Open source routing engine. Predictable per-driver pricing.

Last-mile dispatch,
decoupled.

OwnRoute is an API for assigning deliveries to drivers, optimizing their routes, and tracking jobs to completion. Drop it into any vertical: cannabis, restaurants, florists, services, retail.

How it works

Three calls. Then drivers.

01 / Push

POST /v1/jobs

Send your unassigned deliveries: address, contact, time window, priority. Each comes back with a short ID and a job.created webhook fires.

02 / Optimize

POST /v1/optimize

Pass your job IDs and active driver IDs. VROOM solves the assignment, OSRM provides real road times, every job comes back with a driver, sequence, and ETA.

03 / Drive

Driver PWA

Drivers see their stops in order on their phone. One-tap navigation, mark in-transit, capture signature, mark complete. Webhooks fire to your system at every step.

API

Boring on purpose.

A REST API your engineers will be done with in an afternoon. JSON in, JSON out. Bearer token auth. Predictable status codes. Webhook signatures with HMAC-SHA256. No SDK lock-in, no proprietary protocols, no surprises.

FAQ

Common questions.

What's the routing engine?

VROOM (Vehicle Routing Open-source Optimization Machine) for assignment + sequencing, OSRM for road-network distances and turn-by-turn directions. Both are BSD-2 licensed open-source projects. Map data is OpenStreetMap (ODbL) with attribution.

Can I self-host?

Yes, on the Enterprise plan. We provide infrastructure-as-code templates for AWS / GCP / on-prem. The whole stack runs in Docker.

Which regions are covered?

California in beta. We add OSM extracts on request - whatever Geofabrik publishes (most US states, all of Europe, plus most countries) is one config flag away.

Do drivers need a native app?

No. The driver app is a PWA. They open a link, install to home screen, and it works offline with background GPS reporting.
