Optimize complex vehicle routing problems – one API call away


Planning for the real world goes far beyond shortest-path calculations. Skill matching, driver shifts, load balancing, compliance, and real-time traffic disruptions all play a role in shaping optimal vehicle routes.

Solve complex vehicle routing challenges with Timefold’s powerful optimization APIs, designed for demanding use cases like logistics, pickup & delivery, field service, utility work, and beyond.

Use cases

Vehicle Routing Problems go far beyond simple route optimization. When factoring in multiple constraints like vehicle capacities, time windows, multi-stop deliveries or real-time changes, standard tools break down. Timefold thrives under complexity. 

Capacitated VRP (CVRP)

Account for vehicle limits & optimize loads

VRP with Time Windows (VRPTW)

Ensure deliveries happen at the right time

Pickup & Delivery VRP (PDVRP)

Optimize both inbound & outbound logistics

Multi-Depot VRP (MDVRP)

Assign fleets across multiple hubs

Dynamic VRP (DVRP)

Adapt routes in real time based on new constraints

Heterogeneous Fleet VRP (VRPHF)

Optimize for different vehicle types

A better and faster way to optimize

Unlike many solvers or rigid tools, Timefold delivers enterprise-grade performance out of the box through APIs, adapts to your unique constraints in real-time, and scales effortlessly with your business. It’s faster to customize, faster to verify value and faster to integrate. For more technical details on the Timefold Platform, please visit our documentation

Why choose Timefold?

What makes Timefold different?

Real-world planning: Adapt to unexpected events

Most solutions are notoriously rigid, not Timefold. Our PlanningAI adapts in real-time, guaranteeing an optimal planning at all times. 

A unified solution: One brain for all your planning

Unified scheduling and vehicle routing in one engine. From nurse rosters to field tech itineraries — same logic, same muscle.

Explainable AI: See the why behind the what

Explainable AI with score analysis and clear optimization gains. Know why a shift was assigned or a route rerouted. It’s not magic, it’s math you can trust.

Customizable constraints: You call the rules

Hard and soft constraints, fully customizable. Your contracts, your preferences, your business logic, embedded in your solution.

Seamless integration with maps

To precalculate road costs Timefold can be integrated with many other technologies. Typical solutions precalculate road costs include GraphHopper (embeddable, offline Java engine), Open MapQuest (web service) and Google Maps Client API (web service).
