Route and Journey Intelligence APIs
Convert a list of customer visits into an efficient, measurable field journey. Route and Journey Intelligence APIs give your application distance and travel time, routes, optimised multi-stop visit sequences, many-to-many distance matrices and reachability areas.
What it enables
Transform raw geographic coordinates into actionable, optimized field itineraries and real-time travel intelligence.
Get distance in metres and estimated duration in seconds between waypoints with the Distance API, or the full path with total time and length from the Route API.
The Route API returns the travelable path between two or more stops, in the order given, with route geometry and turn-by-turn instructions. The documentation examples cover driving and walking.
Send an unordered list of stops and get back the most efficient order to visit them. The first stop is the start, and each returned stop keeps its original position so you can map the new sequence back to your visit list.
Compare the route you planned with the journey your field teams actually travelled. Use it together with Tracking SDK, which captures journey data inside your mobile application.
Use the Route Matrix API to compare distance and travel time from many starting points to many candidates, for example to find the nearest option. Use the Isochrone API to see the area reachable within a given travel time or distance.
Travel times from the Route, Distance and Route Matrix APIs give operations teams the numbers to plan the day.
Route and journey APIs
Six REST APIs cover routing, distance, matrices, visit sequencing, reachability and road snapping.
Drivable path and geometry: the travelable path between two or more stops, in the order given.
Get: encoded route path per leg, turn-by-turn instructions, total time and length, and toll/highway flags.
Distance and travel time between waypoints. Lighter than the Route API when you only need the numbers.
Get: distance in metres and duration in seconds, with one leg per consecutive pair of waypoints.
Many-to-many distance matrix: distance and travel time between a set of origins and destinations in one request.
Get: one row per source, with distance and time for each target.
Optimal visit sequencing: the most efficient order to visit an unordered list of stops.
Get: stops in optimised order, legs between them and trip totals.
Realistic travel-time and travel-distance reachability polygons across road networks.
Get: one polygon per contour as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection.
Snap a point to the nearest road and read road details at that point.
Get: snapped position, road name, distance, speed limits, lane count and classification.
How it works
For Product and Operations Teams
Help employees spend more time with customers and less time travelling without a clear visit sequence.
For Developers
Use route, distance matrix and optimisation APIs to build daily plans, trip workflows, customer sequencing and service-allocation logic.
Where teams use Route and Journey Intelligence
See how operations teams integrate route intelligence into their core business workflows.
Make every field activity visible, verifiable and optimised. Daily visit plan, route guidance, live journey.
Help collection teams reach more customers with better daily planning. Location-based customer grouping & recommended visit sequence.
Ensure every kilometer travelled has a business purpose. Verified journey and distance, policy-based claim calculation.
Turn GPS and IoT device data into operational control. Compare planned versus actual trip distance.
Combine with maps, tracking and boundaries
Connect routing APIs with the full Intelomatic location suite for complete field visibility.
