Route gives mid-size e-commerce brands the delivery infrastructure of a top-5 carrier — without the SLA vagueness, the failed-attempt costs, or the 3-day integration timelines.
Most carriers lock in routes at 5 AM and don't adjust. Route's dispatch engine pulls live traffic, weather, and access data every 90 seconds — rerouting drivers before a delay becomes a miss.
Failed first attempts cost $4.20 each in reattempt logistics. Route's recipient profiling predicts delivery windows when someone will actually be home — or routes to secure alternatives.
Traditional carriers run 80–120 stops per driver per day from distant depots. Route operates micro-hubs within 2.1 miles of 94% of urban delivery addresses — the final leg is measured in city blocks.
Chargeback disputes and "where's my package" tickets drain ops teams. Route's POD system captures geo-tagged photos at delivery, auto-detects damage, and triggers exception workflows before the customer contacts support.
Industry averages vs. Route performance. Numbers sourced from carrier SLA reports, e-commerce returns data, and 2025 logistics benchmarks.
A 10,000 parcel/month brand on an average carrier loses $14,200–$22,800 per month in preventable delivery failures.
Reattempts + chargebacks + support tickets + customer churn. Route eliminates 85% of that exposure.
Route's REST API and native SDK handle authentication, rate calculation, label generation, and webhook delivery. No custom middleware, no batch upload CSVs, no carrier portal logins.
npm install @route/sdkroute.init({ apiKey: process.env.ROUTE_KEY })await route.createShipment({ orderId, address })route.on("delivered", (event) => updateOrder(event))We analyze your current carrier performance against Route benchmarks. You get a report showing exactly where parcels fail, what it costs, and what your operation looks like at each volume tier.
