Unified VRP API Optimization: Enhancing Salesforce Field Service Lightning for Advanced Logistics Management

Abstract

This paper introduces the Unified Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) API, a new integration of dynamic logistics optimization into Salesforce Field Service Lightning (FSL). Using advanced algorithms and a scalable microservices architecture, this product improves route efficiency, reduces operational costs, and enhances the customer experience by catering to instantaneous logistics changes. This, combined with the capabilities of "plug-in" access to real-time working data streams across multiple data sources that are simply made available through the API services, would represent a dramatic improvement in the responsiveness, efficiency, and accuracy of enterprise logistics workings using statically routed implementations of the past.
