Tips on how to optimize your free trial

Get the most out of your SmartRoutes free trial with practical tips on setup, support resources, and hands-on practice before you subscribe.

A SmartRoutes trial gives full access to the platform, so the more you use it during this period, the better sense you'll have of whether it fits your operation. Here are practical ways to get the most out of your time before deciding on a plan.

Book a demo

A live demo with our team gives you a personalized walkthrough of the platform, tailored to your specific delivery operation rather than a generic overview. It's a good starting point if you want a clear picture of what's possible before working through the platform on your own.

Pick a time that suits you and we'll walk you through it.

Set up your real data early

Trials are most useful when they reflect your actual operation, not test data. Add your real drivers and vehicles, and upload an actual day's worth of delivery stops if you can. This gives you a genuine sense of how SmartRoutes performs with your routes, your team, and your delivery volumes, rather than a generic sample.

If you need help formatting your data for upload, see How to Format and Upload Spreadsheets and CSV Files.

Practice planning and editing routes

Your trial is the best time to get comfortable with the platform's core workflow: planning a route, dispatching it, and making changes both before and after dispatch. Since nothing is live yet, there's no risk in experimenting.

Worth trying during your trial:

By the time your trial ends, these should feel familiar rather than new.
