1. A delivery scheduling system for effectively and efficiently generating delivery routes and schedules between a delivery client and a plurality of delivery customers, said system comprising a main server hub including a route optimization algorithm and at least four other sub-systems directly accessible to said main server hub, said sub-systems comprising:

  • a) at least one geolocation server;

    b) at least one routing server;

    c) at least one external conversational user interface component for communication between said plurality of delivery customers and said main server hub algorithm; and

    d) at least one API for communication between a delivery client and said main server hub route optimization algorithm server;

    wherein said at least one geolocation server stores addresses for said plurality of delivery customers, wherein said at least one API acts as a conduit for transmitting delivery order requests regarding said plurality of delivery customers from said delivery client to said main server hub algorithm, wherein said at least one external conversational user interface component acts as a conduit for said main server hub algorithm to request and receive delivery time requests within a certain time window from said plurality of delivery customers, wherein said main server hub algorithm correlates received delivery time requests from a predetermined number of responses below the full number of said plurality of delivery customers with addresses for the same from said geolocation server in order to generate possible routes for delivery associated with such received delivery customer time requests with said possible routes compared internally to meet a certain viability score level with the optimal result chosen and placed on said routing server as an initial framework, wherein said main server hub algorithm provides a confirmation of a narrow delivery window to responsive delivery customers upon initial framework route generation with the potential for any responsive delivery customer to request modification of such a narrow delivery window confirmation, wherein said main server hub provides subsequent requests to nonresponsive delivery customers in order to update said initial route framework with subsequent replies of requested narrow delivery time windows and providing confirmations thereof as said delivery route is updated in relation to such subsequent responses and/or said requests for modifications from confirmed delivery customers.
