Delivery Route Planner for the UAE
RouteMate helps couriers and e-commerce delivery teams in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah plan multi-stop routes, read addresses off parcel labels, and dispatch drivers from one app on iPhone and Android.
What makes a UAE round awkward
- 01Addresses often arrive as a building, a community and a landmark instead of a street number, so typing stops by hand is slow and easy to get wrong
- 02One courier day can mix dense towers in Dubai Marina with a run down Sheikh Zayed Road to Abu Dhabi
- 03Sale events and Ramadan evenings push the stop count far above a normal week, and new orders land during the day
- 04Midday heat and evening delivery slots squeeze the work into fewer, tighter hours
What it does about it
Scan the label: the phone camera reads the printed address and adds the stop, so a 60-stop van does not start with 20 minutes of typing
One solve over the full stop list, with time windows for evening slots and customer-booked times
Re-optimise the remaining stops when a new pickup or a failed delivery changes the day
Team dispatch, live tracking and proof of delivery for courier companies with several vans, at one price for the account
Typical operations
- Last-mile couriers for e-commerce sellers in Dubai and Sharjah
- Owner-drivers who take subcontracted parcel routes
- Restaurants, florists and pharmacies with their own delivery vans
- Courier companies that run Dubai and Abu Dhabi routes from one desk
Addresses without street numbers
In the UAE a delivery address is often a building name, a community and a landmark. A driver who reads that off a label and types it into a map app loses time at every stop, and a wrong tower means a second attempt.
RouteMate's label scanner reads the address as printed and adds it as a stop. Check each new stop on the map before you optimise. Fix a pin that lands on the wrong building before the van leaves, not at the door.
Heavy days and same-day changes
Many planners optimise only 25 stops at a time and join the blocks together. On a heavy sale-week day, the driver pays for every seam between those blocks.
RouteMate solves the full list at once: 150 stops per route on Solo AI, 500 on Pro Driver, and no limit on Team. When a new order lands at 4 pm, re-optimise the stops that remain and keep the completed ones fixed.
Prices in US dollars
RouteMate prices are in US dollars. There is no separate AED price. Starter is free with 5 routes of 5 stops, so you can test the route order on your own streets first.
Team is US$49 a month for the whole account, not per driver, so a courier company that adds vans for the busy season does not see the invoice move.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Solo AI | US$19.99/mo or US$190/yr | 150 per route | 300 a month | 1 |
