Route planning for distributors that deliver to stores
Jaro Route reads the day’s orders as they come, as spreadsheets, CSV or an export, and turns them into truck routes on real roads. Every load stays under legal weight. Stops are planned to their receiving hours, and any stop that can’t make them is flagged. Driver, pick and load sheets are ready to print.
The check is free. A short data agreement is signed before any file changes hands.
How it works
Bring the day’s orders
Upload them as they come: your reps’ spreadsheets, a CSV, or an export from your order system.
Plan the trucks
Jaro Route says how many trucks the day needs and builds each route on real roads, one plan per depot.
Print the sheets
Driver, pick and load sheets for the warehouse and the drivers, with the last stop loaded first.
Deliver and compare
Drivers follow the route in their phone’s browser. Each week you see what was planned next to what ran.
What you get
Routes
Truck routes on real roads, one plan per depot. Every load stays under legal weight, and each stop is planned to its receiving hours.
Trucks and stops
How many trucks the day’s orders need, and which stops won’t fit and why. Any stop that can’t make its receiving hours is flagged.
Driver, pick and load sheets
Ready to print. The load sheet lists the last stop first, so the first stop’s cases go on last, at the door.
Driver app
The route on the driver’s phone, in the browser, with nothing to install. Proof of delivery with a photo and a signature.
Planned versus actual
Every week, what was planned next to what ran, with cost per stop and per mile.
See it on sample data
Every screen on this page shows Larkmoor Provisions (sample), a made-up snack and bakery distributor with sample stores and orders. No real company’s data appears.

A free check on one past delivery day
Free
One past day: your routes and ours, side by side.
Send us one recent, normal delivery day: the orders, plus what your trucks actually ran. We plan the same day in Jaro Route and send back trucks, miles and driver hours for your routes and for ours, both estimated the same way (see how), side by side. Then we walk you through it in 15 minutes.
How it goes
- You email us. The button below starts the message.
- We send a short data agreement. Both sides sign it before any file changes hands.
- You send the day’s files, and we plan the same day in Jaro Route.
- You get trucks, miles and driver hours for both, estimated the same way, and a 15-minute walkthrough.
This opens your email app with a short message to hello@jarosystemsnc.com. Nothing is sent until you press send. Please don’t attach any files yet.
If no email app opens, write to hello@jarosystemsnc.com with your company name, how many trucks you run and how your orders come in.
Questions
What do you need from us for the check?
One recent, normal delivery day: the orders delivered, with the truck or route that carried each stop and the stop order; the store list with addresses, receiving hours and each store’s latitude and longitude (we don’t send your addresses to any lookup service unless you approve one in writing); your depot and the time trucks leave, and when they got back if you have it; and the trucks that ran, with their limits. Excel or CSV is fine. We ask for these files only after the data agreement is signed.
Please leave out driver and employee names (truck or route numbers are enough), personal phone numbers, what you charge or pay for goods, your margins, and GPS or telematics data. The stop order is enough.
Are the miles from our odometers?
No. For the check, both sides are measured the same way: straight-line distance between stops, scaled up for roads, at a set average speed, plus the same unload time at each stop. So the difference comes only from which truck carries each stop and in what order.
What happens to our files?
Nothing changes hands until we both sign a short data agreement. It says what your files are used for, who sees them and when they are deleted.
Does it work with our order files, or do we need an ERP?
It works from files: your reps’ spreadsheets, a CSV, or an export from your order or accounting system. You don’t need an ERP, and Jaro Route doesn’t connect straight to one; an export is enough.
Do drivers need a new phone or an app?
No. The driver app runs in the browser of the phone they already carry and records proof of delivery with a photo and a signature. The printed driver sheet is there too.
What does it plan around?
Each truck’s legal weight, each stop’s receiving hours and your depots, with one plan per depot. It says how many trucks the day needs, flags any stop that can’t make its hours, and lists any stop that won’t fit, with the reason.
How is Jaro Route priced?
Ask us at hello@jarosystemsnc.com and we’ll quote it for your fleet and depots. The check of one past day is free either way.
