Optimise a Delivery Route

Sequence 5 deliveries for a driver to minimise time and mileage.

The Scenario

A florist in Cape Town has one driver and 5 deliveries to make this morning. The system broke, and the deliveries are just listed in the order they were purchased. The driver needs a logical sequence to follow.

The Brief

Review the 5 delivery addresses and their required delivery windows (provided in the prompt context). Create an optimised delivery sequence.

Deliverables

  • The optimized delivery sequence (1 through 5)
  • A short rationale explaining why you chose this route (e.g., geographic clustering vs. time window priority)
  • A template SMS message to send to the 5th customer explaining their estimated time of arrival

Submission Guidance

Assume standard geographic knowledge or use Google Maps. Priority is hitting the promised time windows; secondary priority is saving fuel.
