Capacity inputs
Item capacity, weight capacity, volume capacity, mission capacity, skills, vehicle type, costs per km/hour, working hours, and start/end points.

Guides FAQ
Why does vehicle capacity matter in route planning?
Stops are not equal. Capacity helps prevent overloading vehicles and makes route plans more realistic for the work being carried.
What constraints should teams model?
Teams should model item, weight, volume, mission limits, skills, working hours, depots, driver availability, and vehicle assignment context.
