Districting

Description

We developed a solution to assign sales territories to salespersons which maximize their combined profit. Additionally, we algorithmically determined optimal locations for central offices, while taking the working hours and the cost for establishing a central office into account. Our approach covered over 500 regions. Each salesperson should spend as much time as possible selling products and as little time as possible traveling.
