The NET Genium framework can solve transportation problems and display routes on base maps.

Route optimization, routing, geographical data analysis

Pilsner Urquell in the Czech Republic and its subsidiary Topvar in Slovakia use the NET Genium framework to calculate optimal routes for their sales representatives. The country is divided into regions, each served by an individual sales representative. Within these regions, we calculate optimal routes for visiting all customers. The constraints for the calculation are the days of the week on which individual customers need to be visited.
