Plan branch-level emptying time and quantity alongside available return capacity and added distance.

Short answer

Collect when and how many containers empty at each branch, then match them to return capacity on existing deliveries. For comparison, record returns per empty unit, added distance, holding conditions and any dedicated collection trips; calculate the result from actual route data.

Match empty-container returns to existing flows instead of dispatching separately by default.
