Trusted by operators who own the delivery promise

BENEFITS

Automatically plan routes that work in the real world

Support drivers without sacrificing productivity

Meet break requirements and driver wellbeing while keeping routes efficient and on schedule.

Increase planning efficiency

Replace manual adjustments and last-minute fixes with standardized break planning that scales cleanly across routes, regions, and teams.

Keep delivery promises

Plan routes that account for driver breaks so ETAs stay reliable and customer commitments don’t slip enroute.

CAPABILITIES

Plan compliant routes automatically

Automatically account for driver breaks in every route

Routes are planned with required driver breaks built in from the start—reducing last-minute adjustments, missed commitments, and manual rework.

Protect ETA accuracy and delivery predictability

Break time is included when calculating stop timing and ETAs, so plans reflect real operating conditions and customer commitments remain reliable.

Optimize routes without trading efficiency for compliance

Breaks are treated as planned time constraints during optimization, balancing compliance requirements with route efficiency and asset utilization.

Avoid detours that add cost and variability

Breaks can be placed along the way to the next stop, preserving routing quality while minimizing unnecessary mileage and schedule disruption.

CAPABILITIES

Apply break policies without losing flexibility

Standardize break policies across your operation

Routes are planned with required driver breaks built in from the start—reducing last-minute adjustments, missed commitments, and manual rework.

Support complex requirements on longer routes

Apply multiple break rules cumulatively on extended routes, ensuring compliance even as route length and duty time increase.

Exclude breaks where they add no operational value

Optionally prevent break planning in specific scenarios, such as return legs, to avoid unnecessary stops and inefficiencies.

Retain control when plans need to change

Dispatchers can add or reposition breaks when real-world conditions change, without undermining the integrity of the overall route plan.

Driver-ready and auditable

Clear guidance for drivers, traceability for the business

Planned breaks are communicated directly to drivers as part of their route, with clear timing context that supports adherence and safer working conditions. Break planning and execution are preserved as records to support operational review, compliance verification, and ESG reporting needs.

Fewer "where is my order" calls

“We're a flower company, not a logistics company. Mover didn't just give us software - they brought logistics expertise that complemented our own team.”

Less loading dock waiting time

"It used to be a messy operation. Now everything is sequenced, and the dock runs the way a production line should."

Asbjørn Hansen

Site Manager, Brød Cooperativet

Lower last-mile transportation cost

"I would say Mover's TMS has been instrumental in driving customer satisfaction and cost reductions in our operations."

Lars Rasmussen

Commercial Director, Coop

"Our customers are on construction sites, and their time is tight. Mover's transparency and automated updates cut down on the 'where's my delivery' calls significantly, and it's made SLA compliance and our ESG reporting far easier to manage. We've been with Mover since 2016 and haven't looked back."

Esben Jansen

VP Operations, Solar Danmark

"Our previous system dated back to 2003, and our operation has far outgrown its capabilities. We needed a partner who could handle our real constraints, crucial time windows, driver continuity for elderly citizens who expect the same face at the door, and a compliance assurance. Mover was the first system that felt built to fit how we actually operate, not the other way around."

Distribution Director, Det Danske Madhus

Frequently asked questions

Does break planning force tradeoffs between compliance and efficiency?

No. Driver breaks are planned as part of optimization rather than added later, allowing routes to remain efficient while meeting regional driver break requirements. This avoids the typical tradeoff between compliance, SLA adherence and productivity.

How flexible is break planning when operations change mid-day?

Planned driver breaks can be configured to automatically adjust when real-world conditions change, without requiring routes to be rebuilt from scratch. This preserves operational control while keeping plans coherent and predictable.

Can break policies support different regulations or operating models?

Yes. Break requirements can be configured to reflect different driving thresholds, durations, and route characteristics, supporting variation across regions, fleets, and operating standards.

How do drivers experience planned breaks in practice?

Breaks appear directly in the driver’s route with clear timing context, helping drivers understand when breaks occur and what comes next without relying on ad-hoc communication or manual coordination.

What evidence is available for review or reporting?

Driver break planning and execution are preserved as records, enabling operational review and supporting compliance verification and ESG reporting related to driver working conditions.
