- you want to export routes to Garmin navigation devices
OptimoRoute alternative
BeeRoutes vs OptimoRoute
OptimoRoute is a route and schedule planner priced per driver. BeeRoutes plans routes too, priced per company rather than per driver, and adds a customer ordering portal, invoices and stock.
The short answer
BeeRoutes may suit you better if…
- you are a distributor delivering to shops, cafés, restaurants or sites
- you want orders, invoices and stock in the same tool as the routes — without add-ons
- your business customers should order online themselves
- you want built-in voice navigation and customers who get a delivery window, not the driver's live position

Is BeeRoutes a good alternative to OptimoRoute?
If you are a distributor who wants customer ordering, routes, invoices and stock in one place, yes. If you mostly schedule field-service visits or need multi-day long-haul planning, OptimoRoute may fit better.
How good is BeeRoutes' route optimization?
BeeRoutes optimizes with time windows, receiving hours, weight and volume, shifts, breaks and vehicle features. On the standard Solomon benchmark it stays on average within about 1 % of the best-known solutions with 5 seconds per problem.
Can my customers see where the driver is?
Not on purpose: BeeRoutes gives customers a one-hour delivery window calculated from the live route, and keeps the driver's exact position visible to your office only.
