In logistics, plans rarely survive unchanged once the wheels hit the road. Traffic, roadwork, and last-minute customer requests can derail even the most carefully planned route. For supply chain leaders running on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Business Central (BC), the challenge lies in enforcing the right level of control while giving drivers flexibility to adapt in real time.
RouteCTRL solves this with Configurable Route Sequencing, embedded directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365. Dispatchers define how strictly routes must be followed, while drivers can adapt based on live conditions.
RouteCTRL Route Sequence Settings
- Enforce Route Sequence
For strict stop orders for regulated deliveries, hazardous goods, or time-sensitive shipments. This prevents out-of-sequence starts. - Auto-Start First Leg
Automatically initiates the first leg once the driver begins the route in the Operator App. - Flexible Leg Start
Allows drivers to begin any leg, bypassing strict order when traffic or customer readiness demands adjustments. - Manual Resequencing
Drivers can reshuffle planned (not in-progress) stops directly in the Operator App. Resequencing updates expected delivery and pickup times instantly, keeping dispatch and customers aligned.
How the Settings Work Together
- Strict sequencing required: Enforce Route Sequence + Auto-Start First Leg.
- Flexible sequencing allowed enabling flexible start and/or resequencing independently.
All changes update planned ETAs and service windows in Dynamics 365, maintaining accurate customer commitments.
What This Means for Supply Chain Leaders
- Adapt on the go: Give drivers tools to reroute without losing control.
- Keep customers updated: Delivery times adjust automatically when plans change.
- Reduce dispatch overhead: Fewer manual interventions mean planners can focus on higher-value work.
- Support your drivers: Autonomy in the field keeps them engaged, efficient, and motivated
