Yes. From the Routes page or an individual route, export CSV files containing stop information (customer name, address, contact fields), timing, driver assignments, and URLs to any proof of delivery items. Use these exports for customer service, accounting reconciliation, or analysis in spreadsheets and external tools.
Yes. EasyRoutes allows you to build Workflows in a safe, draft environment where you can preview how they would behave without actually triggering live actions. This lets you confirm that your conditions and actions are working as expected before rolling them out to your team.
For example, you might test a Workflow that creates a route every morning at 8 AM by running it with sample orders first, so you can see how the route would look. Once you’re confident it works, you can enable it in production and have it run automatically every day. This ability to test Workflows helps prevent mistakes like dispatching routes too early or sending customers duplicate notifications. It also makes it easier to experiment with new automations before committing to them.
See: Testing Workflows
Zapier makes it easy to send internal notifications whenever a stop status changes in EasyRoutes. For example, you can set up a Zap that listens for the STOP_STATUS_UPDATED webhook and then sends a Slack alert or email to your team with details like the order number and driver notes. This keeps staff informed in real time without needing to manually monitor dashboards.
While there isn’t a separate public sandbox, you can safely test in a non‑production environment. Create a test shop (Shopify) or an EasyRoutes for Web workspace with sample data, generate a dedicated API token, and point webhooks to staging URLs. Use draft orders or manual stops that contain your own contact info so notifications and tracking tests go only to your team. When your flows are validated, switch credentials and endpoints to production.
Yes. You can keep slips digital. From the route’s Print menu, select Packing slips and choose your browser/OS option to Save as PDF. This yields a single file ordered by the route for easy sharing.
This is supported in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and is useful for handing off to 3PLs or warehouse teams that prefer tablet-based picking.
EasyRoutes combines route planning, driver dispatch, live tracking, and proof of delivery in one system. Teams select orders (from Shopify or external sources), create optimized routes with start/end locations and options (time windows, service times), then dispatch to the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app.
Admins monitor routes in the browser, view ETAs and driver location (Premium/Enterprise), and share branded tracking pages and notifications with customers. Proof of delivery items — photos, eSignature, notes — are captured in the field and visible on the stop record. EasyRoutes is designed for SMBs and delivery fleets of any size across industries.
Admins need an internet connection to create, edit, and dispatch routes. The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app supports low‑connectivity situations: if a driver opens the route while online, stop data is cached locally so they can navigate, update status, and capture proof of delivery offline. The app queues events and syncs them to EasyRoutes once the device reconnects.
Yes. EasyRoutes opens your driver’s preferred navigation app for turn‑by‑turn directions. Drivers can choose Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze as their default navigation app from the mobile app's settings page. Drivers can also long tap and choose a different app on the fly if needed. Getting directions is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. When creating multiple routes as a group, use the Balance routes feature to spread stops evenly across drivers and routes. Balancing respects your other settings — such as max route duration, max stops/items, custom start/end locations, and time windows — so each route remains feasible. You can also choose to create and auto‑assign routes to selected drivers, then re‑optimize each route to fine‑tune their sequence and ETAs. This feature is available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and is especially helpful for daily batch planning.
See: Balance routes · How many routes?
Yes. Once Xero invoices are imported into EasyRoutes (via CSV, Zapier, or API), you can use them with EasyRoutes Workflows. For example, you could build a Workflow that automatically creates delivery routes every morning from all paid invoices and dispatches them to drivers. This saves time and ensures consistency.
See: Workflows Overview
Enable live tracking from EasyRoutes Settings → Driver settings in either EasyRoutes for Shopify or EasyRoutes for Web. Next, ensure each driver signs in to the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app (iOS/Android) and grants Always/Allow all the time location access with Precise location enabled. Once routes are started by a driver, location pins appear on the route’s Tracking tab. If privacy is a concern, you can restrict tracking for internal use only, or adjust the route expiry window for driver access.
Each stop supports multiple PoD elements: up to four photos, an e‑signature with timestamp, and any driver notes. Use photos for placement/context and the signature for hand‑off confirmation. These items appear in admin views, can be shown on tracking pages (per your settings), and are included via links in route/stop exports for record‑keeping.
See: Proof of Delivery
Workflows in EasyRoutes are powerful automation tools that let you design and run delivery management processes without needing to handle every step manually. Think of them as “if-this-then-that” rules that connect your orders, routes, and driver dispatching into a seamless flow. Instead of relying on a dispatcher to constantly create routes, select orders, or assign drivers, Workflows can do these repetitive tasks for you automatically.
For example, you could create a Workflow that listens for new Shopify orders tagged as “Local Delivery” and automatically builds a route every morning at 9 AM, adds matching orders to the route, optimizes route stops, and assigns it to a specific driver. By reducing manual intervention, Workflows make your operations more consistent, scalable, and error-proof.
