JOpt.TourOptimizer vs. Planka Comparison Chart

Pros

• We used JOpt TourOptimizer at our vocational school to plan teacher visits to students during their mandatory internships. The planning situation was quite complex, as we had to consider many different constraints at the same time like fixed appointments, time windows, preferred visits, mandatory visits, distances between companies, teacher availability, and individual scheduling restrictions. JOpt handled this level of complexity very well. The solution produced realistic, efficient tour plans that were easy to understand and actually workable in practice. What we particularly appreciated was the flexibility in defining constraints and priorities, which allowed us to model our real-world requirements very accurately. In addition, the team at DNA was extremely supportive. They actively helped us set up the solution and answered our questions in a very practical and solution-oriented way.
