How to make changes to your routes

There are three ways to make changes to your routes:

1. On the timeline

2. In the route details panel

3. On the map with our lasso tool

1. Make changes on the timeline

Click on a stop on the timeline, then drag-and-drop to move it. You can drag the stop to another part of the same route, or assign it to another route. When you assign a stop to another route, Routific will automatically slot it into the most optimal spot.

2. Make changes using the route details panel

The panel on the right-hand side of your screen shows a detailed list of all the stops and orders on your selected route. You can use this list to reschedule deliveries while still keeping them assigned to the same driver.

To move a stop, just click to select, then drag-and-drop to your new preferred position. Routific will adjust the timing of your route, and update the driver's mobile app.

3. Make changes on the map

You can drag-and-drop to move stops from one route to another on the map.

To select multiple stops and move them as a group, use the lasso tool at the top right-hand corner of your map view.

The lasso tool is a feature that allows users to select multiple objects by drawing a freehand shape around them. Give it a try - it's fun!

Change the direction of your route!

Want your drivers to follow a specific path? Have local knowledge you’d like to apply? Now you can guide the flow of your routes by simply drawing on the map. Just point and click to show the preferred direction — it's that easy. Watch the video to see how it works, then give it a try!

When constraints are exceeded

Routific always makes sure every order is scheduled. If that means breaking a rule you set—such as shift length, vehicle capacity, or delivery time windows—we’ll flag it so you can decide what to do.

How we flag issues

Constraint	What you’ll see
Route shift time Vehicle capacity	If the route’s shift time is exceeded or the vehicle is overcapacity, a yellow ring will appear around the clock or package icon.
Delivery time window	An icon in the timeline and a circular icon beside the order in route details (list view).

What you can do next

Choose one of the following options:

1. Accept the plan as-is
   Publish and assign the routes if the violations are okay for your operation.

2. Fix the violations

   • Unschedule one or more orders.

   • Adjust shift times for the route.

   • Rearrange orders until all constraints are met
