About

Porch Routes is web-based delivery route planning and management software for businesses that deliver their own orders with their own drivers, including farms, CSAs, butchers, bakeries, meal-prep kitchens, florists, specialty grocers, and local marketplaces. Businesses can add deliveries manually, import CSV files, connect Shopify or WooCommerce orders, or use the orders API. The route optimizer plans across vehicles using frozen, refrigerated, and dry capabilities, delivery windows, weight capacity, stop limits, shifts, and locked stops. Dispatchers can assign routes and monitor progress; drivers use a browser-based link on a phone to record delivery outcomes, photos, or signatures, including offline activity. Customers can receive updates and follow each order on a branded tracking page, while signed webhooks send delivery outcomes back to connected order systems.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I've been using Routal Planner for route planning and optimization in my business, and it's been awesome! The service is top, and their support team is always there when you need them. The tool adapts perfectly to my needs, making my work so much easier
  • The tool is very easy to use and when we have questions, their team is always available to help us :) Also, it has helped us a lot to reduce cancelled deliveries thanks to their notification functionality to our customers.
  • We have been using Routal for a long time and we are very satisfied with the tool. They have shown a great capacity to adapt to the market, constantly adding new functionalities that improve user experience
  • Easy to use once you understand the role of vehicles and how you want them to operate. Simple mapping and routes and the ability to instantly share this with drivers is good.
  • Keeping our clients informed with real-time updates is effortless, and it's been instrumental in reducing failed deliveries, ensuring everything stays on track.

Cons

  • It's not the cheapest option out there, but honestly, the price is worth it for the quality you get
  • We didn't find any negative points. For what we use it for, it works great
  • At the moment, I can't find any negative points in the tool, as it perfectly meets all our needs.
  • Struggled with optimising routings when using more than 2 vehicles, it probably does it, but i could not do it.
  • It doesn't offer a free license like some competitors.
