Circuit for Teams is now Spoke Dispatch. Same trusted app, just a new name. Your company needs to have an account with Spoke Dispatch to use this app. Spoke Dispatch is a route planner which creates the quickest possible delivery routes, saving you more than 60 minutes per day and getting you home faster than relying on your favourite navigation app alone. Tell Spoke where and when to start your route, add the list of stops you need to make, and Spoke handles the rest. It’ll decide the order that avoids traffic, prevents backtracking and means you’ll finish your delivery route significantly earlier. Spoke Dispatch helps you complete your deliveries faster throughout the day. Once your route has been planned, easily access the address and extra information you need to quickly make the delivery, such as the gate code, special delivery instructions, or the recipient’s name. And, with a single tap, Spoke Dispatch works with your favourite navigation app. Spoke Dispatch delivery route planner provides estimated arrival times for multiple stops on your planned route, and these estimated arrival times are automatically updated as you make deliveries. Whether you're behind or ahead of schedule, the arrival times will always be up to date. If you’re behind schedule, re-optimize the remainder of your route to avoid traffic where possible and arrive on time and within the stop’s delivery time window. Users driving delivery routes save themselves multiple hours every day by optimising the order of their route’s stops with Spoke Dispatch.
