RoutenApps

RoutenApps is a software platform that provides routing, optimization, and mapping services intended for developers and businesses. The platform offers routing APIs, a web-based dashboard, and tools for integrating real-time traffic, multi-stop plans, and offline maps into applications and operations. It supports multi-criteria route optimization, vehicle and network constraints, time windows, and integration with external data sources such as map providers.

RoutenApps was founded in 2012 in Berlin by Lena Möller and Tomas Rivera as a start-up focused on multi-stop route optimization for delivery services. The company expanded its footprint to North America and Asia between 2015 and 2020, opening offices in San Francisco and Singapore and establishing partnerships with logistics operators and transit agencies.

The core offerings include the RoutenApps API, RoutePlanner, FleetOptimizer, and OfflineMaps. Key capabilities include real-time traffic-aware routing, batch routing for fleets, optimized stop sequences, constraint handling (vehicle type, capacity, time windows), route sharing, ETA updates, and analytics dashboards. The platform emphasizes data security, privacy compliance, and easy integration using REST and GraphQL endpoints, with SDKs for iOS, Android, and web.

Use cases span logistics and last-mile delivery, field service management, ride-hailing and shared mobility, and travel planning or tourism apps.

RoutenApps has been adopted by mid-sized logistics operators and regional transit agencies. It has received industry recognition for routing technology and continues to invest in data quality and supplier interoperability. Criticisms in some markets center on pricing structure and variable data latency in peak periods. Related topics include mapping software, route optimization, and logistics software.
