Plan smarter routes. Deliver more packages. Get home earlier. Upper is the route planning app built for delivery drivers, couriers, and field professionals who need to optimize multi-stop routes fast. Stop wasting time manually plotting addresses — let Upper's algorithm find your fastest path through 500+ stops in seconds. INTELLIGENT ROUTE OPTIMIZATION Our optimization engine analyzes every variable: distance between stops, real-time traffic, delivery time windows, priority packages, service time at each location, and your preferred highways. The result? Routes that actually work in the real world, not just on paper. - Optimize up to 500 stops per route - Factor in delivery windows and priority levels - Set service time per stop for accurate planning - Choose highway preferences and toll avoidance - Handle pickups and deliveries on the same route IMPORT STOPS YOUR WAY No more typing addresses one by one. Upper accepts stops however you get them: - Import from Excel, CSV, or any spreadsheet - Capture manifest photos — our OCR reads the addresses - Copy-paste address lists directly - Add stops manually when needed ADDRESS VALIDATION BUILT IN Bad addresses kill delivery efficiency. Upper validates every address before you drive, catching typos, wrong zip codes, duplicates, and formatting errors automatically. Know your route is solid before you leave. ACCURATE ETAs YOUR CUSTOMERS CAN TRUST Give customers reliable arrival windows. Upper calculates ETAs using actual driving speeds, service time at each stop, scheduled breaks, and real distances — not optimistic guesses. NAVIGATE WITH YOUR FAVORITE APP Launch directions in Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, or MapQuest. Use your phone or connect through Apple CarPlay. Upper hands off navigation seamlessly to whatever you prefer. PROOF OF DELIVERY & TRACKING Document every stop with photos, signatures, and notes. Track your progress through the route with real-time status updates. Export completed routes for client reporting or employer records. SEE YOUR ROUTES VISUALLY View all stops on an interactive map with color-coded pins. Distinguish deliveries from pickups, see your optimized sequence, and understand your route at a glance.
