Renumber / Sequencing Stops

Pathway: Operations > Route Management > Renumber / Sequencing Stops [tab]


The Renumber / Sequencing Stops screen in Route Management allows you to manage and organize the order of stops on a route. It provides tools to adjust existing sequences, add unsequenced stops based on driver completion order, and, if route optimization is enabled, automatically create the most efficient stop order to reduce travel time.

This screen includes advanced Route Optimization technologies to intelligently balance and sequence routes for maximum efficiency.  This added feature is designed to reduce drive time, lower costs, and simplify route planning.  For additional details, see: Improve Operations with Route Optimization.

Field Description

Review the field descriptions below to better understand their purpose.

Renumber a Route

Use the Renumber option on a route to renumber only the stops that already have a sequence number. This feature creates sequencing gaps between existing stops, providing flexibility to add and sequence new stops within the route later.

Insert Unsequenced Stops

Use the Insert unsequenced stops link to add stops to the route based on the most recent completion order—that is, the order in which the driver completed the stops. This action assigns sequence numbers to the previously unsequenced stops and updates the existing sequenced stops accordingly. 

Route Optimization

If your system does not include the add-on route optimization feature, the Sequence Optimization and Last Sequence Optimization fields will not display. Route optimization enhances the routing process by intelligently sequencing stops to improve efficiency, reduce drive time, and minimize operational costs.  For additional details on how it might benefit your operations, see: Improve Operations with Route Optimization.
