The Problem

Last mile delivery eats your margin

High stop counts, tight time windows, and urban congestion make the final leg the costliest part of the supply chain. Manual routing makes it worse.

Time-Window Pressure

Same-day and next-day promises come with delivery windows. Miss them and you pay for redelivery, customer complaints, and lost trust.

Urban Density

Apartment buildings, gated communities, and one-way streets turn a simple stop list into a logistical maze. Wrong sequencing means circling blocks repeatedly.

Cost Per Delivery

Fuel, driver hours, and vehicle wear compound with every unnecessary mile. Unoptimized routes can double your cost per drop compared to what is achievable.

Fleet Underutilization

Some drivers finish early while others run overtime. Without intelligent stop assignment, your fleet is either oversized or overworked.

The Solution

Built for last mile delivery operations

Import your parcel manifest, set time windows, and let Drivant build routes that maximize deliveries per driver while hitting every commitment.

Import Parcel Manifests

Drop in Excel or CSV exports from your WMS, TMS, or e-commerce platform. Drivant auto-detects delivery addresses, order numbers, time windows, and priority levels. No reformatting needed.

Optimize with Time Windows

Set delivery windows per stop to match your customer commitments. The route optimizer sequences hundreds of stops to hit every window while minimizing total drive time across your fleet.

Auto-Assign to Drivers

The Route Builder clusters stops geographically and assigns them to vehicles automatically. It balances workloads so every driver carries a full, efficient route without overloading anyone. Teams doing residential furniture drops can also see our home delivery routing page for that workflow.

Export Driver Route Sheets

Generate sequenced stop lists with addresses, ETAs, and delivery notes. Export to Excel, CSV, or GPX for GPS navigation. Each driver gets exactly what they need to start delivering immediately.

Use Cases

One platform, every last mile scenario

Whether you deliver parcels, groceries, or same-day orders, Drivant handles the routing.

E-Commerce Fulfillment

Turn daily order batches into optimized multi-driver routes. Handle hundreds of residential drops with tight delivery promises.

Same-Day Delivery

Build routes on the fly as orders come in. Re-optimize mid-day to slot in new stops without disrupting existing commitments.

Fleet Route Planning

Split large manifests across your fleet automatically. Balance stop counts, distances, and time windows so every vehicle is fully utilized.

Proof of Delivery

Export structured delivery records with stop sequences, projected times, and customer details for auditing and compliance reporting. Food and grocery delivery teams should also review our food and beverage delivery guide for temperature-sensitive route requirements.

Real-World Workflow

A typical day with Drivant

It is 5:00 AM at the fulfillment center. Your route planner imports 480 parcels from last night's order cutoff into Drivant. She filters by delivery zone and the Route Builder clusters stops into 12 driver routes by geography. Forty-two packages have 2-hour same-day delivery windows, so those get hard time constraints. She clicks "Build Routes" and the optimizer sequences each driver's 40 stops to minimize total miles while hitting every time window. One route in the downtown core shows 52 stops, so she splits it into two routes and the optimizer rebalances both in seconds. By 5:30 AM, 12 route sheets are printed with stop sequences, apartment building access codes, and projected ETAs. Drivers load their vans by route and pull out by 6:00 AM. By 2:00 PM, 460 of 480 parcels are delivered. The remaining 20 are on two suburban routes that finish by 4:00 PM. When mid-day orders come in at 11:00 AM, she creates a second wave project, imports the new batch, and dispatches three afternoon drivers with fresh routes by noon.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can Drivant handle high-density urban delivery routes?
Yes. Drivant excels at dense stop clusters common in urban last mile delivery. The optimizer sequences hundreds of stops to minimize backtracking, reduce drive time between stops, and maximize the number of deliveries completed per shift.
How does Drivant help with same-day delivery time windows?
Set delivery windows per stop to match promised time slots. The route optimizer sequences your stops to hit every window while minimizing total route time. You can see projected arrival times before drivers depart and adjust routes if any windows will be missed.
Can I import parcel manifests from my e-commerce platform?
Yes. Export your orders as Excel or CSV from any e-commerce platform or warehouse management system, then import into Drivant. The import wizard auto-detects delivery addresses, customer names, order numbers, and delivery priorities.
How does Drivant maximize fleet utilization?
The Route Builder automatically assigns stops to vehicles based on geographic clusters and delivery windows. It balances workloads across your fleet so every driver carries a full route, reducing the number of vehicles needed and maximizing deliveries per driver.
Can I plan routes for hundreds of stops at once?
Yes. Pro plans support unlimited stops per route. Import your full daily manifest, and the Route Builder splits it into optimized multi-driver routes automatically. Each driver gets a sequenced stop list with projected arrival times.
What export formats does Drivant support for driver routes?
Export routes as Excel spreadsheets with full stop details, CSV for integration with delivery management systems, GPX for GPS navigation devices, or print-ready manifests with stop sequence, addresses, and ETAs. Each driver gets exactly what they need to start delivering.
Can I add mid-day orders to existing routes?
Yes. Create a new project for the second wave of orders, import the fresh batch, and build optimized routes for your afternoon drivers. You can also add stops to an existing route and re-optimize to slot them into the best position without disrupting the original sequence.
Does Drivant work for both residential and commercial delivery addresses?
Yes. Drivant handles residential homes, apartment buildings, office complexes, and commercial storefronts. Set per-stop service durations to account for longer access times at apartment buildings or commercial loading docks. The schedule engine factors this into projected arrival times at every subsequent stop.
