Reschedule Routes – Update Route Start Times
From the Routes Page, you can reschedule one route or multiple routes to update start dates and times. This helps enterprise teams stay flexible when priorities change while keeping schedules aligned with driver availability.
See our dedicated guide to learn more about rescheduling routes.
Duplicate Routes – Copy Already Planned Routes For Future Use
Duplicating routes saves time when planning recurring schedules or adjusting operations. You can duplicate a single route or multiple routes at once, with copies automatically labeled for easy identification.
This allows teams to replicate optimized routes quickly while maintaining operational consistency. See our dedicated guide to learn more about duplicating routes.
Share Routes – Collaborate With Team Members Or Partners
Routes can be shared via email or read-only links, allowing team members or external partners to view route information without editing access. This differs from assigning a route, which grants permission to manage, edit, and complete the route.
Sharing routes improves collaboration while maintaining control over who can modify route details. See our dedicated guide to learn more about sharing routes.
Compare Routes – View Route Metrics Side-By-Side
Route4Me enables enterprise teams to compare routes side-by-side. Comparing routes gives teams clear insight into workload distribution, real-time progress, and vehicle capacity utilization.
The comparison view updates in real time, helping teams make faster routing decisions as conditions change. See our dedicated guide to learn more about comparing routes.
Merge Routes – Combine Multiple Routes Into One Optimized Route
You can merge multiple routes into a single, optimized route, combining stop sequences and directions into one cohesive plan. This reduces redundancy and simplifies route management by consolidating workloads previously split across multiple routes.
Merging routes is especially useful when adjusting schedules or handling unexpected changes such as driver unavailability. See our dedicated guide to learn more about merging routes.
Reverse Routes – Flip Route Destination Order
Route4Me allow routes to be reversed from the Routes List. You can reverse the entire route (including start and end points) or reverse only destinations while keeping the departure address.
This is helpful for round-trip routes or when schedule changes require reversing the stop sequence. See our dedicated guide to learn more about reversing routes.
Re-Optimize Routes – Update Routes After Changes
Route4Me helps you update routes for maximum efficiency after you’ve made changes to destinations or settings. You can re-optimize an entire route or only remaining destinations that have not been completed.
This helps teams keep routes efficient even as priorities shift or new stops are added. See our dedicated guide to learn more about re-optimizing routes.
Delete Routes – Remove Outdated Or Unneeded Routes
From the Routes Page, teams can delete single or multiple routes from the Routes List or Timeline. Removing outdated or canceled routes keeps schedules accurate and prevents unnecessary clutter.
Deletions are permanent and affect all users with access to the route. See our dedicated guide to learn more about deleting routes.
Managing Destinations – Update, Add, Reorder, Or Move Stops
Managing destinations efficiently is key to keeping routes flexible and on schedule. Route4Me helps planners add new stops, update stop order, and move destinations between routes to adapt to changing priorities.
Insert Orders & Locations — Add New Destinations to Routes
Route4Me enables planners to insert new Orders or Locations into existing routes, making it easy to accommodate new deliveries, service calls, or last-minute changes without creating new routes.
New destinations can be assigned to the most efficient routes to maintain balanced workloads and on-time performance when priorities change. See our dedicated guides to learn more about inserting Orders and Locations.
Insert Destinations – Add Stops To Planned Routes
Route4Me enables planners to insert new destinations into existing routes and re-optimize them instantly, helping teams adjust to last-minute changes without creating new routes.
You can add one or multiple stops and choose the most efficient insertion point so the route remains optimized and balanced. See our dedicated guide to learn more about inserting destinations.

Reorder Stops Within A Route – Adjust Sequence Without Recreating Routes
You can adjust the order of stops directly within a route from the Routes Timeline. This makes it easy to update stop sequences to balance workloads, handle last-minute changes, or maintain on-time performance without recreating the route.
See our dedicated guide to learn more about re-sequencing route destinations.
Move Destinations Between Routes – Shift Stops To Balance Workloads
Destinations can also be moved between routes to help balance workloads, add new stops to more efficient routes, or adjust schedules. This flexibility allows planners to keep routes optimized and teams on track without recreating routes.
See our dedicated guide to learn more about moving destinations between routes.
Mobile Driver App And Routes Page Real-Time Data Sync
Route4Me keeps your Routes Page and the Mobile Driver App fully synchronized in real-time.
Drivers and team members can use the Route4Me Android or iOS Driver Mobile App to navigate routes, update destination statuses, attach proof of delivery, and complete other route tasks, with all changes instantly reflected on the Routes Page.
