Description

Upper Route Planner is a delivery operations platform that helps businesses plan routes, dispatch drivers, track deliveries, manage fleets, and communicate with customers from one system. It is designed for teams that want to replace spreadsheets, disconnected dispatch tools, and multiple dashboards with a single operating system for route-based work. The platform supports route optimization, driver mobile workflows, proof of delivery, live tracking, stop notifications, analytics, APIs, and integrations with ecommerce, CRM, telematics, and finance tools. Upper Crew gives multi-vehicle teams a central workspace for planning routes, assigning stops, monitoring drivers, and managing customer-facing delivery activity. The Customer Notifications Suite helps reduce “where is my driver” calls by sending branded tracking pages, live ETAs, geofenced updates, delivery confirmations, and alerts by SMS, email, or WhatsApp. AI Dispatcher helps automate sequencing, rerouting, driver matching, service-time learning, workload balancing, and capacity-aware planning. Upper Fleet connects vehicle records, fuel card data, inspections, maintenance schedules, telematics, and route-linked reporting so teams can understand operational cost more clearly. The platform serves industries such as waste hauling, distribution, medical courier, catering, HVAC, field service, parts delivery, beverage, landscaping, and many other stop-based operations. By connecting every route, driver, vehicle, customer, and delivery event, Upper Route Planner helps businesses improve dispatch speed, route accuracy, delivery visibility, and fleet performance.
