About Planner
Planner is a cloud-based route planning and optimization solution, designed to help transportation and logistics businesses manage and optimize their fleets. It offers tools for optimizing routes, tracking deliveries, assigning jobs, dispatching, data enrichment, and more. Accessible from any web-enabled device including desktops and mobiles, Highway allows dispatchers and managers to communicate with drivers in real time, from any location. The platform also facilitates real-time location tracking and job assignment.
With Planner, businesses can plan an unlimited number of jobs, assign them to drivers, and plan optimal routes, taking into account details such as freight weight, capacity, distance, traffic predictions, stops needed, and more. Users are able to track jobs in real time and adjust routes at any time if needed. Driver progress is updated automatically using the GPS location and timestamps from the driver’s phone, allowing managers to carry out instant redispatching as soon as a driver is available. Planner can integrate with third party ERP systems to synchronize data automatically.

Great software that saves my team lots of time. Easy recommendation as it's user-friendly and constantly being improved.
Pros
Creating a route can take a few minutes and makes driving to make deliveries efficient. Customer support is quick to respond and donated use of the software to front-line workers. We now pay for the software to do pharmacy deliveries as it's made things a lot better (tracking and route optimization)
Cons
No regional restrictions. Searching by address would be faster if city or province restrictions were in place. When inputting an address, it search globally cause delays in data entry.
