Profit Vehicle Router (PVR) is a tool that automatically designs sales/distribution territories to match your company's delivery resources to your customer's deliver requirements, and then it determines the best delivery routes. PVR will maximize the use of your delivery resources and assets/systems/vehicles.

Typical users and application areas include companies that deliver on a regular basis to a relatively static set of customers, such as beverage distribution companies, snack distribution companies, uniform/linen cleaning service companies, and other wholesale distributors, etc. PVR determines, given the set of customers and their delivery frequencies, good territories to be served by each route truck over the month, so as to keep the territories compact. PVR will assign a customer to receive a delivery on one or more days within the 20-day cycle, based on their frequency of delivery.

PVR provides you a tool to automatically create optimal distribution territories (what a truck can deliver to in one day) with maps. PVR designs and routes delivery or services vehicles to minimize windshield time for your drivers.
