How do driver seats work?

Driver seats are active licenses you assign to people in your driver roster. Activate a seat to let a driver receive routes in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver app; deactivate a seat to pause access without deleting their profile. You can toggle seats anytime and only pay for the seats on your plan at that moment. Charges/credits are prorated automatically when you add or remove seats.

See: Manage driver seats · Activate/deactivate drivers

Can I track my drivers in real-time?

Yes. Enable Real‑Time Tracking in Settings → Driver settings (Premium/Enterprise subscription plans) to view live driver location and progress in the Tracking tab of any route.

See: Real‑Time Tracking

Does EasyRoutes support different vehicle types/capacities when optimizing?

Yes. EasyRoutes supports Vehicle Profiles you can configure and assign to routes. EasyRoutes also supports capacity planning via item or weight limits per route. Use these with other options (like time windows, or custom start/end locations) to keep plans realistic and drivers on schedule.
