Spoke (Circuit) alternative
BeeRoutes vs Spoke (Circuit)
Spoke Dispatch (formerly Circuit for Teams) is a route planner priced by stops, with unlimited drivers. BeeRoutes adds customer ordering, invoices and stock, and keeps the driver's location private.
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

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.
