TURN HOURS OF ROUTE PLANNING INTO MINUTES

Smart Planning

Smart Planning is Luminar Works' route optimization module. It takes route building off your plate, a morning of manual work becomes a quick review. The routes it produces are optimized to reduce travel and waiting times, ensuring that efficiency extends to the field, not just the planning desk.

Includes

Optimization you control

Import your tasks, review what's included, and optimize when you're ready. The engine takes the work out of building routes — without taking the control out of your hands.

Priority sequencing

Flag your urgent or high-value tasks, and the optimizer weighs them against distance and timing — so what matters most is handled without unravelling the rest of the route.

Objective tuned for you

Some operations need to minimize distance, others to minimize time. The optimizer pursues the right balance for your operation automatically, sequencing every route to cut travel and waiting.

Capacities, respected

Each resource's capacity is a hard limit — the optimizer never builds a route that exceeds them.

Windows and availability, respected

Service windows, cutoffs, appointment times, and each resource's own availability — the optimizer plans around all of them automatically.

Works with your other modules

Add Multi-day Planning or Size Up and the optimizer takes them fully into account — planning across a multi-day horizon and within every capacity limit, all in the same pass.

What changes when you stop planning by hand.

Routes that hold up

Every route is designed to respect your priorities, windows, and availability while working through combinations that no one has time to check manually.

The heavy lifting, gone

You stop assembling routes stop by stop. Bring your tasks in, run the optimizer, and review a plan that's already built.

Your mornings back

Planning stops being the thing you do before the real work begins. Optimize, publish, and get on with running your business.

Requires Luminar Core as the base platform

Start free and upgrade when planning becomes the bottleneck. Add more as your operation grows, start with Smart Planning and add Multi-day Planning and Size Up as complexity grows.

Multi-day Planning

Plan the whole week at once

Plan up to 7 continuous days in a single session, balancing workload across the full horizon. Keeps any resource from being booked into overlapping trips, even across days.

Size Up

Multiple limits, balanced routes

Track up to 3 capacity dimensions at once, so routes stay balanced and conflict-free during planning. Improves utilization across your resources and routes.

Questions worth asking before you start.

Is Smart Planning included when I sign up?

When you sign up with up to 5 resources, you get every module — Smart Planning included — free for your 30-day trial, even on a free Luminar Core account. Nothing's locked behind a paywall while you explore. Start with more than 5 resources and you're straight onto a paid plan, so the trial doesn't apply. When the trial ends, keep the modules you want by subscribing, or do nothing and settle into Luminar Core — free, forever, for up to 5 resources.

Do I keep my Luminar Core data when I activate Smart Planning?

Yes. Your resources, routes, and plan history stay exactly where they are. Activating Smart Planning adds the optimization engine on top of your existing setup — nothing migrates, resets, or breaks.

Can I downgrade Smart Planning later?

Yes — downgrade anytime. Your Luminar Core base and any other active modules keep working. If you upgrade to Smart Planning again later, your saved constraints and settings are still there.

Can I still manually adjust routes after Smart Planning generates them?

Yes. Smart Planning generates the route — you decide what to do with it. Drag stops to resequence, swap resources, or override routing decisions at any point. The optimizer is a starting point, not a lock-in. You are in control.

Does Smart Planning replace my dispatcher?

No. Smart Planning reduces the time spent manually building routes — it doesn’t replace operational decision-making. Dispatchers still handle exceptions, customer communication, driver coordination, and real-world judgment calls. Most teams find that their dispatcher becomes more effective with Smart Planning, not less needed.
