Abstract

With the advancement of technology, the market has become increasingly competitive, and companies are seeking to improve themselves to better serve their customers. Good routing planning has become essential for optimizing logistical costs, especially for transport companies. These costs can amount to 59% of the organization's total costs. This paper aims to analyze the vehicle routing process of a company located in the city of Araguaína, Tocantins, which has been operating for over 20 years in the transport sector. The present study conducted a bibliographical survey in specialized literature and applied a questionnaire, followed by an interview, to collect primary data. The results obtained show that companies are increasingly concerned with market competition, resulting in the demand for software that meets corporate needs. The company in question uses Google Maps as a tool to assist in the routing process for a more efficient planning of routes, in addition to relying on the help and experience of the drivers themselves. This tool allows the creation of routes in a simple way and at an affordable cost.
