Route planning
Sequence the whole day before the first van leaves
Bring in your stops, set the windows that matter, and Hikyaku orders them into one efficient run — out from the depot, through every drop. Then it goes straight to the driver app.

A sample run — six drops across Asakusa, ordered from the depot.
From a list to a route
Bring in the stops
Upload a spreadsheet, add them by hand, or let orders arrive from your booking page. Each one keeps its address and promised time.
Set what's fixed
Where the van starts and ends, how much it carries, and the window each recipient was promised.
Optimise and send
Hikyaku orders the stops into the shortest workable run and pushes it to the driver app, turn by turn.
What the optimiser weighs
The shortest route on paper isn't always the one you can run. Hikyaku balances the things that decide whether a day actually finishes on time.
Delivery windows
Every stop lands inside the time its recipient was promised — not just somewhere on the route.
Depot start and return
The run begins and ends where the van actually does, so the first and last legs count.
What the van carries
Stops are ordered against vehicle capacity, so a route never asks for more than fits.
Changes mid-plan
Drag a stop, drop one, or add a late order — the rest of the run re-times around it.
