Flooring Delivery Route Planning Software
Flooring deliveries fail when trucks arrive before contractors are ready or after the installation window closes. Drivant builds schedule-aware routes so every load reaches the right jobsite at the right time.

Flooring delivery has unique challenges
Heavy pallets, narrow delivery windows, jobsite access issues, and contractor coordination. Manual routing cannot handle the complexity at scale.
Heavy, Bulky Loads
Pallets of hardwood, cases of tile, and rolls of carpet are heavy and space-consuming. Truck capacity limits how many stops you can fit on a single run.
Contractor Schedule Alignment
Installation crews need materials before they can start. Deliver too early and there is nowhere to store it. Deliver too late and the crew sits idle, costing you the relationship.
Scattered Jobsite Locations
Residential renovations, commercial build-outs, and new construction sites spread across the metro area. Without optimization, drivers zigzag through the region all day.
Multi-Warehouse Complexity
Orders pulling from different warehouse locations mean separate truck routes that need to be planned in parallel without doubling up on coverage areas.
Built for flooring delivery workflows
Import your delivery orders, set jobsite windows, and let Drivant build the fastest routes from warehouse to every jobsite.
Import Delivery Orders
Drop in Excel or CSV exports from your warehouse management or order system. Drivant auto-detects jobsite addresses, order numbers, material descriptions, and delivery priorities. No data cleanup needed.
Schedule Around Contractors
Set delivery windows per jobsite to align with installation crew schedules. The optimizer sequences deliveries to arrive within each window while minimizing total route time. Share projected ETAs with contractors before trucks roll.
Truck-Optimized Routing
Pro plan includes HERE truck routing that accounts for vehicle weight and dimensions. Routes avoid weight-restricted roads and low clearances so your loaded trucks reach every jobsite without detours.
Export Driver Manifests
Generate print-ready delivery sheets with stop sequence, jobsite addresses, material lists, contractor contacts, and projected ETAs. Export to Excel, CSV, or GPX for GPS navigation. Every driver knows the plan.
One platform, every flooring delivery type
Whether you deliver hardwood or carpet, Drivant handles the routing.
Hardwood and Tile
Route heavy pallet deliveries of hardwood, ceramic, and porcelain tile to residential and commercial jobsites with weight-aware routing.
Carpet and Vinyl
Plan delivery runs for carpet rolls, vinyl planks, and sheet goods with careful sequencing to match installation schedules.
Residential Renovation
Coordinate deliveries to homeowner renovation projects with narrow access, limited staging areas, and specific time-of-day requirements.
Commercial Build-Out
Manage large-volume deliveries to commercial construction and tenant build-out sites with dock scheduling and crane coordination.
A typical day with Drivant
It is 5 AM at a flooring distribution warehouse and dispatch manager Rachel opens Drivant to build the day's routes. She imports 22 delivery orders from the warehouse management system, each tagged with jobsite address, material type, and the contractor's requested arrival window. Drivant geocodes every address and maps them across the metro area.
Rachel creates three truck routes using the Route Builder. The algorithm groups deliveries by geography and sequences them so the heaviest pallets of hardwood and tile ship on the first stops while the truck is fully loaded. She sets a 7:30 AM window for a commercial build-out that needs materials before the tile crew arrives, and a noon window for a residential renovation where the homeowner is only available over lunch.
At 5:20 AM a rush order comes in: 40 cases of luxury vinyl plank needed at a condo project by 10 AM. Rachel adds the stop to the nearest route, re-optimizes, and the schedule shifts by just eight minutes total. She exports three manifests to Excel with stop order, material lists, and contractor phone numbers. Trucks are staged and rolling by 5:45 AM, each driver knowing exactly where they are going and when they need to arrive.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Drivant for flooring delivery operations.
Can Drivant plan routes for heavy flooring material deliveries?
Yes. Drivant's Pro plan includes HERE truck routing which accounts for vehicle weight and dimensions. Routes avoid weight-restricted roads and low clearances, ensuring your trucks carrying pallets of hardwood, tile, or stone reach every jobsite without detours or violations.
How does Drivant help coordinate deliveries with installation crews?
Set delivery time windows per jobsite to align with installation crew schedules. The route optimizer sequences your deliveries so materials arrive before crews need them. Projected arrival times let you communicate precise ETAs to contractors and homeowners.
Can I import delivery orders from our warehouse or ERP system?
Yes. Export your delivery orders as Excel or CSV from any warehouse management, ERP, or order management system, then import into Drivant. The import wizard auto-detects jobsite addresses, order numbers, material descriptions, and delivery priorities.
How does Drivant handle multi-stop delivery runs from the warehouse?
The Route Builder creates optimized multi-stop routes starting from your warehouse. It clusters deliveries by geographic proximity and sequences them to minimize total drive time. Each driver gets a manifest with stop order, addresses, material lists, and projected ETAs.
Can I plan routes across multiple warehouses?
Yes. Create separate routes originating from different warehouse locations within the same project. Each route starts from its assigned depot and covers the nearest delivery sites. This lets you optimize across your full distribution network.
What export formats does Drivant support for delivery drivers?
Export routes as Excel spreadsheets with full delivery details and material lists, CSV for integration with warehouse systems, GPX for GPS navigation devices, or print-ready manifests with stop sequence, jobsite addresses, and ETAs. Drivers get exactly what they need to run their route.
How does Drivant handle rush orders added after routes are already planned?
Add the rush delivery as a new stop on the nearest route, set its time window, and re-optimize. Drivant re-sequences the entire route to accommodate the new stop while keeping all existing delivery windows intact. The updated manifest can be exported and sent to the driver in seconds.
Can Drivant optimize routes for trucks carrying mixed flooring materials?
Yes. Load hardwood pallets, tile cases, and carpet rolls on the same truck and Drivant sequences the stops for the most efficient delivery order. Add notes per stop to indicate material type, so drivers know what to unload at each jobsite without confusion.
How do I share delivery ETAs with contractors and homeowners?
After optimizing a route, Drivant shows projected arrival times for every stop. Export the schedule to Excel or CSV and share the relevant rows with contractors or homeowners. Each recipient sees their specific delivery window and estimated arrival time.
