What delivery teams say about
SmartRoutes

Full visibility of every touch point

Delivering over 90,000 newspapers a week requires our entire operations and logistic divisions to be on the same page. SmartRoutes gave us full visibility of every touch point from print production right up to end customer queries. Without their combination of software and service, this simply wouldn't be possible.

Fran W. - The Irish Times
Quick and efficient customer support

SmartRoutes have been instrumental in structuring our delivery planning process. We now have more efficient delivery planning and better driver visibility. The whole delivery process is now more efficient both for our route planners and delivery drivers. Special thanks to Blake and the team for their quick and efficient customer support.

Brett L. - Outdoor Living
Improved our operational efficiency

The SmartRoutes platform has provided us with an additional touch point for our customers via the text message with tracking information. We've received really positive feedback on the system both from our customers around being able to track their orders as well as from stores on the positive impact it's had on our fulfilment processes.
