Routerra is an AI route planning tool designed specifically for couriers, delivery drivers, and delivery teams, created to solve the route optimization problem in multi-stop deliveries.
I. Main Purpose Routerra helps users quickly plan and optimize multi-stop delivery routes, replacing the inefficient traditional methods of manual planning or using navigation apps such as Google Maps to enter addresses one by one. It is suitable for scenarios that require delivering to multiple stops every day, and can significantly reduce planning time, save fuel, and improve delivery efficiency.
II. Main Capabilities
- Stop import: Supports importing stops by pasting a list, uploading a spreadsheet, or taking photos of package labels. AI can automatically extract addresses from manifests and labels, adapting to various data formats.
- Route optimization: Optimizes multi-stop routes with one click, taking into account real-time traffic, time windows, and vehicle preferences, and can handle up to 200 stops, completing sequencing within seconds.
- Navigation integration: Optimized routes can be exported and sent to Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps for turn-by-turn navigation. Supports marking stops as complete, skipping stops, and navigating to precise locations.
- Export and sharing: Supports exporting as CSV or PDF, or generating a route sharing link.
- Team features: Routerra Teams provides a dispatcher web app and an offline-first driver app. Dispatchers can import stops, optimize routes based on real-world constraints, dispatch with one click, and view delivery status and proof of delivery in real time.
- Mobile app: Provides a mobile app, making it convenient for drivers to receive and navigate routes on their phones.
III. How to Use Users can add delivery stops by pasting a list, uploading a spreadsheet, or taking a photo, and AI automatically extracts addresses. Then optimize the route with one click, taking into account conditions such as traffic and time windows. The optimized route can be sent to Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps on a phone for turn-by-turn navigation. Users can plan routes on a computer and then navigate on a phone. Routerra also provides a dispatcher console for planning and assigning routes; routes are sent directly to drivers' phones, with support for real-time progress tracking and proof of delivery.
IV. Applicable Scenarios
- Gig delivery drivers: Such as Amazon Flex, who need to import stops from screenshots, optimize up to 200 stops, and use common navigation apps.
- Independent couriers: Paste or upload a stop list, get the fastest route that takes traffic and time windows into account, and save fuel.
- Small business delivery: Plan routes on desktop, drive using a phone, without needing a dispatcher; import customer addresses and optimize.
- Field service and sales: Set a time window and service duration for each stop, and the optimizer builds a route to ensure on-time arrival for each appointment.
- Delivery teams and fleets: Through the dispatcher web app and driver app, import stops, optimize, dispatch with one click, and view status and proof of delivery in real time.
V. Limitations and Costs
- Free plan: Can plan 20 stops per day for free.
- Pro version: $14.99 per month ($9.99 per month with annual billing), supports 200 stops, AI import, and traffic optimization.
- One-day pass: $5, usable on a day when Pro features are needed.
- Google Maps supports at most 10 stops per route, and the stop order is fixed, with no ability to set arrival deadlines or priorities, and no import function. Routerra can handle 200 stops and optimize the order.
- Some detailed features (such as specific optimization algorithms, supported spreadsheet formats, API, etc.) are not yet provided.
