DeliveryLinx vs RutaLive

DeliveryLinx is a transportation management system for final-mile and freight contractors that subcontract routes. It parses stop or route files, maps ZIP codes to zones, applies customer and subcontractor rate cards, and produces invoices and vendor bills. An operations board tracks delivery and pickup completion, pending work, and exceptions across territories. Dispatchers can view drivers on a live map, see GPS trails, and spot route diversions. Drivers can capture GPS, photos, and signatures by phone, generating branded proof-of-delivery and pickup documents. A vendor portal tracks subcontractor documents and expiry dates, sends renewal reminders, and can hold payments if required paperwork lapses. Freight tools cover LTL, FTL, linehaul, and heavy-haul loads. The Scale plan includes NetSuite integration for invoice and bill push and AR/AP sync. Web, iOS, and Android platforms are listed, though native driver apps are in beta. Starter costs $269 a month billed annually ($3228/yr); Pro is $479 a month billed annually ($5748/yr); Scale is $779 a month billed annually ($9348/yr). A free trial is available, with no duration stated.
