Potential Cost factors in Optiflow API

[Bernd Welter]

As you know: Optiflow optimizes tour structures based on costs. A question that appears often on my screen is

Which cost factors are supported by Optiflow?

The potential factors in API will be extended!

As of today (26.11.2024) the Route Optimization Optiflow API offers many different cost factors such as

• Per Vehicle:
  • fix costs
  • per kilometer
  • per hour
• Per Location:
  • per alternative timewindow (1.3.0)
  • per concurrent ramp...
• Per order
  • Outsourcing costs
• Per combinations... e.g.
  • orderVehicle.violationCost (1.3.0)

This list covers a subset of a way bigger set of contributing factors and we will extend the API step by step.
If you spot a cost factor in the SaaS Excel definition you are interested in get back to us and we can check whether and when it is on our roadmap.
