Wholesail's route management system groups orders by geography and schedule, assigns drivers, surfaces delivery windows to your accounts, and gives dispatch a live board for every active run. Stop managing routes in someone's head. Live in under 2 weeks.
Routing inefficiency costs the average mid-size distributor 6–9% of total delivery costs annually.
Route optimization happens in a driver's head or on a printed sheet. When they go out of sequence, no one knows until the last account is missed.
A last-minute delivery change — a skip, a new stop, an address correction — means calling the driver mid-route and hoping they catch it.
Accounts have no idea when their delivery is arriving. They call the office to ask, and your team has no better answer than 'sometime this afternoon.'
When a route is running behind, you find out when an account calls to complain — not while there is still time to adjust.
Routes are grouped by geography and schedule in the system. Drivers have a defined sequence. Dispatch sees exactly who is running out of order before it becomes a problem.
Dispatch updates the route in the portal. The change is reflected immediately. Drivers see updated stops without a phone call interrupting their run.
Accounts see their estimated delivery window directly in their portal. No calls. No guessing. Your office handles other things.
The route board shows every active route's real-time status. Dispatch can see which routes are on track and which need attention before accounts are impacted.

We had three drivers running their own versions of our routes. Every week someone was out of sequence and an account got pushed to the end of the day. Since we set up Wholesail's route board, dispatch actually knows what's happening in real time. Our accounts stopped calling about delivery windows because they can just check their portal. It changed how our whole operation runs.
