Photo Proof
Capture photos upon delivery to confirm pet supplies were left in the correct location. This helps avoid disputes and ensures accountability.

Task Checklists
Include checklists for drivers to verify they’ve delivered all items, such as multiple bags of food, toys, or medications. This reduces the risk of missing items.
Bulk Import
Quickly upload large lists of orders for efficient route planning, especially during high-demand times like holidays. This saves time and streamlines operations.

Keep detailed logs of past deliveries to track performance and optimize future routes. This helps ensure consistent and reliable service.
Over $2 billion worth of meal kits tailored to pets were delivered globally in 20201
Meal kits for pets remain poised to become one of the fastest growing segments of the global pet supply market, with projections suggesting more than 15% annual growth to over $9 billion in yearly sales by 2030.2 Just like those for their human counterparts, meal kits for pets typically contain perishable goods requiring careful planning and precise timing in order to maintain acceptable quality standards.
EasyRoutes’ optimized delivery routes are planned around any date and time window preferences selected by shoppers on checkout, helping to ensure deliveries arrive when consumers are most prepared to accept them. Merchants can provide the ability for customers to track the live GPS location of their delivery drivers via EasyRoutes tracking pages, further bolstering customer communication and trust.
Once deliveries are dropped off, drivers can easily capture proof of delivery with eSignatures, photos, notes, and precise GPS delivery location via the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app, providing additional peace of mind to both the consumer and merchant.
The pet supply industry is largely dominated by established brands
Particularly in the United States - where Petco and PetSmart combined make up nearly 50% of the overall market3 - pet supply retailers face steep competition from established industry players. EasyRoutes equips Shopify merchants of all sizes with the advanced functionality required to provide a seamless customer experience to rival even the most dominant e-commerce brands and big box retailers.
Merchants can tailor EasyRoutes’ order tracking pages and delivery event notifications - sent via both email and SMS - to provide real-time updates on a customer’s order status, complete with store branding and customized messaging. The EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app, available for both iOS and Android, provides drivers with a user-friendly and responsive interface for completing deliveries, including navigation between stops using their preferred mapping tool.
Updates to orders are processed in real time, meaning that every status update, proof of delivery, or note from the road is immediately reflected in your Shopify admin, streamlining order and route management into one convenient location.
Subscriptions offer benefits for pet owners and merchants alike
After experiencing explosive pandemic-driven growth in the early 2020s, subscription models have become popular in virtually every retail industry, including pet supplies. Pet supply subscriptions present consumers with a convenient, customizable option for feeding Felix or Fido, while providing merchants with increased consistency and predictability when stocking inventories and planning delivery routes. Considering that an existing customer is 50% more likely to try new products, and 31% more likely to spend more money than a new customer, retaining repeat customers via a subscription model can quickly help boost a retailer’s bottom line.4
EasyRoutes seamlessly integrates with many of the top subscription apps available in the Shopify App Store, simplifying route planning and customer management for both current and upcoming subscription orders. EasyRoutes also offers full-featured support for custom and partial order fulfillments, streamlined bulk imports for orders recorded manually or outside of Shopify, and customizable order sorting with powerful filter views.
These features equip merchants offering subscriptions for hungry pets with a complete suite of tools for subscriber and recurring order management, all easily accessible directly from the Shopify admin.
