Equipment Types – Create & Manage Vehicle, Capacity, And Skill Profiles

Equipment Types in Route4Me allow you to create reusable profiles that define how vehicles, capacity limits, and required skills are applied to routing. These profiles help ensure operational requirements are consistently configured across routes, supporting more accurate planning and simpler setup within your account. By organizing these settings into structured profiles, you can more easily manage different equipment configurations and apply them where needed during route optimization.
