Courier and final-mile work is high volume and time-sensitive, with proof at every drop and customers who expect to know when the driver will arrive. Some tools here are built specifically for couriers; others are general route planners that handle the same daily routes at a lower price.
Hundreds of stops a day spread across many drivers.
Photos, signatures and scans that stand up in a dispute.
Arrival notices and a tracking link to reduce failed deliveries.
See where every driver is and react when the day changes.
Move stops between drivers when someone calls in sick.
A price you can build into your rates.
Five tools for courier and final-mile teams, in the order we'd suggest them.

If you take orders from many clients and need client portals or courier billing, a platform like Onfleet is built for it. If you run your own deliveries, a route planner is usually enough.
Tools charge per driver, per user, per order or per stop. Work out the monthly cost at your current volume and at the size you expect to be, including any add-ons you would need, such as SMS.
Have a driver complete a few test drops with photos and signatures and look at what the office receives.
Use the free trial with your own addresses, time windows and drivers. Compare the drive time, how long planning takes each morning, and how drivers get on with the app.
If you need a full courier platform with auto-dispatch, Onfleet is built for it. If you mainly need fast routes, proof of delivery and recipient updates at a lower price, look at Spoke Dispatch, Routes & Maps or Routific.
It ranges from free (Routific, up to 100 orders a month) to $619 a month and up (Onfleet). Plans priced by stops, like Routes & Maps and Spoke Dispatch, include unlimited drivers. Small team? We price by stops, not drivers. If our standard plans are more than you need, talk to sales about a Custom plan sized to your monthly stops.
Many couriers do. Spoke Dispatch and Track-POD list SMS; Routific offers it as an add-on. Routes & Maps sends email and offers a live tracking page, but no SMS.
In Routes & Maps, yes: several people can work on the same plan and see each other's changes live.
The Routes & Maps and Track-POD driver apps keep working with weak signal and sync when the connection returns.
Import your stops and plan an optimized route with your real addresses.
