Route planning software that builds the day in minutes

Route planning software builds a delivery operation’s daily rounds from its orders, balances each vehicle by capacity and time window, sequences every stop to cut driving miles, dispatches to drivers and tracks the vans live. RouteMagic does all of this back-office route planning and optimisation in one system, so planners stop rebuilding the day in a spreadsheet each morning.

Yes — RouteMagic is routing software in the same family as the route-planner and route-management tools UK distributors compare: it plans, optimises, dispatches and monitors every round. The difference is that the routing sits inside the whole distribution day — orders, warehouse pick, driver app and accounts — rather than as a standalone planner you re-key into.

The right software is the one that fits how you actually run — multi-drop rounds, standing orders, time windows, multi-branch territories and a driver app that works offline. RouteMagic is built for distributors running dense multi-drop rounds at scale; for last-mile and courier operations, our last mile delivery software is the closer fit.

GraphHopper VRP — the same engine that powers commercial-grade route optimisation across distance, time and capacity dimensions. Customer-record latitude/longitude is the only data prerequisite; everything else is configurable per tenant.

Not always, which is why the optimiser never has the last word. The planner can override any sequence, lock specific stops in place and pin the first or last drop, then re-run — so local knowledge a map can’t see (a tight loading bay, a customer who only takes deliveries before noon) always wins.

Up to seven days of advance planning, with cumulative driving distance and time tracked across days, driver availability checked against holidays / absence, and mandatory rest hours enforced per regulatory or company rules.

Yes — new calls inserted by the back office land as the next nearest stop on the in-flight route; stops can be transferred between vans; remaining stops can be re-sequenced; driver notification fires on every change.

Geo-fenced arrivals auto-confirm each stop when the vehicle enters the customer’s configured radius; exception flags surface live on the map for failed drops, out-of-window stops, signature mismatches and off-route deviations.

Each branch has its own warehouses, employees and vehicles modelled under one tenant via Company Branch Warehouse Setup; the planner operates per branch with cross-branch visibility for the master tenant; Territories auto-assign customers within map boundaries.

Locked routes push to the offline-first driver app at sign-in; routes, customers, products, prices and promotions cache locally; transactions write locally and queue; background sync pushes everything back when signal returns — no data loss.
