Quartix alternative

Optivo and Quartix compared for teams that plan routes and need proof of delivery

Optivo builds routes from the day's orders and closes each delivery in the driver app with signature, photo and notes. Quartix is UK vehicle tracking with a public price list, for knowing where vehicles are. This comparison is for teams that, beyond seeing their vehicles, have to decide who delivers what and in which order.

Why people look for a Quartix alternative

Fleets that use Quartix for deliveries reach the same point as with most telematics: vehicle positions are there, the route is still built by hand. The Italian site lists route optimization under the Info Plus plan without describing how it works, and for real planning Quartix points to its partner MaxOptra, on a separate subscription. The mobile app and Quartix Check cover vehicle position and inspections; proof of delivery with signature and photo is not there. People look for an alternative when they need planning, tracking and a driver app in one product, from a vendor that configures their industry constraints.

  • Route optimization is named under the Info Plus plan with no functional description; for planning, Quartix refers customers to its partner MaxOptra (blog post, 6 February 2025)
  • No proof of delivery: the mobile app and Quartix Check (vehicle inspections, available in the UK, US and France) are built for vehicle monitoring
  • Contracts of 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 months with no automatic renewal; devices on monthly rental or purchased
  • The product is built around the vehicle: position, driving style, fuel card, optional dashcam

Key differences

How Optivo is different

1

Building the routes or seeing the vehicles

With Optivo, tomorrow's route comes out already built. OptivoRoute, Optivo's route optimization software, starts from the day's orders and decides which deliveries go on which vehicle, in what order and from which depot, with time windows (including multiple ones), per-vehicle capacities and industry constraints configured during onboarding. Optivo customers run it with three-compartment variable-geometry vans (dry, chilled, frozen) and with pickups and deliveries paired in the same route. Quartix shows where vehicles are, with updates every one or two minutes depending on the plan, and names route optimization under Info Plus without describing it; for planning it points to its partner MaxOptra.

Proof of delivery or vehicle inspections

Optivo's driver app runs in the browser, with nothing to install, and is built for the delivery: login with email and password, three taps to close a delivery (select, photo or signature, confirm), proof of delivery with signature, photo and notes, notifications to the recipient via WhatsApp, SMS or email. The Control Tower flags delays and missed deliveries and adds new stops mid-route. The Quartix mobile app is for following vehicles; Quartix Check, available in the UK, US and France, lets drivers complete vehicle inspections and report incidents.

3

A quote on volumes or a public price list

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 performed, and includes Optivo-branded OBD or CAN devices (normally on loan, or purchased if you prefer to capitalise them), the driver app and onboarding. Quartix publishes its prices: in the UK £9.99, £11.99 and £15.99 per vehicle per month, in Italy €9.99, €11.99 and €13.99 (Info Point, Info Plus, Info Drive), Enterprise on request, with contracts of 12 to 60 months, no upfront cost and devices rented or purchased.

4

Who runs the onboarding

Optivo is an Italian team that configures your industry constraints during onboarding and follows the customer directly: pharmaceutical distribution, food and beverage, agrifood deliveries to retail chains are the cases it knows from the inside. Quartix sells in Italy with an Italian site and price list, with email and phone support included in the plans.

When Optivo is the right choice

Optivo is for you if…

You already see where your vehicles are, but tomorrow's route is still built by hand. You have time windows, capacities and several loading points to respect, and you want the plan ready in 5-30 minutes. Your customers need proof of delivery with signature, photo and notes, and you want to notify them via WhatsApp, SMS or email. You prefer an Italian team that configures your industry constraints and follows you directly.

How to move from Quartix to Optivo

Quartix contracts run from 12 to 60 months and do not renew automatically: the switch is aligned with the end date, so you never pay two fees at once.

  1. 1

    Set the date on the contract end

    Check the term you signed with Quartix (12 to 60 months, no automatic renewal). The Optivo team activates the platform when the contract ends, with no months of overlap.

  2. 2

    Bring orders and master data as they are

    Customers, addresses and orders come in through Magic Order, the chat in OptivoRoute: 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.

  3. 3

    Choose how to track the vehicles

    Optivo-branded OBD plug & play or CAN bus devices, normally on loan or purchased, on the vehicles that need them; Cloud OEM with no hardware for factory-connected ones. Rented Quartix devices go back to the supplier at the end of the contract.

  4. 4

    Configure the constraints with the team

    During onboarding you set time windows, capacities, depots and industry rules. Drivers log into the app with email and password and close a delivery in three taps.

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

FAQ

How is Optivo different from Quartix route optimization?

OptivoRoute starts from the day's orders, distributes them across vehicles, decides the order and the starting depot, and respects time windows, capacities and industry constraints. With Optivo, kilometres drop by 10-20% and fuel by 10-15%. Quartix names route optimization under its Info Plus plan without describing how it works, and in a February 2025 blog post it points to its partner MaxOptra, on a separate subscription, for route planning.

Do Optivo and Quartix have a driver app with proof of delivery?

Optivo's driver app closes a delivery in three taps, with signature, photo and notes, and notifies the recipient via WhatsApp, SMS or email. Quartix has a mobile app for following vehicles and, in the UK, US and France, Quartix Check for driver vehicle inspections and incident reporting; proof of delivery is not offered.

How much does Optivo cost compared with Quartix?

Optivo's price is built on the number of vehicles, the modules you choose and the volumes you plan, agreed upfront, and includes devices, driver app and onboarding. Thirty minutes of demo on your own data gets you to a concrete number. Quartix publishes its prices: in the UK £9.99, £11.99 or £15.99 per vehicle per month depending on the plan, in Italy €9.99 to €13.99, Enterprise on request, on 12 to 60 month contracts with no upfront cost (checked on 9 November 2026).

How do vehicles connect to Optivo if I have Quartix devices today?

With Optivo each vehicle connects in one of two ways: with an Optivo-branded OBD or CAN device, normally on loan or purchased if you prefer to capitalise it, or with Cloud OEM and no hardware for factory-connected vehicles. During onboarding the choice is made vehicle by vehicle. Rented Quartix devices go back to the supplier when the contract ends.

How long does it take to move to Optivo?

For standard configurations, onboarding can be immediate: the platform runs in the cloud and devices install in a few minutes per vehicle. With customizations or team training it can take up to a few weeks, with constraints configured during onboarding together with the Optivo team. Aligning the switch with the end of the Quartix contract avoids paying twice.
