Time lost to manual routing doesn’t just slow down dispatchers—it slows down revenue. Every unnecessary mile increases fuel costs and reduces how many appointments or deliveries your team can complete. Manual routing produces inconsistent results because it doesn’t evaluate constraints like drive time, customer availability, or vehicle capacity. The more complex your operations, the bigger the cost of doing routing by hand.

When dispatchers build routes manually, they rely on intuition rather than data. Without optimization logic, it’s nearly impossible to evaluate all variables—drive time, service windows, capacity, driver availability, and regional density—at the same time. That’s why manual routing often results in crisscrossing routes, overloaded days for certain drivers, and underutilized vehicles on others. Routing shouldn’t rely on gut decisions; it should be driven by data. Automated routing platforms eliminate guesswork and ensure every stop lands on the most efficient route possible.

Google Maps tells you how to get somewhere. Mapline tells you the best way to get everywhere. With Mapline, users upload thousands of stops in a spreadsheet, and routes are automatically optimized based on time windows, delivery priorities, vehicle limits, or technician skills. What takes hours in Google Maps takes minutes in Mapline.

Google Maps can display directions, but it cannot distribute workloads across multiple drivers or balance routes based on business constraints. Businesses need to plan for capacity, technician skill, time windows, and priority—Google Maps doesn’t consider any of these inputs. If you tried to use it to plan 300 delivery stops, you’d be forced to create multiple maps manually and assign routes one driver at a time. That results in guesswork, not optimization. Mapline automatically splits stops across unlimited vehicles and builds balanced, efficient routes in minutes.

Upload thousands of locations from Excel or Google Sheets. Mapline geocodes them automatically and plots them on the map—even if your addresses aren’t perfect. You can include custom columns like priority, delivery window, stop type, or required vehicle equipment.

Select the criteria that matter: time windows, priority stops, vehicle availability, technician skill, or delivery quantity. Mapline applies your routing rules automatically.

Mapline processes all stops and assigns them to optimized routes in minutes, not hours. Each vehicle gets a route that balances distance, capacity, and time. No manual sequencing required.

You can export the routes or send them directly to drivers. They’ll get a link with turn-by-turn navigation from their mobile device. Drivers don’t need a Mapline account to receive routes.

Whether you’re routing five trucks or 500, Mapline distributes stops automatically. No more splitting routes by hand to match your fleet’s capacity.

Mapline respects delivery or appointment windows, preventing unrealistic expectations or callback costs.

You can include vehicle capacity, technician skill, delivery type, or stop duration. Mapline optimizes it all simultaneously.

Optimize delivery routes based on priority, vehicle load capacity, and customer windows.

Assign technicians based on skill and location, and reduce drive time between jobs.

Route inspectors to multiple sites efficiently and eliminate manual scheduling spreadsheets.
