What im looking for is a program that can make a schedule for me that I am doing manually right now.
What I have is I get number of destinations where I need to pick up people from at certain time and then drive them to another place by certain time.
Example from regular day.
I have 100 pickups/drops to make and I have 5 drivers. I need to crate a schedule for each that will have shortest time spend on pick up and will not keep drivers not occupied.
So lets say Tom need to pick up client #1 from point A at 5am and bring him to Point B by 5:25am and then pick up who ever is closest to him from the list of destinations. And drop them to their destination. And so on.
So what I need is software that I can put names (amount of drivers that I have on that day) and amounts of drops off and pick ups. And create a schedule for them that will keep them busy all the time and that each driver will pick up clients that are closer to him at that point of time.
So it need to calculate all the distances and assign add drivers to them.
Amount of drivers and works changes and drop off points and destinations do too.
Right now I do schedules by hand and I need assistance with it.
Please feel free to ask me any questions and I don’t know ever if its possible to make anything like that.
Thank you

I get my schedules in excel files. If it can be done in excel its fine. Other then that I don’t care about format. As long as I can input all info at the same time not one by one.
All I need are the fields that will alive me to put changing variables, like drivers, and address for pick up.
