How do I edit a driver’s details?

Edit a driver’s name, phone, or profile from the Drivers & Vehicles tab in your EasyRoutes navigation menu. Drivers can also update their profile name in the mobile app.

See: Editing Driver Info

How quickly can I get started?

Most teams connect, fetch orders, and create their first optimized route in under an hour. Follow the onboarding checklist to reach your “aha” moment fast.

See: Getting Started

Can I build multi-step Workflows with conditional logic?

Yes. Workflows can include multiple steps and conditions, such as only dispatching routes to certain drivers if the route exceeds a number of stops, or only adding particular stops if the corresponding order includes certain tags. There are no limits to how many Workflows route planners can create, offering maximum flexibility for businesses with varying delivery schedules.

See: Conditional Workflows

Do I need a Premium plan to use the API?

Yes. API and webhooks are available on Premium and Enterprise plans.

See: API Guide · Pricing & Plans

Can I delete or archive old routes?

Yes. You can archive routes to tidy up your route list but retain them for reference, or permanently delete them from your route history. Use the checkboxes to select desired routes from the Routes page, and use the actions menu to archive or delete. Archived routes retain proof of delivery and analytics.

See: Archive/Delete Routes

How accurate are ETAs?

ETAs use route distance, stop service times, and historical traffic, and they update during the day as drivers progress. Accuracy improves when addresses and time windows are clean.

See: Route Scheduling & ETAs

Can I re-optimize a route after creating it?

Yes. Re‑optimize at any time — after adding or removing stops, changing stop priorities, editing route options, or balancing loads. Drivers can also re-optimize routes delivered out of order, or re‑order stops if enabled from your EasyRoutes Settings.

How do my route planners and other staff access EasyRoutes?
