Automatic route optimization for deliveries

Purpose

1.1. Automatically calculate and assign the most optimal delivery routes for ammunition and defense supplies, minimizing delivery time, operational costs, and compliance risks for wholesale suppliers.
1.2. Integrate order intake, real-time vehicle data, inventory status, legal route constraints for hazardous materials, driver schedules, and customer preferred delivery windows.
1.3. Ensure full regulatory compliance with both local and international rules on ammunition and hazardous material transportation.
1.4. Seamlessly connect fulfillment, dispatch, fleet, and customer notification systems to achieve fully automated, auditable route scheduling and adaptation.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Customer order placement and fulfillment request creation.
2.2. Inventory update indicating readiness of goods at a distribution center.
2.3. Receipt of vehicle and driver availability status update.
2.4. Environmental or regulatory alert (e.g., route closure, curfew enforcement).
