Transform your logistics operations with instant, accurate distance calculations directly in Excel
“We had to calculate delivery distances for hundreds of customer addresses across all our regional hubs — and it had to be done before the end of the day. The routing tools we looked at were expensive, and doing it manually in Excel would’ve taken days. We were stuck.”
That was Jason Miller, a logistics coordinator for a national medical supply company. His team was under pressure to plan routes efficiently but couldn’t justify spending thousands on specialized mapping software. Like many logistics teams, they relied heavily on Excel — but calculating distances between addresses wasn’t something Excel could easily do on its own.
Then Jason discovered he could use an Excel-integrated Google Maps distance calculator to automate the entire process. Within an hour, he had all the delivery distances computed, routes optimized, and a clear report ready to share. The company finished the project on time and saved over $11,000 by avoiding the annual cost of commercial routing tools.
