Roadmap

Being built, planned, shipped.

Three honest columns. In progress means code is being written now, not that we would like to; planned means decided, not dated; shipped carries the date and where to find it. Tell us what should move up.

Code is being written now.

Nothing is being written right now — the next things are under Planned.

    Planned

    5

    Decided, not dated.

    1. Native driver apps

      iOS and Android apps for drivers who want push notifications and a home-screen icon; the no-login link stays.

    2. More languages

      Drive mode and customer notices in languages beyond English and Spanish.

    3. QuickBooks

      Delivery fees and outcomes posted to QuickBooks, so the books match the routes.

    4. Gift orders

      A recipient who isn't the buyer: notices to the right person, and a tracking page that says who sent it.

    5. Status history

      The status page keeps a record of past incidents and uptime, not only the live checks.

    Shipped

    16

    Live, with where to find it.

    1. Multi-day planning

      A week view of open orders by delivery day, with orders dragged between days before each day is built.

      Where it lives

    2. Driver breaks and second delivery windows

      A break window per driver the optimizer places where it costs least, and a second time window on an order.

      Where it lives

    3. Package scanning

      Package codes on an order, scanned in drive mode to confirm what was loaded and what was handed over.

      Where it lives

    4. Spanish drive mode

      A language per driver for the drive screen — English or Spanish — with the office side staying in English.

      Where it lives

    5. Shopify write-back

      Each delivery's outcome written back to the Shopify order, not only sent as a webhook.

      Where it lives

    6. Zapier

      A Zapier app so orders can arrive from, and outcomes flow to, tools that have no API of their own.

      Where it lives

    7. Optimization-only API and route endpoints

      Send stops and vehicles, get routes back — without storing orders — plus API routes for building, listing and dispatching routes.

      Where it lives

    8. Reverse, copy, draw and lasso

      Reverse a route, copy one to another day, and draw or lasso stops on the map to assign them.

      Where it lives

    9. Staff alerts

      The office alerted by email or text when a stop runs late, fails, or a driver's GPS goes quiet.

      Where it lives

    10. Status page, changelog and roadmap

      Live checks for the app, database, geocoder, map tiles and the jobs tick; a dated changelog; this page.

      Where it lives

    11. Named depots

      Vehicles start and end at any named depot, not only the business depot.

      Where it lives

    12. Starter plan and text packs

      A $39 plan for a few delivery days a month, and a published price for texts past any plan's allowance.

      Where it lives

    13. Google and Apple sign-in

      Continue with Google or Apple on sign-in and sign-up, once the owner switches the providers on.

      Where it lives

    14. Address finder and place picker

      Addresses found as people write them, backed by the US Census Geocoder; one picker to search, tap, drag or use your location.

      Where it lives

    15. Recurring deliveries

      Standing weekly or biweekly deliveries that generate their own orders.

      Where it lives

    16. Two-way texting with STOP and HELP

      Customer replies in an inbox, STOP and HELP handled, every message logged.
