EasyRoutes vs Planet Express

Create local delivery routes in seconds

# Save Time & Money Planning

Our delivery management app that makes it simple to plan a delivery route. You can then take your routes and share them with drivers, or you can use our mobile-friendly driver mode to deliver them yourself.

We integrate seamlessly with Shopify and your store's orders. There is no more need to spend time exporting and importing spreadsheets. Simply select the orders you want to deliver, and we will determine the most efficient route to deliver your products.

# Fully Editable Routes

Need to make any changes? No problem! We have a full suite of edit tools so you can customize the route to your heart's content. You can add and edit stops, rearrange stops by dragging and dropping, and even split your orders off into another route.

When you have finished any edits and are satisfied with your routes, you can then head out to deliver them yourself, or you can share links to the routes with your drivers.

# Easy to Share

Dispatching routes to your drivers is easy. You can send routes by copying and pasting a link, or use our shortcuts to send the route by email, SMS/text message, or even WhatsApp. All shared links go to our mobile-friendly Driver View which has been designed to be easy-to-use while in a vehicle.

For shared routes, we generate a secure link that auto-expires after 48 hours. There is no need to set up native iOS or Android apps because our app works on any internet-connected phone or tablet with a web-browser!

# Mobile-friendly Driver View

Driver view has been designed to put all the information and controls you or your driver needs right at your fingertips. It allows your delivery staff to navigate stop-by-stop using their favourite app for driving directions.

From the road, drivers can mark orders as Out for Delivery, Delivered, or Attempted Delivery and your customers can be notified for each of these events. Drivers can also see any important delivery notes and what items they are delivering. They can attach multiple photos as proof of delivery. They can even call or text a customer with the tap of a button.

Shop in the US and ship worldwide thanks to Planet Express

How Planet Express Works?

Planet Express is a US based company located in sunny California where it also has a warehouse. The Package Forwarding service works in 3 simple steps:
1. You set up an account on their site and pay a $5 deposit. This deposit prevents fraudsters from abusing the service and according to Planet works really great. This amount is later added as your shipping credit, so you don't have to worry about it.
2. Then, you will get a US address with a unique suite ID A****. According to this number, the incoming packages will be linked to your account and stored in the Planet Express warehouse.
3. To this address, you can order goods from different US stores, for example, Amazon, BestBuy, NewEgg, etc.
