About

Use our web services to add route planning, navigation and traffic aware route optimization to your application in the food delivery industry or for traveling salesmen. We help you optimize the routes in your logistics, GIS, or real estate software. We offer fair, effort-based pricing with the use of a scalable architecture and resource-efficient routing software. Use the GraphHopper Directions API for any use case (including commercial usage, vehicle tracking and navigation applications) on any map you like. With our RESTful web service, you can integrate routing into your application without any knowledge about the complex algorithms behind it. There is no end user application, instead, we help you build the end user applications in the industries and countries that you know best. All our routing and geocoding services are powered by OpenStreetMap data, and therefore cover the entire world. To support this effort, we are a proud member of the OpenStreetMap Foundation.

About

Kardinal is a route optimization API for developers and logistics teams that need to model real operations, not just sequence stops. It solves complex multi-stop, multi-vehicle routing under real-world constraints: time windows, capacities, multi-depot, multi-temperature fleets, pickup and delivery, skip handling and driver rules. In an open benchmark of 149 constraints, Kardinal expresses 93%, the widest coverage of the eleven engines tested. It re-optimizes live plans without rebuilding from scratch, and returns deterministic, reproducible results. Integrate it through a self-serve API with a developer console, strongly typed SDKs and clear docs. Pricing is public, per optimized stop and among the most competitive on the market, re-optimizations free within 24h, with a free tier to test on your own data, no sales call. Built to be called by AI agents too, via an MCP server and machine-readable documentation. Recognized in the 2026 Gartner Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduli
