Built for global business, Routeware offers features such as GPS tracking and route optimization, integration with third party systems, billing and payments and so much more. All user data is stored on the cloud for easy access anytime and anywhere.

Routeware is a cloud-based fleet management solution that offers tools for work order management, route planning and driver performance tracking. Key features include a dashboard, fork sensors, trip inspections and hardware integrations for timeclocks and scales.

Routeware can also be integrated with tablets that can be installed in vehicles to capture details about driver performance, pickup times, breaks or pauses during routes and more. Users can also configure a routing system so that route updates can be shared with drivers in real time.

Routeware’s control center lets users manage back-office operations such as creating and dispatching work orders, route tracking, storing service histories and vehicle tracking.
