Drag-and-drop route planner for indie remote delivery ops
Remote indie teams cannot effectively coordinate last-mile delivery due to the lack of suitable indie-friendly logistics SaaS tools.
RouteIndie lets coordinators build optimized routes visually, assign to drivers, and track adherence remotely. Drivers get mobile-optimized lists with nav links, updating progress instantly. Perfect for small teams juggling 10-100 daily deliveries without pro software costs.
