What it is

ODL Studio is a free, standalone desktop application for customer-location analysis, sales territory design and fleet routing and scheduling. It stores data in Excel spreadsheets that can also be edited in Excel. The software geocodes addresses or postcodes, displays customers on a map and exports maps to PDF or Word. Users can paint territories on a map or generate them with an optimisation algorithm, then create reports with maps and territory statistics. For fleet planning, it schedules routes on real road networks, reports mileage and drive-time statistics, and shows routes on an interactive map. ODL Connect can call Studio functions from the command line for scheduled or on-demand background tasks, but it is a separate closed-source module. ODL Studio is free and open source under LGPL, with downloads listed for Windows, Linux and Mac. The Linux and Mac package requires Java Runtime 8 or higher, and the maker recommends at least 6 GB RAM and a dual-processor CPU. The downloads page lists version 1.4.1, released 3 November 2017.
