What does this calculator measure?+
The average number of delivery or service stops a driver or route completes per hour, a common productivity metric in last-mile delivery and field service operations.
What inputs are needed?+
The total number of stops completed on a route and the total time taken to complete the route (or a specific portion of it), in hours.
How is it calculated?+
Divide total stops by total hours. A route with 40 stops completed over 8 hours averages 5 stops per hour.
Why might this number look artificially low or high?+
It depends heavily on what's included in the time figure — if it includes breaks, loading time, or heavy traffic delays, the rate will look lower than pure driving-and-delivering time would suggest, so be consistent about what's counted.
How is this useful for route planning?+
Comparing stops-per-hour across routes, drivers, or time periods helps identify which routes are inefficient (too much drive time between stops) versus which are well-optimized, informing better route design and realistic scheduling.
