Matrix API
Distance & Time Calculations at Scale
Calculate travel times and distances between multiple locations efficiently. Essential for logistics optimization, service area analysis, and location-based decision making.
Delivery Hub to Customers
Calculate distances and travel times from a single warehouse to multiple delivery locations. Perfect for optimizing last-mile delivery routes and estimating delivery time windows for customers.
- 1 warehouse → 5 customer locations
- Real-time distance and duration calculation
- Multiple travel modes supported
Field Agents to Office
Determine travel distances and times from multiple field locations to a central office. Ideal for calculating commute times, optimizing service territories, or scheduling on-site visits.
- 5 field agents → 1 central office
- Millisecond response for complex calculations
- Optimize territory assignments
Full Route Optimization Matrix
Generate a complete distance matrix between all locations for advanced route optimization. Essential for solving vehicle routing problems, TSP challenges, and multi-stop delivery planning.
- Process up to 100×100 location matrices
- Efficient computation for large datasets
- Powers advanced optimization algorithms
