New Feature: Neighbor relation

Directions API Route Optimization API
1

There is a new feature. It’s kind of like the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to relations. With relations, orders and groups of orders can be put in relation to each other. For example that order A gets in the route planning directly before order B or that the group with critical orders is processed directly at the beginning of a route. With this feature you can define that two orders or two groups of orders must be neighbors.

If 2 individual orders are to be neighbors, it can be defined like this:

"relations": [
    {
      "type": "neighbor",
      "ids": [
        "order_A",
        "order_B"
      ]
    }
  ]

If 2 groups of orders should be neighbors, it can be specified like this:

"relations": [
    {
      "type": "neighbor",
      "groups": [
        "A",
        "B"
      ]
    }
  ]

Here are two examples you can try directly in Postman or our Route Editor:

Have fun planning your routes!
