Cadence-aware route optimisationfor field sales.
Lemmonade plans the week with the Intelligent Planning Algorithm, the IPA (yes, we know). It builds multi-day sales routes around visit cadence, priority and who is at risk, not just driving distance, and the solve runs on the device so it works with no signal.
Most route software optimises the wrong thing.
Distance is not the goal
The shortest route through the wrong venues is still a wasted day. Kilometres saved mean nothing if the account that was slipping never got a visit.
A week is not a trip
Single-run planners treat every day as day one. Real patches run on fortnightly and monthly cadences, and this week's plan only makes sense in the context of last week's.
Plans meet reality
A venue calls, a delivery slips, a visit runs long. A plan you cannot review, reorder and re-solve on the spot stops being followed by Tuesday.
How IPA plans the week.
IPA is a solver working from your account book. It reads what matters, builds the week, shows you everything, and hands each rep a day that survives the field.
- 1
It reads the book, not just the map
Visit cadence, account priority and at-risk status come first. IPA decides who belongs in the week before it thinks about the driving.
- 2
It builds the whole week
A multi-day plan across the date range you choose, spread around each account's cadence, your break windows and any constraints you set, with ETAs, drive time and an efficiency score per day.
- 3
You review before anything is saved
Review Routes shows every stop and every rep. Drag to reorder, move stops between days or reps, then Re-Solve to re-optimise around your calls. Unassigned stops are surfaced, not silently dropped.
- 4
It runs in the field, offline
The solve happens on the device. The day's route card, visit logging and orders keep working with no signal, and the plan can be pinned to Google Calendar.
What makes it different.
Multi-day, not one trip
IPA plans the week as one problem: today's route makes sense because of what is planned Thursday. Single-run tools cannot see past the current trip.
Cadence-aware, not distance-only
Who is due, who is a priority and who is at risk drive the plan. Driving distance is optimised after the right stops are chosen, not instead of choosing them.
Solves on the device
Replanning does not need a server or a signal. A rep on a country run can reshuffle the afternoon from the front seat, offline.
