Optimize Delivery Routes with Google Maps Workflow

Transform your delivery operations with this comprehensive n8n workflow that automatically converts addresses to GPS coordinates and creates optimized circular routes for each carrier using Google Maps integration.

What this workflow does

This automation streamlines your entire route planning process through intelligent address processing and optimization. The workflow converts delivery addresses into precise geographic coordinates using Google Maps APIs, then calculates the most efficient delivery sequence for each carrier. The result is an optimized circular route that starts and ends at your base location, ensuring maximum efficiency for your delivery operations.

The system seamlessly integrates with Google Sheets, allowing your logistics team to manage delivery data without additional software complexity. Deliveries are automatically grouped by carrier, providing each driver with their own dedicated optimized route.

Perfect for these use cases

• Logistics companies managing multi-carrier delivery networks
• Courier services optimizing daily route efficiency
• Delivery businesses reducing fuel costs and travel time
• Field service operations coordinating technician schedules
• Fleet management teams streamlining driver assignments
