# Roadmap

Porch Route · https://porchroutes.com/roadmap · Last updated September 14, 2026

What is being built, what is planned and what shipped. In progress means code is being written now; planned means decided, not dated.

## In progress

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

## Planned

- **Native driver apps**: iOS and Android apps for drivers who want push notifications and a home-screen icon; the no-login link stays.
- **More languages**: Drive mode and customer notices in languages beyond English and Spanish.
- **QuickBooks**: Delivery fees and outcomes posted to QuickBooks, so the books match the routes.
- **Gift orders**: A recipient who isn't the buyer: notices to the right person, and a tracking page that says who sent it.
- **Status history**: The status page keeps a record of past incidents and uptime, not only the live checks.

## Shipped

- **Multi-day planning** (September 14, 2026): A week view of open orders by delivery day, with orders dragged between days before each day is built. — https://porchroutes.com/guides
- **Driver breaks and second delivery windows** (September 14, 2026): A break window per driver the optimizer places where it costs least, and a second time window on an order. — https://porchroutes.com/guides
- **Package scanning** (September 14, 2026): Package codes on an order, scanned in drive mode to confirm what was loaded and what was handed over. — https://porchroutes.com/guides
- **Spanish drive mode** (September 14, 2026): A language per driver for the drive screen — English or Spanish — with the office side staying in English. — https://porchroutes.com/guides
- **Shopify write-back** (September 14, 2026): Each delivery's outcome written back to the Shopify order, not only sent as a webhook. — https://porchroutes.com/docs/api
- **Zapier** (September 14, 2026): A Zapier app so orders can arrive from, and outcomes flow to, tools that have no API of their own. — https://porchroutes.com/docs/api
- **Optimization-only API and route endpoints** (September 14, 2026): Send stops and vehicles, get routes back — without storing orders — plus API routes for building, listing and dispatching routes. — https://porchroutes.com/docs/api
- **Reverse, copy, draw and lasso** (September 14, 2026): Reverse a route, copy one to another day, and draw or lasso stops on the map to assign them. — https://porchroutes.com/guides
- **Staff alerts** (September 14, 2026): The office alerted by email or text when a stop runs late, fails, or a driver's GPS goes quiet. — https://porchroutes.com/guides
- **Status page, changelog and roadmap** (September 14, 2026): Live checks for the app, database, geocoder, map tiles and the jobs tick; a dated changelog; this page. — https://porchroutes.com/status
- **Named depots** (September 14, 2026): Vehicles start and end at any named depot, not only the business depot. — https://porchroutes.com/guides
- **Starter plan and text packs** (September 14, 2026): A $39 plan for a few delivery days a month, and a published price for texts past any plan's allowance. — https://porchroutes.com/pricing
- **Google and Apple sign-in** (September 14, 2026): Continue with Google or Apple on sign-in and sign-up, once the owner switches the providers on. — https://porchroutes.com/login
- **Address finder and place picker** (September 14, 2026): Addresses found as people write them, backed by the US Census Geocoder; one picker to search, tap, drag or use your location. — https://porchroutes.com/guides
- **Recurring deliveries** (September 13, 2026): Standing weekly or biweekly deliveries that generate their own orders. — https://porchroutes.com/guides
- **Two-way texting with STOP and HELP** (September 13, 2026): Customer replies in an inbox, STOP and HELP handled, every message logged. — https://porchroutes.com/sms
