Multi-Stop Route Sequencer & Manifest
Import a day's delivery stops, sequence them by time window and proximity, check vehicle capacity, and produce a dispatcher-approved driver manifest with map links - no whiteboard required.
A login-protected tool where you import the day's stops, get an automatic route order that honors time windows and proximity, see a clear capacity check against the truck, reorder anything by hand, and release an approved driver manifest with one-tap map links.
Before you start
- A free Vercel account
- A free Supabase account
- A free Resend account (for sending the manifest)
- A spreadsheet or CSV export of a typical day's stops
The problem this kills
Right now your route comes together on a whiteboard, in a dispatcher's head, or in a spreadsheet that nobody else can read. Stops get ordered by gut feel. Time windows get missed because nobody noticed the 8-10am drop was scheduled fourth. You load the truck and find out at the dock that it's over weight. And when the driver calls in lost, there's no clean stop sheet to point them to.
Every morning you rebuild the same puzzle by hand, and every morning there's a chance a small mistake turns into a late delivery, a callback, or a second trip.
What you'll build
A simple internal web app that takes a list of stops for the day - addresses, time windows, weight and pieces - and a vehicle's capacity, and does the boring, error-prone part for you:
- It sequences the stops into a sensible order using a nearest-neighbor pass that respects each stop's delivery window.
- It checks the load against the truck's weight and piece limits and warns you before the driver does.
- It lets you drag stops into a different order when you know something the math doesn't.
- It produces a clean driver manifest with a stop sheet and one-tap map links that open in any phone's map app - no routing API or paid service required.
Nothing goes to a driver until you, the dispatcher, review and approve it.
What's inside the Implementation Plan
The plan is a single file you paste into an AI coding agent. The agent builds the whole tool with you, step by step, in plain language.
It opens by interviewing you about your operation - how you build routes today, what your stops actually look like, how you name addresses and orders, your real and peak stop counts, your time-window rules, and your messy exceptions (will-calls, must-be-first stops, fragile loads). It then reads back a short tailored spec and waits for your thumbs-up before it builds anything. You get a tool shaped around your dispatch desk, not a generic template.
From there it walks through importing stops, the sequencing logic, the capacity check, the dispatcher approval gate, and the manifest - each step ending with a ready-to-paste prompt.
The governance it includes (this is the point)
This isn't a toy. The plan bakes in the controls a real dispatch operation needs:
- Login, so only your team can open it.
- Row-level security, so each depot or company only ever sees its own stops and vehicles.
- A full audit trail - who imported, who reordered, who approved, and when.
- A hard human-in-the-loop approval gate: the tool drafts the route, but a dispatcher must review and approve before the manifest is released to a driver.
- Duplicate guards keyed on the stop or order ID, so the same delivery can't sneak onto the route twice.
Who it's for
Dispatchers, delivery planners, and small-fleet operations leads who are tired of building routes by hand and want a repeatable, reviewable way to plan the day - without buying a heavyweight routing platform.
You've got this. Open the plan, paste the first prompt, and let the agent interview you - the route board builds itself from there.
