Manage Users – Edit, Assign, Manage And Delete Drivers And Users

With Route4Me, you can create an organized and easily manageable routing team hierarchy of Managers, Route Planners, Dispatchers, Drivers, and other team members. Depending on your specific last mile routing needs and unique business model, each user can have default or customized account-level permissions, route visibility, driver and vehicle access, and more. This way, you can easily structure your team, assign the right work, and assign routes to the right team members in real-time. Furthermore, Route4Me provides real-time team data synchronization across multiple connected devices. In this guide, you can learn how to manage team member user accounts, edit users, and delete users. Additionally, you can learn how to create new users manually and bulk import multiple users. To learn about your current user limit or increase the user limit on your account, please Contact Route4Me Support.
