Short answer

How can I add and schedule deliveries using my AI?

You tell your AI client what needs to be delivered, when, and how much space it takes up. The AI then uses OptimoRoute to create the order and check the scheduling constraints. You get a structured route that respects your vehicle limits and customer time windows.

The results of your request

Where your orders land

Once you give the command, your AI performs these actions.

NEW ORDER

Stops added to queue

The AI creates a new delivery stop with all the necessary address and package data. This populates your pending orders immediately.

LOGISTICS

Capacity and timing checked

The agent verifies that the order fits within your vehicle's capacity and respects the requested time window. It ensures no driver is overbooked.

CLEANUP

Old data removed

The AI identifies and clears out outdated or stale orders that no longer apply to your current route. This keeps your dashboard clean.

HUMAN

Final route review

The AI presents the proposed schedule for your approval. You decide if the timing works before the driver sees it.

The workflow

What your AI does when a delivery request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and your OptimoRoute account.

  1. Parse delivery details

    The AI extracts the destination, time window, and load size from your message. It turns your natural language into structured data.

    get_order_scheduling

  2. Create the stop

    The agent sends the finalized stop details to your routing engine. This adds the new location to your active pool of work.

    create_route_order

  3. Manage order lifecycle

    If you change your mind or a customer cancels, the AI can remove the specific order from the system.

    delete_stale_order

  4. Confirm scheduling

    The AI checks the existing schedule to ensure the new stop doesn't break your current driver routes.

FAQ

How the connector behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically start the drivers on their routes?

    No. The AI can add, delete, and check orders, but it cannot trigger the actual dispatch or start a driver's trip.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my entire route if I make a mistake?

    No. The AI only uses the tool to remove specific stale orders that you explicitly tell it to delete.

  • 03

    Can I ask the AI to optimize the entire route for fuel efficiency?

    No. The AI handles individual order entry and scheduling checks, but it does not run the full optimization algorithm itself.

  • 04

    Does the AI know my vehicle capacities?

    Yes, it uses the scheduling tools to ensure new orders respect the capacity constraints you have set in OptimoRoute.

  • 05

    Can the AI change a driver's personal settings?

    No. The AI is limited to managing orders and scheduling; it cannot modify driver profiles or account settings.
