Could you build this?
Partial While an AI dispatching interface is simple to vibe-code, real-world industrial logistics routing requires solving complex Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) with specific municipal constraints, truck capacities, and live traffic telemetry.
What it would actually take: A production version combines a Next.js operations dispatch dashboard with a robust operations research solver (e.g., Google OR-Tools, VROOM, or specialized linear programming solvers) coupled to real-time GPS telemetry from fleet ELD devices. The hardest parts are handling multi-trip routing with disposal site wait times, dynamic container weights, and tight time windows without hallucinations or infeasible routes. Building this requires engineers with deep operations research and geospatial routing expertise.
