How does the system help in optimizing truck routes?
By using the Field Service and Fleet modules, Odoo helps plan the most efficient paths for collection. It considers the location of bins, vehicle capacity, and driver availability to minimize fuel usage and maximize the number of pickups per shift, leading to better resource allocation.
