Smarter last-mile logistics,
powered by research
and real-world data.
At The Routing Lab, we turn optimisation research into practical tools that help delivery networks plan smarter, adapt faster and measure what truly matters.
Built on evidence. Tested in motion.
Who We Help
We collaborate with carriers, 3PLs and logistics operators facing today's delivery challenges – from rising volumes and emissions targets to driver shortages and urban congestion.
Our partners share one belief: that better data and smarter decisions can transform performance across the entire delivery network.
What We Deliver
Applied Research and Consultancy for Logistics Networks
Beyond software, The Routing Lab supports carriers, 3PLs and logistics operators through data-driven consultancy grounded in research and operational insight.
Our analytical services help organisations plan, forecast and optimise their logistics networks with evidence – not guesswork.
Depot Location Planning
Identify optimal depot sites using historical performance data, service coverage and demand forecasts.
Delivery Region Optimisation
Design balanced, static delivery zones that maximise fleet utilisation and ensure service reliability.
Resource Forecasting
Project fleet and staffing needs to handle seasonal volume changes and long-term growth.
Trusted by Logistics Innovators
We are proud to partner with leading delivery networks and organisations across Europe that share our focus on smarter, evidence-based logistics.

Our Approach to Innovation
We connect academic research with operational practice to deliver systems that learn, adapt and scale.
Evidence-Driven Algorithms
Developed and validated through applied research and live trials.
Practical Implementation
Designed in collaboration with logistics operators and technology partners.
Continuous Improvement
Built to evolve through feedback, data and performance results.
Our Technology
Meet AutoHiver – our first product, crafted from applied research and real-world trials.
AutoHiver is our first applied product – an intelligent optimisation platform for logistics operators.
Designed for carriers, 3PLs and urban delivery networks, it helps teams to plan and monitor operations with precision, translating complex algorithms into clear, practical performance gains.
Smarter delivery operations,
made practical.
AutoHiver turns applied optimisation research into day-to-day performance – plan faster, adapt in real-time and measure what matters.
Real-World Results
See how The Routing Lab helped leading delivery networks cut distance, streamline operations and scale smarter.
The Routing Lab analysed one full week of Zagreb deliveries, improving geocoding accuracy and replanning all routes.
The result: leaner routes, smoother operations and meaningful cost savings at scale.
A full network redesign for Budapest – consolidating depots, reassigning zones and rebalancing courier workloads.
The new footprint reduced structural waste, improved reach times and strengthened citywide efficiency.

Why Us
We connect academic research with operational practice to deliver systems that learn, adapt and scale.
We bring together researchers, engineers and logistics specialists to turn complex optimisation theory into practical solutions. By connecting academic innovation with measurable outcomes, we prove that logistics can learn, adapt and improve continuously.
Research-Driven Technology
Rooted in applied research, our work transforms optimisation theory into methods and tools that shape modern logistics.
Collaborative Innovation
We unite experts in computer science, data analytics and logistics to design smarter, evidence-based network solutions.
Real-World Validation
Every model and prototype is tested with real operators, real data and measurable performance benchmarks.
