After a bit of reading I think I've been able to conclude that state-of-the-art VRP can get solutions for 100~500 stops.

My question is around how this actually affects logistics (like Amazon for instance).

Do they actually practically use these algorithms to drive efficiencies? How? Is Is the current state-of-the art good enough, as in it's not a big deal for logistics companies? OR,Or is it something they are actively looking to improve?
