What is courier route planning software?

Courier route planning software organises jobs into a stop sequence. A useful plan considers collection before delivery, service time, the working day and the practical details at each address.

Read the request before fitting it into a route. The collection time, item size and delivery access may matter more than proximity alone. Confirm any missing detail before agreeing to work that affects the rest of your day.

A practical walkthrough

Prepare, review and carry out the route

  1. Check the collection, destination, goods and requested timing.
  2. Agree a service you can carry out and retain the instructions.
  3. Plan the confirmed stops and record their outcomes in the supported workflow.

Explore Drive It for managing direct customer jobs as well as connected marketplace work. If an office shares responsibility for planning and dispatch, continue to the Nexus operational guides.
