A spreadsheet can hold data, but it can’t *interpret* it. It doesn’t know which stops are closest together, how long each service takes, or whether a customer only accepts deliveries after 10 AM. Dispatchers are forced to run manual distance calculations or flip between Excel and Google Maps just to determine basic sequencing. Bulk routing software automatically evaluates these constraints and generates the best route possible—no calculations required.

Spreadsheets don’t adapt; they reset. When a customer cancels, adds a stop, or shifts their delivery window, dispatchers have to manually recalculate routes—often undoing hours of planning. The moment something changes, the spreadsheet becomes outdated, forcing teams to re-sequence drivers, recut territories, and rebuild routes from scratch. This disrupts the entire day, increases workload, and opens the door to errors. Bulk routing software solves this by re-optimizing routes instantly, without blowing up the plan.

Google Maps will tell you how to get somewhere, but it won’t help you plan the best way to get everywhere. Mapline evaluates all stops, assigns them to the right driver, and sequences them based on your rules. Instead of creating multiple Google Maps files and trying to divide them manually, Mapline handles all routes at once—and automatically balances workloads across your fleet.

Google Maps and similar tools assume one route, one driver—period. They don’t understand fleet workloads, vehicle capacities, or how to distribute stops efficiently across multiple drivers. Dispatchers end up dividing stops manually, guessing who should take what, and hoping the balance is fair. Mapline handles this automatically by assigning stops across the fleet based on time, distance, and constraints. No more “Route A is overloaded while Route B finishes at lunchtime.”

Upload a CSV, Excel sheet, or Google Sheet—Mapline geocodes locations automatically, even when addresses are messy or partial. Optional fields like time windows, stop priority, load quantity, or technician skill can be included as columns.

This is where routing becomes strategic. Set rules like maximum route duration, number of stops, vehicle capacity, priority stops, or service duration. Mapline uses these constraints to build the smartest route possible—not just the shortest route.

Mapline builds optimized routes for every vehicle in minutes. It automatically distributes stops based on your inputs and shows each driver’s route visually. No guesswork. No rearranging rows. No recutting routes every time plans change.

Once routes are ready, export them or send them directly to drivers with a single click. Drivers receive a mobile-friendly route link with navigation—no login required and no PDFs to print or manage.

Teams that switch from manual spreadsheets to automated routing report saving several hours per day. Planners can generate routes in minutes—freeing up time for dispatch, communication, and oversight instead of data shuffling.

Optimized routes eliminate backtracking, excess miles, and inefficient sequencing—directly reducing fuel costs and vehicle wear. Small efficiencies add up quickly across large fleets.

When routes are optimized, drivers spend less time driving and more time completing work. Bulk routing increases daily job capacity without adding vehicles or headcount.
