The peak season is here: Black Friday, Christmas, sales... and you with your van full to the top and the clock ticking.

The last thing you want is to spend 30—40 minutes organizing stops, reading directions, and fighting with Google Maps.

That's why in Routal for Drivers we have launched a novelty designed just for that moment of chaos:

👉 route planning simply by taking pictures of package labels.

Yes, literally like this: You take out your cell phone, point to the label, click... and in less than 1 second that package is already on your optimized route.

How does photo planning work?

The idea is very simple: you focus on the packages, Routal does the rest.

  1. Open the Routal for Drivers app.
  2. Activate the “scan by photo” mode.
  3. You're taking pictures of the labels, one after the other (without having to frame perfectly or waste time).
  4. The app automatically reads relevant information (address, reference, etc.).
  5. When you're done, Routal Generate the optimal route in seconds, sorting all the stops by distance, times and priorities.

💡 The result:

  • Less than 1 second per package to incorporate it into your route.
  • Without typing directions nor search manually on the map.
  • Todo ready to start much earlier.
