Our Story

David and Blake Walsh founded SmartRoutes in 2018 with a vision to make route planning and fleet management accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes. They identified the potential to utilize emerging technologies and data sources to offer top-notch solutions to these businesses at affordable prices, in contrast to the exorbitant fees charged by others in the market. Their initial idea quickly gained traction and SmartRoutes began serving customers in a wide range of industries, including newspaper and grocery delivery, courier and logistics, and more. As the company grew, the team continued to refine and expand the platform, incorporating customer feedback and the latest technological advancements to ensure they were providing the most effective and efficient delivery solutions possible.
