MaxOptra vs Onfleet

MaxOptra is cloud-based route optimisation and delivery management software for fleet operators, positioned for mid-market distribution, service, and delivery operations. Its route sequences account for time windows, vehicle types, and load capacity. Teams can build multi-drop plans automatically or manually, as well as fixed routes. Customer communication includes email and SMS ETA notifications and automated progress updates. The Driver App for iOS and Android provides job notifications, tracking, live reporting, and proof of delivery. Electronic proof of delivery stores signatures, confirmations, photos, and comments. An open API and CSV uploads support links to telematics, ePOD, SOP, ERP, WMS, and CRM systems; named integrations include TomTom, Geotab, Quartix, Microsoft Dynamics, SuperOffice, and Geopal. The service is available through web browsers worldwide and is offered by subscription. MaxOptra says it conforms with UK DPA 2018 (GDPR) and hosts infrastructure within the EEA. Customers receive a dedicated Implementation Manager, UK-routed support, and online support documentation. The package listed for fleets of fewer than five vehicles costs £200 a month on a 12-month contract. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
