Maximize Parcel Deliveries with Route Optimization
High-volume parcel delivery is a numbers game. The more stops you complete per hour, the more you earn. Route optimization is the single biggest lever for improving your stops-per-hour rate.
The Parcel Delivery Challenge
A typical parcel delivery driver handles 80-150 stops per day. At that volume, even small inefficiencies compound:
- 30 seconds wasted per stop = 75 minutes lost over 150 stops
- A 2km detour between stops = 20+ extra kilometres per day
- Manual address entry = 45-90 minutes before the first delivery
How RouteMate Transforms Parcel Delivery
AI Label Scanning — RouteMate's standout feature for parcel delivery. Photograph shipping labels and addresses are extracted automatically. Process 80 labels in 10 minutes instead of typing for an hour.
Instant Optimization — Add all stops, hit optimize, and get the fastest route sequence in seconds. RouteMate evaluates thousands of possible orderings considering real-time traffic.
Smart Re-Optimization — When stops get added or removed mid-route, re-optimize the remaining stops without starting over.
CSV Import — Upload your daily manifest from your depot system and let RouteMate geocode and optimize automatically.
