How farm delivery businesses grow with Routific

Routific is used by farms, CSAs, food hubs, cooperatives, and wholesale distributors that run their own deliveries. Whether you drop 70 CSA boxes on a Friday or 100 wholesale orders a day, we help you do it fast, fresh, and on time.
With Routific [drivers] can know by Thursday evening what their route is going to be, and what the estimated time is, so they know how long they'll be working — and we still have the flexibility to make last-minute changes.

Everything you need to manage farm deliveries

Upload delivery orders

Drop in a spreadsheet, sync your store, or connect your farm e-commerce platform through our integrations. However your orders arrive — website, Shopify store, CSA subscription, standing wholesale account, or phone — Routific pulls them into one place, ready to route.

Optimize your routes

Cut your cost per delivery by up to 25%. Routific builds practical routes that respect every delivery window, so perishables spend less time on the truck. We factor in real traffic patterns and driver happiness — and skip the messy "spaghetti routes" drivers hate.

Routific's route optimization engine creates clean clusters and reduces backtracking on its routes, resulting in more efficiencies and happier drivers.

Dispatch to the driver app

Send finished routes straight to your drivers' phones — no more handwritten lists, and no more route knowledge trapped in one driver's head. Drivers get turn-by-turn navigation in Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps, delivery notes to cut failed drops, and proof of delivery by photo or signature.

Dispatch routes to a driver app so delivery drivers can follow the optimized delivery routes with live tracking for the dispatcher.

Keep customers in the loop

Send automated SMS or email notifications with a live tracking link, so customers know when their delivery will arrive and can be there to receive it. They watch the driver approach in real time and get notified the moment delivery is complete — fewer missed deliveries, fresher food.

Automated SMS notifications with delivery tracker link for recipients, with accurate AI-powered ETAs that consider historical traffic patterns while optimizing routes.

Upgrading from DIY route planning?

Most of our farm delivery customers started out planning routes by hand — juggling Google Maps and spreadsheets, letting drivers figure out their own order, chasing them for status. Routific automates all of it. Import your first spreadsheet, see optimized routes in minutes, get drivers on the app the same day. No implementation project, no IT team.

Frequently asked questions

What types of farm businesses use Routific?

Routific is built for businesses that grow or aggregate food and deliver it themselves — family farms, CSAs, farm-to-table brands, food hubs, cooperatives, and wholesale distributors. Customers range from a single-van farm dropping 70 CSA boxes a week to wholesale operations running 100+ restaurant deliveries a day.

Can Routific handle CSA and farm box subscriptions?

Yes. Upload your weekly subscriber list as a spreadsheet or sync it from your farm e-commerce platform, and Routific builds an optimized route for the run. Because CSA delivery lists are largely the same each week, you can route them in minutes and adjust for add-ons, skips, and vacation holds.

Does Routific work for wholesale farm-to-restaurant delivery?

Yes. Wholesale routes mean dense, multi-stop urban runs with tight receiving windows — exactly what Routific is built for. Set each restaurant's delivery window, plan one route or four, and give the office visibility into where every order is. Fleet tools built for long-haul trucking aren't designed for this kind of delivery.

Can Routific help with perishable produce, meat, and dairy deliveries?

Yes. Set a delivery window for each stop and Routific builds routes that respect those windows while minimizing drive time, so perishables spend less time on the truck. You can prioritize your most delicate orders, and use tags to organize deliveries by zone, vehicle, or temperature needs so the cold chain is maintained.

Does Routific integrate with Barn2Door or Local Food Marketplace?

Yes. Routific connects with farm-focused e-commerce platforms including Barn2Door and Local Food Marketplace, so orders flow in automatically without manual data entry. You can also upload a spreadsheet or use the Routific API to sync from another system or Shopify store.

Is there a farm delivery app for my drivers?

Yes. The Routific driver app is free and runs on any iOS or Android phone. Drivers get their optimized route, built-in navigation, per-stop delivery notes, and proof-of-delivery capture by photo or signature — so route knowledge lives in the system, not in one driver's head.

How much does Routific cost for a farm delivery business?

Routific uses pay-as-you-go pricing based on orders scheduled per month — not per vehicle or driver. Your first 100 orders each month are free; up to 1,000 orders is a flat $150/month; above that, per-order pricing runs from $0.15 down to $0.03 at 20,000+ orders. Every plan includes route optimization, the driver app, live tracking, and proof of delivery; SMS notifications are an add-on.

What's the best route optimization software for farm delivery?

The best fit depends on your operation, but farm delivery has specific needs: delivery-window constraints the algorithm actually respects, speed that keeps perishables fresh, integrations with farm e-commerce platforms, and a driver app your team will actually use. Routific is purpose-built for multi-stop perishable delivery — rated 4.9 on Capterra with 140+ reviews, and trusted by farm, food, and grocery delivery businesses across North America and Europe.

How long does it take to get started with Routific?

Most teams are up and running within an hour or two — upload a spreadsheet of orders, add your drivers and vehicles, and optimize. There's no installation or onboarding project. If you connect an online store or order management system, API integration typically takes a couple of weeks.
