The challenge

When a typo costs the whole tour

What we hear from delivery dispatchers.

  • Address errors cost half the tour

    House number 42 instead of 24, street name misspelled, entrance in the back yard instead of the front. The driver is 8 km off, calls the office, the next three stops shift. One typo, one ruined morning.

  • B2B regular tours + B2C ad-hoc orders

    Mornings the fixed routes go to the warehouse — restaurants, pharmacies, business customers. Afternoons the ad-hoc B2C orders come in. Mixing both into one tour without the fixed slots tipping over is a nightmare in Excel.

  • Express orders: no time for phone tag

    Same-day order comes in, must go out today. Dispatcher has to dive into the plan, find free capacity, inform the driver. By the time it's clarified, 20 minutes are gone — and the customer is asking for status.

  • Drivers need routes offline

    No reception in the industrial park, no signal in the underground garage. If the tour is online-only, the driver stands without access at the stop.

How Trailo solves it

Clean addresses, mixed tours, fast express slots

  1. Premium geocoding against cul-de-sac tours

    Trailo validates every address before planning. Typos, ambiguous matches, missing house numbers get flagged for clarification. The driver only goes where the stop actually is.

    • Addresses validated before planning
    • Ambiguous matches flagged for manual confirmation
    • Works the same for industrial estates and rural addresses
  2. Fixed B2B routes + flexible B2C orders in one tour

    Regular customers with fixed time windows stay fixed, B2C orders are woven in as flexible stops. Trailo finds the spot without tipping over the regular tour — maximum planning freedom.

    • Fixed and flexible stops mixable in one tour
    • Time windows per stop respected
    • Drag & drop for manual adjustments
  3. Slot suggestion in seconds for express orders

    Express order comes in. Type the address, Trailo suggests a fitting slot in the running tour instantly — based on region and capacity. Dispatch confirms with one click, the driver sees it.

    • Address-based slot suggestion in seconds
    • Considers running tour and region
    • Realtime progress tracking — stop status as soon as set
  4. PDF route export for offline + REST API to the order system

    Daily route as PDF — stops, addresses, time windows. Works in the underground garage, in the industrial park, without signal. Orders flow into Trailo via REST API straight from your order system, no double entry.

    • PDF export of the daily route
    • Fully documented REST API + webhooks
    • CSV import for initial data takeover

What you save

Sample calculation: 15-driver fleet, ~120 stops/day

Conservatively calculated based on our pilot customers.

  • Fuel cost~ €9,000 −15 % × €4,000/year/vehicle × 15 vehicles
  • Avoided wasted runs from geocoding~ €4,400 2 address errors/driver/week × 15 drivers × 50 weeks × 8 km × €0.40/km — geocoding catches them before the tour
  • Daily planning time~ €13,200 1.2 h planning/day saved × 220 working days × €50/h dispatcher
  • Additional stops+ 3,300 stops +1 stop/driver/day × 15 drivers × 220 working days — direct revenue lever for express and B2C orders

Note on the calculation: Values are based on experience with existing pilot customers and plausible assumptions for a 15-driver fleet with mix of B2B fixed routes and B2C orders. Individual savings depend on stop density, address quality, order mix and hourly rates. Plug in your own numbers if you need a reliable forecast.

FAQ

Specific to delivery services

How reliable is geocoding for tricky addresses?

Trailo uses automotive-grade map data — the same data class powering modern in-car navigation systems. Ambiguous or incomplete addresses are flagged with options for manual confirmation. Industrial parks, rural addresses and back-yard entrances map cleanly.

Can we mix B2B fixed routes and B2C ad-hoc orders in one tour?

Yes, that's a core function. B2B stops you set as fixed with time window, B2C orders as flexible — Trailo finds the optimal sequence without violating fixed slots.

What if express orders come in mid-day?

Type the address, Trailo suggests a fitting slot in the running tour. You confirm with one click, the driver gets the new stop into the system (or via PDF refresh).

Can we automatically take over orders from our order system?

Yes — fully documented REST API + webhooks. Orders, stops, status updates flow bidirectionally, without anyone double-typing.

What do drivers do without stable signal?

Daily route as PDF — stops, addresses, time windows, notes. Works offline, goes on the phone or the printer.
