Why teams leave Route4Me
Rarely over the optimization. Their engine is good and has been for years.
With Route4Me
The invoice grew with every add-on
You start on a plan and stack modules: SMS, scanning, portal, faster support. The cost per delivery drifts from the deal.
Support lived in another time zone
When a route breaks at 7:30am in Madrid or Mexico City, what matters is who is awake on the other end.
They optimized routes but did not manage deliveries
Producing the route is half the job. The other half: exceptions, failed stops, proof of delivery and the month-end report.
With Routal
No add-on catalogue
SMS, scanning, the tracking portal and priority support come included. What you see in the demo is what you get.
Built to run in Spanish and Portuguese
Product, driver app and support in your language, WhatsApp alerts and people answering in your time zone. Not a translation.
The day it goes wrong
Replanning mid-morning, rescheduling yesterday's failed stops and delivering with no signal: the part comparisons leave out.
