OptimoRoute alternative

Optivo and OptimoRoute compared for teams that want to see routes and vehicles together

With Optivo, routes, on-board devices and the driver app sit in one contract: OptivoRoute, Optivo's route optimization software, builds the routes and an Italian team configures your constraints. OptimoRoute is cloud software for planning on your own, priced per driver. The comparison is for teams that pay per driver and keep vehicle data elsewhere.

Why people look for an OptimoRoute alternative

Teams using OptimoRoute for everyday routes usually reach three questions. The first is about the plan: OptimoRoute's FAQ states that planning does not consider traffic, and public reviews keep returning to dense stops sequenced out of order, with drivers doubling back. The second is about the vehicles: OptimoRoute reads no data from the vehicle, so fuel consumption, vehicle position and driving style stay in another system, under another contract. The third is about the bill: you pay per driver per month, and proof of delivery and customer notifications only come with the Pro plan.

  • Price per driver per month: Lite $35.10 and Pro $44.10 billed annually; proof of delivery and customer notifications only from the Pro plan
  • Planning does not consider traffic (OptimoRoute FAQ); the drivers' navigation apps do, on the road
  • No telematics integration: position comes from the driver app; towards navigators only Garmin and TomTom exports, plus APIs
  • Public reviews keep returning to dense stops sequenced out of order and drivers doubling back
  • An initial learning curve is reported in reviews

Key differences

How Optivo is different

1

A quote on volumes instead of a fee per driver

With Optivo you get one quote for routes, vehicles and the driver app. It is sized on the volumes you plan, agreed upfront, not on the individual deliveries executed, and it includes devices and onboarding. Usually a subscription; on request also a licence installed on the company's own systems. OptimoRoute is paid per driver per month: $35.10 for the Lite plan and $44.10 for Pro billed annually, and every extra driver is another line on the bill.

2

The morning plan and the day that follows

The planner knows where each route stands without phoning the drivers. OptivoRoute builds the plan with multiple time windows, capacity per vehicle, priorities and multiple depots; then the Control Tower, the real-time view of the routes, flags delays and missed deliveries and adds new stops mid-route, recalculating the route. The optimized plan is kept and compared with the actual trace. OptimoRoute states in its FAQ that planning does not consider traffic and leaves it to the drivers' navigation apps.

3

Vehicle data in the same contract as the routes

With OptivoTrack, Optivo's tracking system, you see next to the routes each vehicle's 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, meaning the manufacturer's cloud with no hardware on board, for factory-connected vehicles (30+ brands from 12 automotive groups). OptimoRoute has no telematics integrations: position comes from the driver's app, and towards navigators there are Garmin and TomTom exports and the APIs.

4

A team that configures your industry's constraints

The rules you keep in your head today become constraints in the plan. Optivo is an Italian team that configures them in onboarding and follows the customer directly: three-compartment vans with movable walls (ambient, chilled, frozen), pickups and deliveries paired on the same route with a return to the depot, transfers outside the depot, retail chain sequences. Pharmaceutical distribution, food and beverage and agrifood to retail chains are the cases it knows from the inside. OptimoRoute is built for self-service: open the account, upload the orders and go.

When Optivo is the right choice

Optivo is for you if…

Every morning you plan deliveries with vans and light vehicles and have to fit time windows, capacities and several loading points together. You want to know where the vehicles are and how much fuel they burn, not only where the driver's phone is. Today you pay for one tool for routes and another for vehicles, and you would rather have a single contract. You want an Italian team that sets up the constraints with you and stays with you after go-live. The return grows with the number of vehicles: with Optivo the diesel saved is worth €300-1,000 a year for a van under 3.5 t covering 30,000 km.

OptimoRoute at a glance

OptimoRoute sells cloud software for planning the routes of drivers and technicians, with a subscription per driver per month and self-service plans up to 100 drivers. You set it up yourself, with a 30-day trial and no credit card; the site, help center and toll-free number are also in Italian.

Who OptimoRoute is for

OptimoRoute is aimed at teams that plan the routes of drivers and technicians on their own and want to pay per driver, with self-service plans up to 100 drivers.

How to move from OptimoRoute to Optivo

If you are on annual billing, the move lines up with the end of the OptimoRoute plan, so you do not pay two fees 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. The file you upload to OptimoRoute today works as it is.

  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 you configured alone in OptimoRoute you do together, on your real routes.

  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. OptimoRoute leaves no hardware to return.

  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

How does Optivo follow the day after the morning plan?

Optivo builds the plan in the morning with time windows, capacities and multiple depots and then follows it: the Control Tower shows the routes in real time, flags delays and missed deliveries, and adds new stops mid-route, recalculating the route. The optimized plan is kept and compared with the actual trace, and the gap shows vehicle by vehicle, in kilometres and in euros at the cost per kilometre you set. OptimoRoute states in its FAQ that planning does not consider traffic and leaves it to the navigation apps.

What changes in practice with vehicle data from OptivoTrack?

With OptivoTrack the vehicle reports on its own: a plug & play OBD device, the CAN bus for advanced telemetry, or Cloud OEM with no hardware for factory-connected vehicles. You see position, fuel consumption and fuel anomalies, driving style, CO2 per vehicle and per route, document deadlines and maintenance. The driver app records the position once per delivery; it does not track continuously. In OptimoRoute the position comes from the driver's phone and no data comes from the vehicle.

Is proof of delivery included with Optivo?

Yes. Proof of delivery with signature, photo and notes, and recipient notifications via WhatsApp, SMS or email, are part of Optivo's driver app, included in the quote. In OptimoRoute proof of delivery and customer notifications come with the Pro plan, $44.10 per driver per month billed annually.

How can I try Optivo before deciding?

In a demo with your routes: you bring one day's orders, the team configures the main constraints and you see how OptivoRoute distributes them across the vehicles. With Optivo kilometres drop by 10-20% and fuel by 10-15%, with payback in 3-9 months.

How much does Optivo cost compared with OptimoRoute?

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. OptimoRoute publishes its prices: $35.10 (Lite) or $44.10 (Pro) per driver per month billed annually, Custom on quote.

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. If you are on annual billing with OptimoRoute, lining the move up with the renewal date avoids paying twice.
