Built for a day of drops
Couriers, gig drivers, florists, caterers and volunteers often have 15 to 40 drops in a day, which is more than most free plans of delivery apps allow. This planner takes up to 50 with no account. Paste from the delivery list, start from the depot or store, and choose to finish back there, at home, or wherever is quickest.
Drive it your way
Every stop has a Go button that opens turn by turn directions in Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze. Tick stops off as you go. The route also opens in Google Maps in parts of up to 9 stops if you prefer to load several at once.
For a crew
Print the run sheet: stop numbers, addresses and the drive time from the stop before, ready for a clipboard. Or send the share link to the driver.
Planning around a depot
Most delivery days loop: out from the depot, through the drops, and back to reload or return the van. Choose Back to start and the planner treats the depot as both first and last, which often changes the order compared with a one way day, because the last drop should be close to home base. If you end the day at home instead, put your home address as the last line and choose Finish at my last line.
Early drops and time windows
The planner does not take time windows, but you can still respect an early drop: plan the route, then move that stop up with the arrow buttons. The drive times and the total update so you can see what the change costs. For many timed drops in a day, a paid delivery app with time windows may suit you better.
Big days
Up to 50 drops fit in one route. For more, split the list by area, such as north and south of a main road, and plan each part as its own route. Splitting by area costs very little extra driving, because a good route rarely crosses the same area twice.
Fuel and time
The saving shown at the top of the run sheet is the difference between driving your list in the order you typed it and in the planned order. On a day of 20 or 30 drops that is often many miles and a good share of an hour, which adds up over a week of deliveries. The planner does not track fuel, but the miles saved are the part you can see straight away.
Proof and paperwork
The CSV download lists every stop in order with its address, coordinates and the drive from the stop before, which is handy for a mileage log or for a manager who wants to see the plan. Keep in mind it is the plan, not a record of what was driven.
