Map Your Portfolio: Travel Route Optimisation & Site Location Management

Facilities management portfolios often span large geographic areas — sometimes hundreds of sites across a state or country. Technicians, managers, and auditors travel between these sites daily, and inefficient routing wastes hours of productive time each week. At the portfolio level, understanding the geographic distribution of your sites reveals coverage gaps, clustering opportunities, and regional service delivery challenges that are invisible in a spreadsheet.

Travel route optimisation with OpenStreetMap

The travel route optimiser uses OpenStreetMap data to calculate optimal visit sequences across your sites. Input your site list with GPS coordinates, set your maximum visits per day, and optionally specify a start location. The tool applies a nearest-neighbour heuristic to minimise total travel distance and groups sites into daily routes. For a technician visiting 8 sites per day, route optimisation typically reduces total travel by 20-30% compared to ad-hoc scheduling. The results include turn-by-turn distances, estimated drive times, and a map view showing the optimised route with numbered stops.

Site location management and clustering

The site location manager plots your entire portfolio on an interactive map, colour-coded by region, site type, or any custom attribute. Geographic clustering analysis identifies natural groupings of sites that could share resources — technicians, cleaning crews, or security patrols. Coverage gap analysis highlights areas where sites are isolated from the nearest service hub, which may require different resourcing models or contractor arrangements. For portfolio managers evaluating new site acquisitions, the map instantly shows how a proposed site fits into the existing geographic footprint.

Asset location mapping

Beyond site-level mapping, the asset location mapper plots individual assets within and across sites. This is particularly useful for infrastructure portfolios where assets like substations, pump stations, or communication towers are distributed across a wide area. Condition-based heat maps overlay asset condition scores onto the geographic view, revealing spatial patterns — for example, assets in coastal zones deteriorating faster than inland equivalents. Maintenance zone planning uses asset density and condition data to define logical service zones that balance workload across field teams.

Get started

Upload your site list with latitude and longitude columns to the Travel Route Optimiser. Even a basic site register with addresses can be geocoded and optimised. For portfolio-wide visibility, the site location manager and asset mapper provide the geographic intelligence that spreadsheets simply cannot deliver.
