RouteSystem: A New Era in Furniture Delivery Planning
At RetailSystem, we have always believed that choosing the right partners is one of the most important decisions we can make. There are no shortcuts in that process – it takes time, careful consideration, and above all, a shared commitment to delivering excellence for our retailers. That’s why we are delighted to announce the launch of RouteSystem, the seamless integration of RetailSystem with MaxOptra’s advanced route planning software.For several years, we have been working closely with MaxOptra to develop a truly furniture-centric route planning solution. MaxOptra has proved to be an outstanding partner – responsive, innovative, and deeply aligned with our mission to make life easier for retailers. Together, we have created RouteSystem: a powerful tool designed specifically with furniture and bed retailers in mind, to take the stress out of delivery planning and transform the last mile experience.So, what does this mean for RetailSystem users? Quite simply, delivery scheduling just got smarter. Retailers can schedule deliveries in the familiar way – either through the RetailSystem scheduler or directly from within a client’s order. When you are ready to plan a run, it couldn’t be simpler: just drag and drop the orders into the route planning field. Instantly, those orders appear on the RouteSystem dashboard, ready to be optimised. With a single click, the software calculates the optimal route, provides accurate ETAs for your customers, and generates a tracking link so they can follow their delivery in real time.From there, assigning the run to a driver is seamless. The route is pushed directly to the driver’s app – compatible with any smartphone – ensuring they have everything they need at their fingertips. Retailers and their customers can then monitor the driver’s location live, receiving real-time updates that bring clarity, reassurance, and efficiency to the process. The stress of managing last-mile deliveries is dramatically reduced.Crucially, MaxOptra also keeps track of man hours, van hours, and mileage, giving retailers complete visibility of the true cost of every delivery run. This level of insight allows retailers not only to plan better but also to measure efficiency, manage resources more effectively, and make data-driven decisions that can improve profitability.
And the benefits don’t end there. The driver’s app also provides a digital proof of delivery, with signatures, photos, and itemised records. For retailers, this means fewer disputes, faster resolutions, and a clear record of every delivery. For customers, it means confidence that their furniture has been delivered exactly as expected.In an industry where service is everything, RouteSystem represents another game-changing step forward for RetailSystem furniture and bed retailers. By combining the proven power of RetailSystem with MaxOptra’s route optimisation expertise, we are giving our retailers a tool that saves time, reduces stress, cuts hidden costs, and enhances the customer experience from start to finish.We are proud to bring RouteSystem to the market, and even prouder to have developed it in partnership with MaxOptra. This launch underlines what we have always believed at RetailSystem: when you choose the right partners and take the time to do things properly, the results can truly transform the way retailers work.
RouteSystem is here – and it’s set to revolutionise delivery planning for furniture retailers everywhere.
