Routal vs Google Maps
It's the best navigation app there is and your drivers will keep using it. The problem: 9 stops per route, hand-set order, no record.
What delivering on Google Maps costs
Not a bad product: a navigation app asked to do something it doesn't do.
With Google Maps
Nine stops, destination included
That's the limit in Google's own help centre. A forty-drop round becomes five routes chained by hand.
You decide the order
It doesn't resequence stops: you drag them. The route is the planner's intuition, with nothing to compare it against.
Nothing survives the delivery
No signature, no photo, no customer alert. Proof of delivery is a picture in a chat nobody can find.
With Routal
Hundreds of stops, already sequenced
Upload the day's deliveries and the route comes back sequenced, with windows, capacity and zones. No blocks of nine.
Your drivers keep using Google Maps
The driver taps the stop in Routal and navigates with Google Maps or Waze, as today, with a route behind it.
Everything leaves a record
Arrival time, signature, photo and failure reason are stored. The customer gets an ETA and the report writes itself.
What Google Maps does better
Your drivers will keep navigating with it, and that suits us fine.
Nothing navigates better
Live traffic, lane guidance and the best street data anywhere, offline too. We don't compete there: we build on it.
It is already on every phone
No install, no training: any driver, permanent or covering a shift, uses it from minute one.
It is free, and sometimes it is enough
Two vans, eight stops and an area you know by heart? The right answer is Google Maps.
