Onfleet At A Glance
Product Overview
Onfleet is a route management and logistics software that empowers companies to provide top-notch last mile delivery service to their customers. Dispatchers can track routes via a map, make changes on the fly and chat with drivers. Drivers can use their mobile app to see updated customer and delivery information, capture proof of delivery and use navigation tools (e.g., Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps) to avoid traffic.
Onfleet characterizes pickup and delivery orders as tasks. Users can manually create tasks, import them via a CSV file or schedule an automatic task import.
There are numerous benefits of the software, such as:
- Unlimited drivers, dispatchers and teams
- Streamlined processes
- Improved customer service
- Integration with many third-party solutions
- Custom features for companies with unique requirements
Features
We’ve listed some of the key features of Onfleet below.
Routing and dispatching – Dispatchers can track the driver’s entire journey via the map, including a real-time status for each stop. The route optimization engine calculates the most efficient route based on time, location, traffic and other factors. Dispatchers can make changes to the route, such as adding or removing stops, and any changes are then communicated to the driver in real time. Onfleet uses machine learning to predict a route’s estimate time of arrival (ETA), and both dispatchers and customers can receive alerts in real time if the software detects a change in the ETA (e.g., late arrivals). Additional routing and dispatching features include filter by date, time or status, search and offline driver tracking.
Driver app – Drivers can download the Onfleet mobile app to their Android or iOS devices for real-time customer data and order details. They can also use the app to chat with dispatchers, provide proof of delivery (e.g., photo, barcodes, signatures or notes) and analyze their performance using detailed tasks history and metrics. The app also integrates with Google Maps, Waze and Apple Maps for navigation and directions.
Customer communication – Customers can access a dedicated portal to see live delivery tracking, call or send a message to their driver or dispatcher and provide feedback on their experience. They can also get real-time status updates via SMS.
Analytics – Users can analyze key metrics, such as success rates, on-time rates, feedback scores and distance traveled. The data can be grouped by team, driver, day, week or hour, and it can be exported into the CSV file or integrated business intelligence software for further analysis.

Shortcomings
Because Onfleet focuses mainly on delivery management and route optimization, it doesn’t have typical fleet management features like fuel management, driver behavior monitoring or vehicle maintenance. Companies that want those features can look into a fleet management software that can integrate with Onfleet.
Even though Onfleet has how-to guides and an intuitive interface, it can be a learning curve for some new users.
