and Fleet Management

The benefits of route optimisation extend beyond cutting kilometres. Lower logistics costs, less pressure on drivers who can meet realistic schedules, and better data for ongoing fleet management all follow.

Crystal's analytics platform gives managers route length data, safety metrics, and delivery performance summaries in real time. Feed that data back into route improvement. Optimise routes once, then refine them week by week using actual results.

GPS route planning helps New Zealand operators streamline operations and improve customer satisfaction. Crystal's fleet management and mapping tools help you streamline and gain visibility across every vehicle and every run.

  • Route analytics and mappingTrack actual versus planned routes. Identify inefficiencies and optimise performance with route-level mapping and data.
  • Driver safety on optimised routesMonitor performance on every route. Flag speeding, harsh braking, and time and fuel inefficiencies per vehicle.
  • Advanced route planning algorithmsCrystal's routing algorithm accounts for road conditions, vehicle capacity, and driver hour limits to calculate the most efficient routes.
