Pros
The OptimoRoute system is suitable for our small company and will easily expand with our business as we grow. We have been impressed by the system's flexibility with access to a mobile application.
Excellent value for the money - and the existing feature set is still as good as or better than most of the others we looked at.
Experience has been great, the customer notifications has been the highlight of the program.
Cons
When marking as failed, should have a choice of reasons or somewhere to type as to why delivery failed.
One downside, is that it can be difficult to plan multiple routes at once for multiple drivers in the same city by only using the automatic route generator.
I'm not sure that there is anything about the software that I dislike.

Game Changer

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

The best part about this software is that it works. It does exactly what we need it to do, very happy with this tool.

Waiting on features like sms to client notification, and customer signatures.

Saves us many hours of route plotting

Reviewed 3 months ago

Support has been good. Being able to purchase 1 month only per year and keep all settings from year to year is essential to the product being affordable for our usage.

Pros

We started using this product about 6 years ago to replace home grown javascript + route planning solution + manually loaded GPS's. The quick import, plotting, and route distribution saved us many hours of work to plan pickup routes for up to 6 trucks and up to 450 stops per Saturday for 3 Saturdays each January for a charity fundraiser. Tracking trucks and being able to change routes on the fly are big benefits also.

Cons

I'd like "avoid U Turns" and "avoid crossing street" to be separate routing constraints. We do a lot of side street pickups and crossing the street is no problem, but U-Turns in 16' trucks are difficult.I'd like the time per stop to be able to be seconds and tenths vs whole seconds.

Vendor response

Hi Joe, thank you for being our customer for 6 years! We're so happy to see that you were able to replace a homegrown solution with OptimoRoute and that our support team has been good. We created OptimoRoute to help organizations like yours save on planning time and help them adjust to changes that can happen unexpectedly. We appreciate your insights into separating the routing constraints and time per stop as well.

OptimiRoute not always optimum

Reviewed 3 years ago

Routes are typically longer than stated and not always optimized.

Pros

The promise of the resolution of an ongoing logistics challenge .

Cons

The software regularly gives you optimized routes that go in circles rather than in a logical progression. Moreover the estimated travel time between locations is significantly shorter on the app than the actual stated in the navigation app.

Vendor response

Hi Francesco, Thanks for taking the time to write a review and thanks for letting us know about your concerns and issues. We're very sorry to hear that you've had a subpar experience using our software. We'd love it if you'd give us a chance to make it better. If you've got a minute, you can write to us at support@optimoroute.com so we can work out which solutions are best suited for your company. Hope that helps!

In control

Reviewed 3 months ago

Very happy. Critical application for our business

Pros

Customer satisfaction & Employee satisfactionOur customers are well informed about when they woll receive their purchases. They can adapt in advance. Our drivers have all customer information at their finger tips. To ensure a speedy delivery.

Cons

We are very seasonal. A lot of work around Easter en Christmas. Less during the year. During the busy times we may need 2 or 3 drivers. But we only have a license for 1. That makes it difficult to operation efficiently. We don’t want a 2nd license for just a few weeks of work.

Vendor response

We're really glad to hear that your customers are happy with their real-time updates, and that your employees have important customer information handy so they can adapt to any changes. We work with a lot of businesses that are seasonal, and a hallmark of our product is that we have flexibility (including monthly billing and upgrades) to help businesses scale up during crunch seasons. Feel free to reach out to sales@optimoroute.com if we can help you with your billing plan. Thanks, Rutger!

Perfect for Lawn Care and Snow Clearing Companies

Reviewed 3 months ago

Overall, I'd rate it a 4/5 stars as it does everything I need it to do, however wish it did just a little bit more.

Pros

Love the live tracking abilities for customers, review options for customers, etc. Allows us to give detailed instructions to staff on the task that needs to be completed.

Cons

Cost is good, however wish that we could use the system to send out emails (i.e. notices) to customers to be able to ask whether they want to opt for additional services, etc., sorta like a mail chimp, or some way to integrate into your accounting software such as other apps.

Vendor response

Seasonality that comes with lawn care and snow removal business creates very specific software needs and we are glad to hear that we have managed to cater to them. It's also nice hearing that our features are helpful for your everyday work. As for emails, whilst OptimoRoute does not accommodate marketing messaging, we do send email and text notification for when an order is complete. There is no character limit for email notifications and would be a perfect place to ask your customers to opt in for more services after a job is successfully completed. That said, our engineering team works daily on making improvements and updating OptimoRoute with new features and we would love to hear your suggestions! Just send us an email at support@optimoroute.com.
