Building an Open Ecosystem
Today we're excited to announce the RouteMate Integrations API, designed to let businesses connect their delivery operations with the tools they already use. Whether you're pulling orders from Shopify, syncing with a warehouse management system, or feeding delivery data into your analytics platform, the API makes it possible.
What You Can Do
The Integrations API provides RESTful endpoints for all core RouteMate functionality:
- Routes: Create, read, update, and delete routes programmatically
- Stops: Add stops to routes with full address and metadata support
- Optimization: Trigger route optimization via API call
- Status updates: Receive webhooks when stops are completed or routes finish
- Driver assignment: Assign routes to specific team members
Common Integration Patterns
E-Commerce to Delivery
Connect your Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom storefront to automatically create delivery stops from new orders. Set up rules to batch orders by suburb or delivery window, and let RouteMate optimize the route each morning.
Warehouse Management
Sync your pick-and-pack workflow with route creation. As items are scanned and loaded, corresponding stops are added to the driver's route in real time, ensuring the load sequence matches the optimized delivery order.
Business Intelligence
Push completed delivery data to your analytics platform. Track metrics like average delivery time, stops per hour, and route efficiency over time. Build custom dashboards that combine delivery performance with sales and customer satisfaction data.
Authentication and Rate Limits
The API uses bearer token authentication with per-organisation API keys. Free plans include 1,000 API calls per month, while paid plans offer 50,000+ calls with higher rate limits and priority support.
Developer Resources
We've published comprehensive API documentation with interactive examples, along with client libraries for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Ruby. A Postman collection is also available for quick testing.
Getting Started
API access is available today for all RouteMate accounts. Generate your API key from the Settings page and start building. We can't wait to see what you connect.
