Route planning software for business
Manage complex routes and maintain full visibility at all times, even with large vehicle fleets, multiple locations and individual requirements. With PLANTOUR, you can create realistic routes and execute them reliably. Planning, execution and analysis work together seamlessly, enabling continuous optimization.
Reduce transport costs
Optimized routes combine orders efficiently, shorten overall driving distances and reduce costs per route.
Improve delivery quality
Realistic time windows enable on-time deliveries and help minimize complaints.
Relief for dispatchers
Automated workflows save time in day-to-day operations and make it easier to respond to short-term changes while routes are already in progress.
Reduce CO₂ emissions
Efficient routes avoid unnecessary trips and sustainably reduce fuel consumption.
From manual planning to automated route optimization
Many companies still plan routes manually or with disconnected systems. As soon as large order volumes, tight time windows or last-minute changes come into play, coordination effort, error rates and costs increase.
PLANTOUR goes beyond simple route planning. In addition to distances, the software also takes orders, vehicles, time windows, capacities, priorities, service times and individual restrictions into account. This allows routes to be created automatically, adjusted flexibly and managed centrally.
How PLANTOUR supports your route planning
Plan & optimize
Plan strategic, tactical and operational routes in one central system — from long-term scenarios to daily dispatching.
Execute & control
Keep track of ongoing routes and respond quickly to delays, new orders or changing conditions.
Integrate & Scale
Integrate PLANTOUR into your ERP, TMS and telematics systems and use the solution in the cloud, hybrid or on-premises.
Calculate routes intelligently
PLANTOUR uses AI-supported optimization methods to automatically calculate economically viable routes while taking time windows, resources and individual requirements into account. All relevant factors are considered simultaneously, resulting in realistic plans that can be reliably executed in everyday operations
- Individual requirements: Your own rules and conditions are incorporated directly into the planning process.
- Compare scenarios: Dispatchers can quickly compare different planning options.
- Full transparency: You can see at any time how routes were calculated.
Dynamically adjust routes
Routes rarely run exactly as planned. PLANTOUR processes live data in real time and enables dispatchers to make targeted adjustments to ongoing routes when deviations occur. Changes are transmitted directly to the vehicles.
- Live data & ETA: Current traffic information and delays are continuously incorporated to provide reliable arrival times.
- Automatic Replanning: Routes are recalculated and adjusted immediately in the event of deviations.
- Manual control: Dispatchers remain in control at all times.
Involve Drivers & Customers
PLANTOUR integrates drivers, vehicles and recipients directly into the delivery process. This creates a seamless flow of information from dispatcher to customer, based on a single shared data foundation.
- Status & progress: Routes, shipments and arrival times can be tracked at any time.
- Digital proof of delivery: Proof of Delivery is recorded digitally and made available centrally.
- customer notifications: Automated updates and live tracking reduce inquiries and improve service quality.

Developed for complex requirements
Time windows, service times, driving restrictions, priorities and individual rules shape every route planning process. PLANTOUR takes these requirements into account and creates routes that are both mathematically optimized and reliable in everyday operations.
AI-supported planning
The AI in PLANTOUR supports dispatchers with well-founded suggestions, transparently shows the impact of decisions and allows manual intervention at any time. People remain the decision-makers, while AI provides speed, visibility and planning quality.
End-to-End process
PLANTOUR connects planning, live execution and analysis in one continuous cycle. Deviations, driving times and real route data flow back into the optimization process and improve the quality of future planning.
Powerful optimization with MAPSERVICES
The MAPSERVICES routing and optimization engine ensures precise calculations and can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements.

What our customers say
“PLANTOUR is a great support for our service teams and project management. We had extensive and very specific requirements for our route planning and, together with PASS Software, were able to sustainably solve a central and important challenge for our business.”
“Unlike in the past, we can now monitor every single pallet and allocate services down to the cent. At the end of the year, this naturally enables a completely different level of benchmarking.”
“PLANTOUR has been accepted by the dispatchers. For Steelcase, the decision was the right one, as the investment paid for itself within one year. Transport costs of €250,000 are saved year after year.”
“With the PLANTOUR route planning system, the bakery Harry Brot GmbH improves its delivery punctuality and shortens routes: the optimized routes save 30 to 90 minutes per route and day.”

FAQ: Frequently asked questions from our customers
What is route planning software?
Route planning software helps businesses plan and optimize transport and delivery processes efficiently. It takes factors such as time windows, resources, distances and costs into account in order to calculate optimal routes. Modern solutions like PLANTOUR also enable dynamic real-time adjustments and integration into existing systems.
From how many orders does route planning software make sense?
Our route planning software often pays off from as few as three to four trucks and is suitable for companies of all sizes. We would be happy to carry out a free initial check using your data so that you can make a well-founded decision.
How is PLANTOUR integrated into existing systems?
PLANTOUR integrates seamlessly into existing systems such as ERP or merchandise management systems and imports relevant data such as customers, orders or fleet information. Alternatively, all data can be created directly in the software.
What support and assistance options are available to me?
PASS provides an online portal with articles, videos and an FAQ database that is continuously growing. In addition, PASS offers direct support via the PASS Service Desk through a ticket system, phone, email or video support. Extended support levels can be agreed individually.
