How to match drivers to routes - location optimizer?

Question

Hello,

I am involved in a charity project where drivers all make pickups from the same single location, then make deliveries to two locations each, and then return to their homes.

Is it possible to use Alteryx to match each driver to the optimal two locations, while also factoring in their home address end point?

I see there is a location optimizer, but I'm unsure if this is the correct approach.  I am very new to Alteryx.

Thanks for any insight anyone can provide!

Hi @aj73lsdf ,

Assuming that your aim is to assign each driver the delivery locations closer to their homes, the point to start I think is the spatial tools category. There is a tool called Find Nearest, that allows you to find the nearest points from a target.

You can check the examples prepped by Alteryx to find out more about this tool.

Hope that helps,
