MaxOptra

What MaxOptra is

MaxOptra is cloud based route optimisation and delivery management software for fleet operators, with a focus on mid-market distribution, service and delivery teams. Its planning can create route sequences based on delivery time windows, vehicle types and load capacity. Users can build multi-drop plans automatically or manually, as well as plan fixed routes. The service sends customers email and SMS ETA notifications, including automated progress updates. On iOS and Android, the Driver App provides job notifications, tracking, live reporting and proof of delivery. Electronic records can include signatures, delivery confirmations, photos and comments.

MaxOptra connects with other operational systems through an open API and CSV upload. Listed integration categories include telematics, ePOD, SOP, ERP, WMS and CRM, with TomTom, Geotab, Quartix, Microsoft Dynamics, SuperOffice and Geopal among the named integrations. The subscription SaaS service is available around the clock through web browsers worldwide. MaxOptra says its service infrastructure is hosted within the EEA and conforms with UK DPA 2018 (GDPR). Customers receive a dedicated Implementation Manager, UK-routed support and online support documentation. The company says it supports more than 650 customers worldwide and plans 4 million routes each month.

Who it suits

MaxOptra suits mid-market fleet operators planning distribution, service or delivery work, particularly teams that need time-window and vehicle-aware routing, customer ETA updates and digital proof of delivery. Its API, CSV upload and named integrations may suit operators connecting route planning with other business or fleet systems.

Verdict

Choose MaxOptra if your fleet operation needs route optimisation alongside driver tracking, customer ETA communication and electronic proof of delivery. It is positioned for mid-market distribution, service and delivery operations and offers a free trial, but there is no free plan and the listed under-five-vehicle package has a 12-month contract.
