Icepack Routing engine
Performance

Built for industry. Measured in production.

In commercial service since 2019, powering daily dispatch behind enterprise TMS platforms and national fleets. Every figure on this page comes directly from the production usage database, measuring real customer workloads, solve latencies and peak throughput across the current rolling 22-month telemetry window.

Solve time

Optimisation at speed.

When the daily plan takes half an hour to solve, planners get one run before cut-off and live with whatever comes back. When it solves in seconds, they can lock a stop, change a rule or add a late order and re-solve on the spot, working with the engine instead of around it.

Partner workloads

Four workload patterns in production.

Over 99% of production volume arrives machine-to-machine from commercial TMS and fleet platforms running daily dispatch for their own customer fleets. The table below shows problem scale, solve time and production volume across the four workload patterns fleets run on the engine.

Total routes returned

Total stops sequenced
33.4 million vehicle stops and kerbside collections sequenced on the road network.
Plan evaluation (Evaluate)
Over 11,000 existing plans scored in production at a 0.13 s median, returning exact road-network costs and flagging every broken rule.
Validation and diagnostics
Malformed payloads are rejected at the gateway with an explicit error; any unscheduled stop returns with the exact rule that blocked it.
Service record

Driving fleet plans since 2019.

Commercial production began in 2019. Since then, the engine has planned daily operations across these nine sectors in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa, with continental Europe in rollout.
