Driver Route Management: Before & After

Written by Jessie Guerra
Updated this week

Overview

This document shows you the updated driver app side by side with the old version. Every step of the route flow is covered — from viewing your route to marking it complete. Use this as a reference when training drivers or onboarding new team members.

OLD VERSION

The previous driver app experience.

NEW VERSION

The updated experience — cleaner, faster, smarter.

Step 1 – Home Screen

This is the first screen drivers see when they open the app. It shows all upcoming stops, the time window, and the map overview.

BEFORE (Old Driver App)

AFTER (New Driver App)

  • Home screen of Driver App shows total number of pickups, deliveries, and windows scheduled, with the ability to toggle views between today and tomorrow, by location

  • Ability to build route

  • Home screen shows a map-forward view of all routes and stops for today, by location

  • Pre-built routes are shown on home screen, with ability to also create a new route if needed.

Step 2 — Build Route

This is where drivers can build a new route directly from the driver app, pulling stops from all windows for the day.

BEFORE (Old Driver App)

AFTER (New Driver App)

  • Clicking ‘Build Route” will open the windows screen where drivers can choose from all available stops

  • Map view is available by clicking on “Map”

  • Driver can select start point and end point

  • Stops can be edited by dragging & dropping, flipping route, and more

  • Clicking “New Route” will open the windows screen where driver can choose from all available windows and filter by pickup, delivery, routed/unrouted

  • Map view is displayed prominently

  • Driver selects start point and end point

  • After creating route, driver can edit route (flip, drag & drop, add new, remove, optimize)

  • Full map view at top with all stop pins visible

Step 3 – Start Route & Navigate to Stops

Once the stop order looks right, the driver confirms and starts the live route. This sends SMS notifications to customers that the driver is on the way. Once the route is live, drivers see the full stop list and can navigate to each stop. The current stop is always highlighted at the top.

BEFORE (Old Driver App)

AFTER (New Driver App)

Start Route

  • Clicking “Start Route” will show a confirmation modal

  • Route goes live — driver is now on the Live Route view

Stop Detail & Completing a Stop

Live Route & Navigation

  • Stop list below the map shows each stop with order number, customer name, address, time window, and order ID

  • "0/6 Stops Completed" progress tracker visible at a glance