See: Workflows Overview
Invite drivers from the Drivers & Vehicles tab, then assign a driver seat to activate them. Deactivate drivers anytime to free a seat without deleting their profile or history. You can switch which people occupy seats as staffing changes — ideal for seasonal or on-call drivers. These controls are available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
Yes. You can translate and brand customer‑facing tracking pages and notifications so recipients see messages in their language. EasyRoutes displays order/customer fields as they are provided by your source system (e.g., Shopify), making it straightforward to serve multilingual buyers. This applies across EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Additionally, the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app supports automatic translations to French, Spanish, Dutch, and German on both iOS and Android devices.
See: Language options
EasyRoutes doesn’t provide a native accounting app, but it connects cleanly via exports and integrations. Export route/stop CSVs for reconciliation, or use the Routes API and webhooks to sync delivery events (e.g., Delivered, Attempted) to tools like QuickBooks, Xero, or an ERP. Zapier can automate common tasks — posting mileage, closing jobs, or notifying finance of COD deliveries — without complicated code.
See: EasyRoutes Webhooks · Integrate with Zapier · Export routes/stops
Yes. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web you can enforce a start action. When a driver taps Start Delivery in the mobile app, EasyRoutes records the route start time and begins live location updates. This prevents drivers from completing stops out of context and ensures analytics include drive time from the route's start location. If a route must be paused, drivers can resume later to continue tracking.
Yes. Configure a start location (e.g., your store, a local warehouse, or a driver's home base) and an end location (e.g., a depot, final stop, or loop back to the route's start location) on each route. These points are included in optimization and time estimates, so drivers see realistic drive times and customers receive accurate ETAs. You can set defaults in Route Options, then override per route as needed. For multi‑warehouse operations, create routes that begin near each inventory location to reduce deadhead driving. In both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web, you can adjust these locations after route creation and re‑optimize to update the sequence and times.
See: Start/End Locations
Customer tracking pages can display an anonymized, live driver pin so recipients can see the driver’s progress as delivery approaches. Enable the option in EasyRoutes Settings → Order tracking, and use delivery notifications (email/SMS) to send tracking links automatically. When live location is unavailable (e.g., permissions off), the page still shows status updates and ETAs based on route progress.
See: Real-Time Driver Location Tracking · Customizable Order Tracking Pages
No. Barcode scanning uses the camera on your driver’s existing iOS or Android device, so there’s no need to buy dedicated scanners or hardware. Drivers scan directly from the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app, with a built-in flash option for low light and a manual-entry fallback if a code won’t read. It supports common linear formats (UPC, EAN, Code 128, and more) and 2D codes like QR and Data Matrix. Available in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Barcode scanning
Yes. EasyRoutes supports Shopify Subscription orders, so recurring deliveries can be filtered and routed with your daily batch. Many subscription and checkout tools are supported out of the box; you can also combine with imported/manual stops for non‑Shopify channels. Tracking, notifications, and proof of delivery function the same as for one‑time orders.
See: How does EasyRoutes work with subscriptions? · Supported third‑party apps
Yes. Enable automatic dispatch so newly created routes with a scheduled start time are assigned and sent to the chosen driver immediately — no extra clicks. Use this for recurring daily runs or integrations that create routes programmatically. You can still edit or un-dispatch a route before start time if plans change.
EasyRoutes builds efficient routes by combining your inputs (orders/stops and addresses) with constraints and preferences. It accounts for start and end locations, optional time windows, per‑stop service times, speed factors, and limits such as maximum duration, stops, items, or weight. You can create multiple routes at once, balance stops evenly, or optimize for the fewest routes that still meet your limits. After reviewing the map and stop list, drag‑and‑drop stops to make manual adjustments, then re‑optimize to apply changes.
See: Route Options · EasyRoutes 101: Route Optimization & Route Options
Yes. When you create several routes together, EasyRoutes places them in a Route Group so you can manage a delivery day (or multiple zones) as a single unit. From the group page you can dispatch all routes, view colour‑coded live driver pins, move stops between routes, and balance workloads. Route Groups work the same in EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web and are ideal for medium/large fleets or recurring delivery days.
See: Route Groups
Yes. EasyRoutes lets you add pickups — including returns and reusable-packaging collections — as stops on a delivery route, so drivers retrieve containers on the same run. Add them as custom/manual stops or via CSV/API, set the pickup location, and use stop notes to tell drivers what to collect. Collections appear in sequence with deliveries, on printed manifests, and in the driver app. Works in both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.
See: Pickup orders · Adding custom stops · Driver Tasks
Delivery Analytics provides a consolidated view of your operations across both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web. Key metrics include total stops and routes, completion rate, attempted/missed deliveries, average delivery time, and per‑driver performance summaries. Use it to compare activity over time, spot bottlenecks, and validate operational changes.
You can filter by time period and specific drivers to focus on a team or individual, then export results to CSV for reporting. For event‑level detail (e.g., when a stop changed status), open the route’s Activity Feed. Analytics refreshes as new delivery events are recorded, so the dashboard stays current throughout the day.
