Route4Me review

Route4Me sells three packages, Route Optimization, Business Optimization and Enterprise Optimization, and every one of them is priced through a contact form. The feature matrix is broad: route simulation, territory management, single and multi-driver optimization, optimization across facilities, dynamic re-optimization, mixed vehicle routing, SmartZone routing, time windows, priorities, pickup and drop off and business rules. Dispatch tools include driver and vehicle assignment, route manifests, real-time alerts and GPS tracking, and drivers can capture e-signatures, videos, images and notes as proof of delivery or service. Reporting covers planned vs actual, a route operations matrix and CO2 statistics, and integrations include APIs, an SDK and telematics platforms. Several useful features, including recurring routing, commercial vehicle routing, avoidance zones, geofencing and text notifications, are paid add-ons on every package, and Enterprise adds custom algorithms, on-site experts and custom SLAs. Without published prices, it ranks below tools you can price yourself.
