Solving this very rich routing problem required an optimization method that can handle many different constraints: being able to do that with a high-level declarative language like Hexaly Modeler made this task much easier. Hexaly Optimizer’s very quick modeling and solving times allowed us to run what-if analysis to inform potential fleet management decisions. Being able to solve the problem very quickly also enabled us to handle the stochastic nature of the problem with ease, running hundreds of scenarios in just a few minutes.
