Abstract: The software product AntRoute is developed by AntOptima, a spin off company of the Swiss Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence IDSIA, Istituto Dalle Molle di Studi sull'Intelligenza Artificiale. IDSIA is one of the leading Institutes in Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), a powerful method to solve different types of combinatorial optimization problems, especially vehicle routing. The developed algorithms are among the best currently worldwide available and they have found new best-known solutions for many benchmark instances. With AntRoute AntOptima implements this technology for Logistics provider to speed up their business in terms of time and efficiency. The integrated high performance Tour Optimizer of AntRoute based on ACO and is automatically able to optimize thousands of daily orders in a few minutes considering the company related constraints like truck fleet, client time windows, unit load, access limitation, etc. The Tour Optimizer can be adapted to the needs of the most transportation industries, how different AntRoute implementations demonstrate
