About
Kardinal is a route optimization API for developers and logistics teams that need to model real operations, not just sequence stops. It solves complex multi-stop, multi-vehicle routing under real-world constraints: time windows, capacities, multi-depot, multi-temperature fleets, pickup and delivery, skip handling and driver rules. In an open benchmark of 149 constraints, Kardinal expresses 93%, the widest coverage of the eleven engines tested. It re-optimizes live plans without rebuilding from scratch, and returns deterministic, reproducible results. Integrate it through a self-serve API with a developer console, strongly typed SDKs and clear docs. Pricing is public, per optimized stop and among the most competitive on the market, re-optimizations free within 24h, with a free tier to test on your own data, no sales call. Built to be called by AI agents too, via an MCP server and machine-readable documentation. Recognized in the 2026 Gartner Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduli

About
RouteGenie is NEMT software built for non-emergency medical transportation operations that have outgrown basic dispatch software. It combines NEMT scheduling software, dispatch, routing, billing and fleet compliance in one platform, running 600+ fleets and 20,000+ vehicles across 46 states and two countries at roughly 50,000 trips a day. NEMT dispatch software built for multi-site scale. Operators run every location in one instance with role-based access, per-location configuration and a complete audit trail on every trip change — who cancelled a trip, when, and why. DispatchGenie builds and continuously re-optimizes routes with native multiload, so a 200-vehicle schedule rebuilds in seconds instead of being maintained by hand. Subcontractor vehicles appear on the same live map as owned fleet, which matters when your network is larger than your payroll. NEMT broker software, built in. ImportGenie runs 28 live broker and payer integrations — ModivCare, MTM, Veyo, Verida, SafeRide Health, Alivi, VectorCare, New York MAS, Uber Health, transit authorities and Medicaid health plans — importing trips and returning statuses automatically, with no re-keying. BillingGenie is full non-emergency medical transportation billing software: Medicaid billing, CMS 1500, broker billing, claim scrubbing and denial management in the same system, so billing is not a second platform. Enterprise administration. SAML2 single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin and Google Workspace. Single-tenant deployment with per-customer data isolation. SOC 2 Type 1 attested. HIPAA-aligned controls, BAAs, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based permissions, and four portals: staff, drivers, payers and facilities, and passengers. Open REST API. Pricing that does not punish growth. Flat per-vehicle pricing with unlimited trips and unlimited users. No per-trip fees, no per-seat licensing. Cost tracks your fleet, not your trip volume or headcount — which is why high-volume operators and large agencies model lower total cost here than on per-trip or per-user platforms. RouteGenie serves large and mid-size NEMT providers, PACE organizations, adult day programs, regional transit authorities, brokers and Medicaid health plans. Providers running 80 to 170 vehicles have migrated here from legacy paratransit and NEMT platforms. No fleet minimum. 4.6/5 across 49 reviews. 13 consecutive SourceForge Top Performer awards.

CategoriesRouteGenie is an end-to-end NEMT software platform built to help providers streamline operations and deliver compliant, cost-effective medical transportation. The system manages routing, scheduling, eligibility, dispatching, billing, and broker integrations in one place. Capacity management, mode-of-transportation matching, and multiload features help organizations group compatible trips and maximize each vehicle’s efficiency. RouteGenie supports dialysis, behavioral health, recurring medical visits, and same-day requests with easy-to-use tools and automated reminders that reduce no-shows. With configurable workflows and strong compliance features, RouteGenie helps NEMT operations run smoothly while improving on-time performance and care access. 600+ fleets and 20,000+ vehicles run on RouteGenie across 46 states, at roughly 50,000 trips a day, with 28 live broker and payer integrations. RouteGenie is a smart route-planning system designed for medical and paratransit transportation providers who need efficient, accurate scheduling. The platform builds optimized routes based on rider needs, time windows, mobility requirements, and vehicle capacity. With advanced multiload capabilities, RouteGenie identifies opportunities to group riders traveling in the same direction, helping providers use fewer vehicles while maintaining strong on-time performance. Dispatchers can adjust routes in real time, manage recurring trips, and ensure every vehicle operates at the highest practical efficiency. RouteGenie reduces operational costs while improving the passenger experience. Operators running 25 to 500+ vehicles rebuild a full day’s schedule in seconds instead of by hand, across every site in one instance. 600+ fleets and 20,000+ vehicles plan on RouteGenie, at roughly 50,000 trips a day. Customers average 10-20% fewer vehicles on the road and miles driven. RouteGenie offers a powerful dispatch solution for transportation providers who need complete control over daily operations. Dispatchers can assign and modify trips instantly, monitor live vehicle activity, and communicate with drivers through a unified interface. The system accounts for capacity, mobility requirements, and multiload opportunities to support efficient ride grouping and better fleet utilization. Automated scheduling and trip reminders reduce manual effort and errors, while real-time status updates give teams full visibility across the day. With configurable workflows and support for high-volume operations, RouteGenie makes dispatching more predictable, efficient, and scalable. Dispatch runs at multi-site scale: every location in one instance with role-based access, subcontractor vehicles on the same live map as owned fleet, and a full audit trail on every trip change. 600+ fleets, 20,000+ vehicles, ~50,000 trips daily. |
