Start, Navigate And Complete Routes On The Route4Me Mobile App

Route4Me’s route navigation app provides seamless continuity through the entire process of starting, navigating, and completing dispatched last mile routes. In this guide, you can learn how to find and start routes, use Route4Me’s In-App Voice-Guided Navigation, add destination statuses, collect proof of delivery (POD), visit (POV), or service (POS), complete routes, and more.

Open And Start Routes On The Route4Me App For Drivers

After you set up and sign in to the Route4Me app, tap the Menu Button in the top-right, then tap “Routes” or “View All Routes” to open the Routes List.

To see dispatched routes assigned to you, tap “My Routes“. Swipe down on the Routes List to refresh and load the most recent data. You can also tap the Search Icon to find routes by name, scheduled month, city, or other attributes.

Tap a route to open it. Alternatively, tap the Three-dot Icon in the Routes List and select “Open Route” from the menu. Next, simply tap “Start Route” to open the first destination and change the route’s status to “Started“.

NOTE: When opening an already started route, “Start Route” is replaced with “Navigate“.

Open Destinations List And Share ETAs With Tracking Links

At any point, you can open the Destinations List by dragging the route information panel up or tapping the list button in the bottom-right. Tap a destination to open it or tap the Information Icon to see more details about it.

You can also tap the Map Icon in the upper-right of an open destination to see where the address is located on the map.

To open a different destination, swipe sideways. When you open a later or earlier Destination than the next scheduled one, you can tap “Go to Current” to open the next scheduled destination.

If you haven’t started the route, then the current destination is the route’s origin. There, you can tap “Start Route” to open the first scheduled destination and change the route’s status to “Started“.

After starting a route, you can access additional destination options from the Three-dot Icon or on the Destination Info screen.

To send an ETA and tracking link, simply tap “Share ETA“. Route4Me’s delivery routing software will automatically prepopulate a text message with a link to the Order Tracking Portal and the phone number associated with the destination.

Arrive At Destinations And Complete Visitation With Statuses

When you reach a destination, the app will automatically pull up the navigation info panel, where you can confirm your arrival by tapping the “Arrived” button. The app will open the proof of visit and delivery screen where you can set Destination Statuses.

By default, the “Completed” status will be selected. You can tap another status to select it instead. Then, complete any “Mandatory Tasks” if present by tapping on a task. Finally, tap “Mark as Completed”

NOTE: The app automatically opens the next destination after completing a visit with any status. At any time, you can go to the Destinations List to view and manage Destination Info and any proof of visit or delivery notes you’ve collected.

Collect Digital Proof Of Visit And Delivery With Route4Me App

To complete proof of visit workflows, simply follow the instructions shown in the app after opening a mandatory or optional task.

Workflow tasks can involve capturing media such as photos or videos, scanning order barcodes, collecting customer information, selecting release codes, etc. Learn more about proof of visit workflows and driver tasks.

Finish Routes On Route4Me’s Mobile Route Navigation App

After you’ve set a status for each destination, the app will automatically prompt you to end the route. If you’re on another screen, tap the button at the bottom to open the same prompt. Confirm you want to end the route by tapping “Yes“.

On the “Route Completed” screen, you can tap “Return to Routes List” to go back to the list of dispatched routes or “Return to Route” if you need to review or manage route and destination details.
