Delivery Scheduling and Optimization

The AntsRoute extension gives online sales sites increased control over their local deliveries. AntsRoute allows sellers to choose how deliveries are made, increase the efficiency of their delivery staff, improve customer service, and analyze delivery productivity with custom digital reports.

AntsRoute saves money by cutting fleet operating costs by 35% and mileage by 20%. Sellers will also save time with automated scheduling features. Improving efficiency also reduces the environmental impact of product delivery.

The AntsRoute delivery optimization module simplifies issues regarding local delivery processes for online sales sites. Online sellers can automatically delegate their deliveries to a carrier or organize them by their own resources.
