An Alternative to MaxOptra for Proven, Scalable Route Planning
Outgrowing MaxOptra? Move to route planning that gives your team more control.
Built for the delivery realities your team faces every day
For planners
Build practical routes faster and minimise manual adjustments.
For dispatchers
See what is happening on the road and respond before delivery issues escalate.
For drivers
Give teams clear route guidance, mobile workflows and delivery instructions.
For operations leaders

Make the move without unnecessary disruption
Changing routing technology can feel risky.
Descartes' solutions are designed to reduce that uncertainty. Our team has worked with thousands of fleet operators to help you understand the path forward, protect what already works and improve the areas that may be holding your operation back.
From reactive routing to confident delivery execution
When delivery teams rely on disconnected planning tools, changes create pressure. For example, a late vehicle, missed update or urgent customer request may force dispatchers into manual problem solving.
Descartes helps teams move from reactive routing to controlled execution. Planners create robust plans, dispatchers can adapt faster and leaders can see where delivery performance is improving.
