FAQ

Route planning software costs

Fleet planning

What does route planning software cost?

Basic planning often starts around EUR 18,000 excl. VAT; dynamic replanning, time windows and multiple depots increase scope.

How does fleet size affect the estimate?

More vehicles create more simultaneous constraints, orders and optimisation combinations that require performance engineering.

What is dynamic route planning?

It recalculates routes when orders, delays or vehicle availability change during the operating day.

Björn Groenewold – Geschäftsführer Groenewold IT Solutions

Digitise dispatch

We assess orders, constraints and integrations.

Optimisation and apps

Which data does route optimisation require?

Reliable addresses, service times, capacities, driver skills, time windows and depot rules are essential.

When does a driver app need offline support?

Offline support protects status, photos and signatures where mobile coverage is unreliable.

Where is the solution developed?

Groenewold IT delivers Made in Germany from Leer, East Frisia, with direct feedback from dispatchers and drivers.

Typical pricing models (overview)

Comparison: typical pricing models for software and IT projects
ModelWhen it fitsBudget & flexibilityTypical risks
Fixed price (fixed scope)Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery.Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order.Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs.
Time & MaterialDiscovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration.Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates.Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter.
Retainer / maintenance packageOngoing operations, updates, small features, and support.Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost.Large changes may still need a separate estimate.
Hybrid (milestone + T&M)MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate.Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis.Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work.

Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
