Onfleet alternative

Optivo and Onfleet compared for deliveries that leave the depot as routes

With Optivo, the routes that leave the depot in the morning come already built by OptivoRoute, Optivo's route optimization software, with on-board devices and the driver app in the same contract. Onfleet is a San Francisco platform for dispatching on-call deliveries, paid per task. The comparison is for companies working on orders known in the morning.

Why people look for an Onfleet alternative

Companies using Onfleet for planned deliveries reach the same point: the product is built around the task that comes in and has to be assigned right away, not around the route that leaves the depot with time windows, capacities and several loading points. Billing is per completed task, with the Launch plan from $619 a month for 2,500 tasks; advanced optimization and proof of delivery with barcode and ID scan come with the Scale plan, from $1,349. Position comes from the driver's app rather than the vehicle, and the vendor has no presence in Italy: interface in English, Spanish and French, data on servers in the United States.

  • Price per completed task: Launch from $619 a month (2,500 tasks), Scale from $1,349 (5,000), Enterprise typically from $3,099 (10,000 and above); SMS billed on usage
  • Advanced optimization and proof of delivery with barcode and ID scan only from the Scale plan; Launch has basic optimization, photo and signature
  • No vehicle telematics: position comes from the driver app
  • No presence in Italy: English, Spanish and French, data on servers in the United States; the pricing page no longer shows a trial period

Key differences

How Optivo is different

1

Routes built from the day's orders

Drivers leaving in the morning find the route ready, with deliveries already assigned to the right vehicles. OptivoRoute starts from the day's orders and decides which deliveries go on which vehicle, in what order and from which depot, with multiple time windows, capacity per vehicle, priorities, owner-drivers and industry constraints configured in onboarding. Optivo customers use it with three-compartment vans with movable walls (ambient, chilled, frozen) and with pickups and deliveries paired on the same route, returning to the depot and going out again. Onfleet assigns tasks automatically as they come in and adjusts them in real time for traffic, capacity and time windows; advanced optimization sits in the Scale plan and above.

2

Data from the vehicle, beyond position

With OptivoTrack, Optivo's tracking system, you see for each vehicle its position, fuel consumption and fuel anomalies, driving style, CO2 per vehicle and per route, geofences, document deadlines and maintenance. The data comes from a plug & play OBD device, from the CAN bus (the vehicle's data network) or from Cloud OEM with no hardware for factory-connected vehicles (30+ brands from 12 automotive groups). Optivo's driver app records the position once per delivery; it does not track continuously. Onfleet has no vehicle telematics: position comes from the driver's app.

3

A quote on planned volumes instead of a cost per task

With Optivo the quote is sized on the volumes you plan, agreed upfront, not on the individual deliveries executed, and it includes devices, driver app and onboarding. Usually a subscription; on request also a licence installed on the company's own systems. Onfleet is paid per completed task, with unlimited users: Launch from $619 a month for 2,500 tasks, Scale from $1,349 for 5,000, Enterprise typically from $3,099; SMS is billed on usage.

An Italian team and AI on servers in Europe

Optivo is an Italian team that configures your industry's constraints in onboarding and follows the customer directly; Magic Order, the OptivoRoute chat, runs on an AI model managed by Optivo on servers in Europe. Pharmaceutical distribution, food and beverage and agrifood to retail chains are the cases it knows from the inside. Onfleet has no presence in Italy: interface in English, Spanish and French, data on servers in the United States.

When Optivo is the right choice

Optivo is for you if…

Your routes leave the depot with orders known in the morning. You have time windows, capacities and several loading points to respect, and owner-drivers to run in the same plan. You want fuel consumption, driving style and maintenance from the vehicle, not only the phone's position. You prefer an Italian team that configures your constraints and follows you directly. With Optivo kilometres drop by 10-20%, vehicles needed by 5-10%, and payback is usually between 3 and 9 months.

Onfleet at a glance

Onfleet is a private company based in San Francisco that sells a last-mile dispatch platform: it assigns tasks automatically as they come in and adjusts them in real time for traffic, capacity and time windows. It is paid per completed task, with unlimited users, and through Onfleet Connect it links to a network of partner couriers.

Who Onfleet is for

Onfleet is aimed at companies that run on-call deliveries with couriers and have to assign tasks as they come in, paying per completed task.

How to move from Onfleet to Optivo

The move lines up with the end of the Onfleet billing month, so you do not pay for two platforms at once.

  1. 1

    Bring orders and master data as they are

    Customers, addresses and orders come in through Magic Order, the OptivoRoute chat: upload Excel, CSV, PDF or photos, or paste text; the AI extracts the orders, looks up what is missing in your history and asks for confirmation when something does not add up.

  2. 2

    Set up your constraints with the team

    In onboarding the Italian team sets multiple time windows, capacity per vehicle, priorities, owner-drivers, depots and industry rules: what was a stream of tasks in Onfleet becomes a route built from the depot.

  3. 3

    Choose how to track the vehicles

    Optivo-branded plug & play OBD or CAN bus devices, usually on loan or purchased to put them on the balance sheet; Cloud OEM with no hardware for factory-connected vehicles. Onfleet leaves no hardware to return: position came from the app.

  4. 4

    Move the drivers to the app

    Drivers sign in to the app with email and password and close each delivery in three taps, with signature, photo and notes. Recipient notifications go out via WhatsApp, SMS or email.

We'll walk you through the switch on your own data: orders, vehicles and the end date of your current contract.

FAQ

I use Onfleet to assign on-call deliveries within minutes: can I run Optivo alongside it?

Instant assignment of on-call orders stays in the tool you already use. Optivo is built for planned routes: OptivoRoute builds them from the orders known in the morning, the Control Tower updates them mid-route with new stops, and the driver app closes each delivery with signature and photo. With both kinds of delivery, the two tools work on separate flows.

What are Optivo's devices for, if Onfleet already tracks the drivers?

OptivoTrack reads data from the vehicle: a plug & play OBD device, the CAN bus for advanced telemetry, or Cloud OEM with no hardware for factory-connected vehicles. Beyond position you see fuel consumption and fuel anomalies, driving style, CO2 per vehicle and per route, document deadlines and maintenance. Optivo's driver app records the position once per delivery; it does not track continuously. Onfleet reads position from the driver's app and has no vehicle telematics.

Does Optivo send recipient notifications?

Yes, via WhatsApp, SMS or email. Proof of delivery with signature, photo and notes reaches the planner, and the Control Tower flags delays and missed deliveries, so customer service answers the recipient with the data in hand. In Onfleet SMS is billed on usage on top of the plan.

How much does Optivo cost compared with Onfleet?

Optivo's price is built on the number of vehicles, the modules you choose and the volumes you plan, agreed upfront, not on the individual deliveries executed, and it includes devices, driver app and onboarding. The demo with your routes is also for that. Onfleet publishes its prices: per completed task, Launch from $619 a month for 2,500 tasks, Scale from $1,349 for 5,000, Enterprise typically from $3,099, with SMS billed on usage.

How long does it take to move to Optivo?

Onboarding can be immediate for standard configurations and takes up to a few weeks with customization or training: the platform is in the cloud, constraints are configured in onboarding with the Italian team, devices take a few minutes per vehicle to install. Lining the move up with the end of the Onfleet billing month avoids paying for two platforms at once.
