Delopt delivery dispatch

Look up coordinates and a short street address for a free-text address. Include the postcode in the address: it helps a lot. Check `precise`: when false, only a town or street was matched and the coordinates are an approximate area centre. Check `routable` too: false means Delopt has no road data for that place yet and plans there are refused.

The caller's Delopt plan and what is left of it: vehicle and rate limits, today's address lookups, the free trial and how to upgrade. Use it when a plan is refused for a limit, or when the user asks about their plan, trial or remaining lookups. It spends no lookups.

Plan which vehicle delivers which orders, in what order, and when each vehicle leaves the depot, minimising customer waiting time. Built for live dispatch through a busy shift, where orders keep arriving and each driver goes out many times. Call it again whenever new orders come in or a driver returns, with every order not yet sent out. Dispatch only each vehicle's first run: later runs are a look-ahead the next call revises. Every order is assigned, so the vehicles' combined capacity (times max_deliveries_per_vehicle) must cover all orders. Returns per-vehicle stop lists with ETAs and each order's wait versus its target, plus headline KPIs. The plan is a recommendation: nothing is stored or sent to drivers. The plan minimises how long customers wait, with an extra cost per minute an order is late. Far orders get a little more time than their wait target (distance_grace_minutes in the result). Set freshness to the user's kind of goods (hot meals, iced coffee, ...) to keep sensitive orders' rides short. The defaults suit same-day food delivery.

A driver is leaving the depot now with these orders: find the best visiting sequence and each order's ETA. The orders must fit the vehicle's capacity. To decide which orders a driver should take, use plan_deliveries instead. Nothing is stored or sent to the driver.

Ask the Delopt team for a plan with more vehicles than the largest self-serve plan allows (8). For up to 8 vehicles, upgrading the plan is enough, so nothing is sent: the answer says which plan fits. Asking again updates the open request. The team follows up with the account's email address.
