Integrating 1C-Bitrix with route optimization services

Integration of 1C-Bitrix with Route Optimization Services

Route optimization services — specialized APIs that accept a list of delivery points and return the optimal order of visits. Popular ones: Yandex.Routing, Route4Me, Routific, OptimoRoute, Google OR-Tools (self-hosted). Integration with Bitrix — a two-way pipeline: order data goes to optimizer, ready routes come back.

Choosing an optimization service

Integration architecture

The workflow looks like this:

1. Morning agent collects today's orders with "To deliver" status from b_sale_order
2. Forms list of points with addresses, coordinates and time windows
3. Sends API request to optimizer
4. Saves routes to bl_delivery_routes
5. Assigns drivers through CRM or manually
6. On delivery completion, webhook from optimizer updates order statuses

Common interface for working with optimizers

Implement adapter pattern — one interface, multiple implementations:

interface RouteOptimizerInterface
{
    public function optimize(array $depot, array $vehicles, array $orders): array;
}

class YandexRouteOptimizer implements RouteOptimizerInterface
{
    public function optimize(array $depot, array $vehicles, array $orders): array
    {
        $payload = [
            'depot'    => $depot,
            'vehicles' => $vehicles,
            'orders'   => array_map(fn($o) => [
                'id'           => (string)$o['order_id'],
                'point'        => ['lat' => $o['lat'], 'lon' => $o['lon']],
                'time_window'  => [$o['time_from'], $o['time_to']],
                'service_duration' => 300,  // 5 minutes per point
            ], $orders),
        ];

        $http = new \Bitrix\Main\Web\HttpClient();
        $http->setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        $http->setHeader('X-Ya-Courier-Request-Id', uniqid());

        $response = $http->post(
            'https://courier.yandex.ru/api/v1/companies/' . $this->companyId . '/routes',
            json_encode($payload)
        );

        return json_decode($response, true);
    }
}

class Route4MeOptimizer implements RouteOptimizerInterface
{
    public function optimize(array $depot, array $vehicles, array $orders): array
    {
        // Route4Me-specific logic
    }
}

Concrete implementation is selected via factory method, configured in b_option.

Transforming order data

Key point — correct transformation of Bitrix data into optimizer API format. Address must be geocoded to coordinates (if not done at order), time windows — converted to optimizer format:

function buildOrderPoint(\Bitrix\Sale\Order $order): array
{
    $props = $order->getPropertyCollection();

    return [
        'order_id' => $order->getId(),
        'lat'      => (float)$props->getItemByOrderPropertyCode('LAT')?->getValue(),
        'lon'      => (float)$props->getItemByOrderPropertyCode('LON')?->getValue(),
        'time_from' => $this->toUnix($props->getItemByOrderPropertyCode('DELIVERY_TIME_FROM')?->getValue()),
        'time_to'   => $this->toUnix($props->getItemByOrderPropertyCode('DELIVERY_TIME_TO')?->getValue()),
        'weight_kg' => $this->getBasketWeight($order->getBasket()),
        'volume_m3' => $this->getBasketVolume($order->getBasket()),
        'priority'  => (int)$props->getItemByOrderPropertyCode('DELIVERY_PRIORITY')?->getValue(),
    ];
}

Saving and displaying routes

Structure of bl_delivery_routes table:

route_id        — ID from optimizer
route_date      — delivery date
vehicle_id      — vehicle ID
driver_id       — CRM contact of driver
stops_json      — JSONB ordered list of stops
total_distance  — total mileage in km
estimated_time  — estimated time in minutes
status          — planned / in_progress / completed
created_at

Route is displayed on map in admin section via Yandex.Maps API or Leaflet.js. Driver — link with waypoints.

Updating order statuses

On delivery completion at a point, optimizer (or driver via mobile app) sends event. Bitrix webhook updates specific order status:

// /bitrix/route_webhook.php
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);

foreach ($data['completed_stops'] as $stop) {
    $order = \Bitrix\Sale\Order::load((int)$stop['order_id']);
    if ($order) {
        $order->setField('STATUS_ID', 'F');
        $order->save();
        // Send customer delivery notification email
    }
}

Implementation timelines by scale

What we configure

• RouteOptimizerInterface with adapters for needed services
• Agent for collecting orders and sending to optimizer on business day morning
• bl_delivery_routes table for storing routes and statuses
• Route map in admin section
• Webhook for updating order statuses on delivery completion
