We’ve just released ODL Connect - a tool which lets you call ODL Studio functionality from the command line. It is designed to let you embed ODL Studio into larger systems, so you can run route optimisation or other tasks in the background either on-demand or at regular intervals (using Windows Task Scheduler or the Linux Cron command). Your external system calls ODL Connect when it needs to perform an ODL Studio task.

ODL Connect is 100% compatible with existing ODL Studio functionality so you can - for example - run route optimisation in the background and then load the generated vehicle routes into ODL Studio later-on if you need to perform further analysis.
