Optimisation
Route Planning & Optimisation
Cut kilometres and fuel with intelligent route planning and live traffic.
Route Planning and Optimisation combines live traffic intelligence with real-time fleet positions to help you assign the right driver to every job and route them there as efficiently as possible. Rather than relying on drivers to find their own way — or dispatchers making educated guesses — Argus calculates estimated ETAs, identifies the nearest available driver, and suggests the most efficient route. Combined with fuel watch and driver behaviour insights, route optimisation supports up to 15% fuel savings and measurable productivity gains across the fleet.
Key capabilities

How it works
See it in practice.
How Route Planning & Optimisation fits into your daily operations — step by step.
A job or task is assigned from the console
When a new job comes in, the dispatcher uses the Argus console to identify the nearest available driver based on live GPS positions — and assigns the job directly.
Argus calculates the most efficient route
Using live traffic data, Argus calculates the optimal route to the job location and provides the driver with an estimated ETA — avoiding delays and reducing unnecessary kilometres.
The driver navigates using live traffic guidance
The driver follows the optimised route with live traffic integration — adapting automatically to changing road conditions and keeping the ETA accurate.
vWork integration syncs job management
For operations using vWork job management, Route Planning integrates directly — syncing job assignments, ETAs, and completion data between the two platforms.
Capabilities
What it does

Intelligent route planning
Calculate the most efficient route to any job or destination based on live traffic conditions — reducing unnecessary kilometres and fuel consumption.
Closest-driver assignment
Instantly identify and assign the nearest available driver to any job — reducing response times and idle travel across the fleet.
Up to 15% fuel savings
Combined with driver behaviour insights and Fuel Watch, route optimisation contributes to up to 15% fuel savings across the Argus customer base.
vWork job management integration
Integrates directly with vWork to sync job assignments, ETAs, and completions — available on MIDI, OMNI, and VISION AI plans.
Available on MIDI, OMNI, and VISION AI plans
Route Planning and Optimisation is included in the Standard (MIDI), Premium (OMNI), and All-Inclusive AI Dashcam (VISION AI) plans.
