VERDICT

Should I use OptimoRoute?

OptimoRoute plans and optimizes routes and schedules for deliveries and mobile workforce, bringing the state of the art technology for planning, routing and schedule optimization to everyone. - optimoroute.com

Depends. Buy if you run regular multi-stop routes with a team of drivers and want automated planning and scheduling. Skip if you are a solo driver, a 1-2 person shop, or an enterprise needing full fleet telematics.
