WorkWave Route Manager review

WorkWave Route Manager is priced per vehicle, from $54 a month, with a minimum of 4 vehicles, and WorkWave says it does not charge based on deliveries. Billing can be monthly, quarterly or annual. The feature list covers route optimization, order import, route simulations for testing scenarios, a driver app with smartphone GPS tracking, proof of job completion, barcode scanning, event tracking, customer email and SMS notifications, real-time order status, a route performance dashboard with KPIs, dynamic loads, RouteManager Voice, Zapier and an open API. WorkWave also sells RoutingEngine, its optimization algorithm, for teams that want to plug routing into their own CRM. Every customer gets a dedicated account manager, and WorkWave advertises same-day setup without IT involvement. The industry pages cover food and beverage, pharmacy, lawn care, field service and outside sales. The downsides are the 4-vehicle floor, only one published price and no listed trial.
