A planning platform for transport companies that plans smarter, drives fewer kilometres, and steers the whole operation on data. Route optimization that typically cuts distance and cost by 15–30%, from one platform that ties planning, dispatch and reporting together.
Minder gedoe. Meer winst. — for transport companies that would rather plan on data than on gut feel.
DataFirst Logistics takes a fleet, a day’s shipments and the real road network and produces routes that are genuinely optimized: fewer kilometres driven, tighter delivery windows, and a live timeline a planner can actually work with. The gains are real and measured — 15–30% less distance on the routes it plans — because the optimizer is solving the actual vehicle routing problem against real driving times, not drawing straight lines on a map.
The shape of it
- Real routing, not estimates. Distances and drive times come from the true road network, so a plan that looks good on screen holds up on the road.
- One platform, planning to reporting. Build the plan, dispatch it, and see afterward what actually happened against what was planned.
- Built for the operation. Delivery windows, vehicle capacities, depots and the awkward real-world constraints that make routing hard rather than a textbook exercise.
Stack — a vehicle-routing core over OSRM road-network data, a web planning app, and an Astro marketing site. Deployed and in use.
