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

  • The delivery information driver activity tracking is fantastic. That improved a lot our customer service.
  • In our line of business, it is essential to be able to cover as many use cases as possible. The 100+ parameters available makes it the only software I tested that model our activity perfectly.
  • I love being able to balance sales territories and have a management tool that handles close to 40K US zip codes.
  • Easy to use, and onboarding e-training in the application, flexible integration. Also, Gartner Certified!
  • New capabilities are rolled-out regularly, and they listen to their users for new features implementation.

Cons

  • The cheaper version does not have real-time appointment optimization, which is a shame.
  • I would love more capabilities in reporting, specifically a customizable BI dashboard, like a drag & drop UI?
  • I have noticed a slow down in performance when working with too many attributes on the zip code optimization.
  • The US localization still needs some work but will probably be up to standards in the very near future.
  • Even though the interactive tutorials are an excellent addition, it would be nice to have a free training session at sign-up.
