Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native OptimoRoute integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right OptimoRoute calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your OptimoRoute data, across all 17 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke OptimoRoute access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in OptimoRoute, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when OptimoRoute is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach OptimoRoute.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every OptimoRoute action to support review and sign off.

Get Route Details
Pull a deep dive into a single route including the sequence of stops and estimated travel time.
Update Driver Status
Change a driver to active, inactive, or on break to affect route availability.
Search Orders

Frequently asked questions

Ceven monitors the OptimoRoute API for changes to route sequences or stop statuses. When a driver completes a stop or a route is reoptimized, the agent captures the event and pushes that update to your connected tools. For example, if a driver marks a job as skipped, Ceven can automatically create a follow up task in your project management tool and email the customer to reschedule. This ensures that your office team does not have to manually poll the OptimoRoute dashboard to see what is happening in the field, making the flow of information seamless from the driver to the back office.
Yes. You can build a workflow that triggers the optimize routes action based on a schedule or a specific event. For instance, you can set the agent to trigger optimization every day at 6 AM or whenever five new orders are added to the queue. The agent calls the optimization endpoint and then waits for the process to finish before pulling the resulting routes to send notifications to your drivers. This removes the need for a human dispatcher to manually click the optimize button every morning, ensuring your drivers start their day with the most efficient paths possible.
Ceven interacts with the API regardless of your internal driver groupings, but it respects the permissions set in your OptimoRoute account. If your account is on a tier that limits the number of active drivers, the agent will only be able to pull and assign routes to the drivers currently active in your subscription. If you attempt to push an order to a driver who is not active or exceeds your seat limit, the API will return an error which Ceven captures. The agent can then alert you via Slack or email that you need to adjust your driver count or seat assignments.
Ceven does not perform native address validation but can integrate with a third party tool like Google Maps or SmartyStreets before calling the OptimoRoute create order action. A typical workflow involves the agent taking a raw address from a form, passing it through a validation service to get clean coordinates, and then pushing those coordinates into OptimoRoute. This prevents the optimization engine from failing due to typos or non existent addresses, which would otherwise leave orders unassigned and cause delays in your delivery schedule for the day.
Ceven can update driver status and shift parameters via the API to ensure the optimizer accounts for downtime. You can create a workflow where a driver sends a specific keyword via SMS, and the agent updates their status to on break in OptimoRoute. This immediately removes them from the available pool for new orders. You can also sync shift calendars from Google Calendar to OptimoRoute, allowing the agent to set driver availability windows automatically so that the optimizer never assigns a stop to a driver who is not on the clock.
OptimoRoute imposes rate limits on API calls to ensure system stability. When Ceven encounters a rate limit error, it employs an exponential backoff strategy, meaning it will wait for a short period and then retry the request. For high volume accounts pushing thousands of orders, we recommend batching orders into a single call where possible. If the limit is consistently hit, the agent will log a warning in your workflow history and notify the admin. This prevents data loss and ensures that every order eventually makes it into the route planning system.
Ceven can retrieve completed route data and stop history to feed into your reporting tools. By pulling the planned arrival time versus the actual completion time from OptimoRoute, the agent can calculate driver efficiency and push those metrics into a Google Sheet or a data warehouse. This allows you to analyze performance trends over time and adjust your time window estimates for customers. Because the agent can handle the pagination of large data sets, you can pull historical data for entire months to conduct deep dives into operational bottlenecks.
Yes. You can set up a search workflow that looks for unassigned orders every hour. When the agent finds an order without a driver, it can check for available drivers with the lightest load or flag the order for a human dispatcher. If the order is high priority, the agent can trigger a reoptimization of all routes to see if the stop can fit into an existing driver path. This ensures that no customer is forgotten and that every single order is accounted for before the drivers leave the depot.
