METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR ADDING SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER DELIVERIES TO DELIVERY PLANS

Abstract:

A delivery route planning system can include a computing device configured to obtain order delivery data that includes information characterizing delivery locations and delivery time windows associated with a first plurality of orders and to determine a delivery plan based on the order delivery data. The computing device can be further configured to identify recyclable time in the delivery time and to obtain supplemental order delivery data that includes information characterizing supplemental orders characterizing delivery locations and delivery time windows associated a second plurality of orders. The computing system can add one or more supplemental order deliveries from the second plurality of orders to the delivery plan based on the recyclable time, the supplemental order delivery data and at least one predetermined delivery constraint.
