Routing Profiles – Create, Manage, And Apply Routing Profiles

Routing Profiles are reusable templates that save your preferred route planning settings so dispatchers and route planners don’t have to configure them from scratch every time a route is created. This is especially useful for enterprise businesses managing last mile route planning at scale, where consistency across hundreds of routes and drivers matters. Once selected, a Routing Profile determines exactly how a vehicle navigates a route, from avoiding restricted zones to following specific driving rules.

To access your Routing Profiles, go to “Optimization Settings” > “Routing Profiles” from the Navigation Menu or click the button below.
