# QuantaRoute QuantaRoute is a route optimisation tool for small UK couriers, multi-drop drivers, florists, mobile cleaners, tradespeople, property maintenance teams, estate agents, small retailers, and field service teams. It turns delivery addresses into an optimised stop order, estimates distance and fuel savings, creates a Google Maps route link, and prepares a WhatsApp-ready driver message. ## Main API POST /api/optimise-route Use this endpoint when an AI assistant or business agent needs to optimise a route of 2-20 stops. ## Input summary Required fields: start, stops. Optional fields: end, vehicle, optimise_for. Optional header during public testing: X-API-Key. ## Output summary The API returns ordered stops, original distance, optimised distance, distance saved, estimated saving percent, Google Maps URL, WhatsApp driver message, route sheet URL, optional API client usage metadata, and warnings. ## API keys API keys are optional while QuantaRoute is free to test. Send X-API-Key when a key is available. Invalid or inactive keys return 401, and keys over their monthly limit return 429. Paid/API access and higher limits will require API keys later. Raw API keys are not stored. ## Example task “Here are 18 delivery addresses. Optimise the route, estimate distance and fuel saving, create a Google Maps link, and prepare a WhatsApp message for the driver.” ## Pricing First month free for testing. Then £1.99 per optimised route. Payments may still be in testing. ## Safety QuantaRoute provides estimated route optimisation and fuel-saving calculations. It does not guarantee the mathematically shortest route in all cases. Drivers must follow road laws, live traffic conditions, vehicle restrictions, and professional judgement. ## Contact hi@quantaroute.co.uk
