This node can be used to calculate cost-optimal routes for pickup and delivery orders. Sophisticated algorithmns help you to optimize your supply and/or delivery network. Consider realistic cost and constraint structures to calculate an optimal transport plan.
For this node three input tables are needed. The first one contains the information of the depots. The second one contains the information of the vehicles.
