Last-mile delivery & courier dispatch scheduling

A priority pharma run just landed on full routes.

Fourteen stops on the truck, a forty-minute dock delay behind you, and a same-day pharmacy order that has to ride cold. The route didn’t break because your dispatcher planned it badly — it broke because every stop is a web of dependencies: a receiver window, a reefer requirement, a depot pickup, a driver’s legal hours. When a day ignores that web, it lands on a person to untangle mid-route. Crisphive carries it so your people don’t have to.

Every field service day is a dependency graph. Most software pretends it isn't — and hands the graph to a dispatcher to solve in their head, under pressure, forty times a day. We think the schedule should carry that weight, not your people. That's the whole company.

— Why Crisphive exists

How it fits your day

When the day changes, the schedule keeps up.

Crisphive is the layer that carries your day’s dependencies — every stop, every promised window, every driver and vehicle constraint. So when something breaks, the plan repairs itself instead of landing on your dispatcher to untangle by hand.

The day changes

A dock delay, a breakdown, a no-show, a same-day pharma order. However it lands — a driver’s app, a phone call, a scan at the depot — the day just changed.

The schedule recomputes

The schedule re-plans every route around the hard rules — receiver windows, vehicle capabilities, depot pickups, driver hours — and hands back a new plan plus a backup in case the first window doesn’t stick.

Your team is notified

You confirm once. Your drivers are re-routed and your receivers are notified of the new time — nothing else to chase.

You never rebuild the day by hand. The schedule recomputes around the disruption, keeps every promise it can, and shows you exactly what moved before anything goes out. Confirming the new plan takes one click.

The rules of your day

Hard rules, not suggestions.

A schedule that ignores these rules isn't scheduling — it's guessing, and someone on a route pays for the guess. Every plan Crisphive hands you respects all of them. No exceptions, no "hope the driver makes it."

window

Receiver windows

A confirmed delivery window is a promise to the receiver, not a preference. Crisphive treats every window as a hard rule — a plan that would break one never reaches your dispatcher.

capability

Vehicle capability matching

Cold chain needs a reefer; the appliance drop needs a liftgate. The schedule only ever sends a stop to a vehicle that can actually carry it.

logistics

Depot pickup insertion

The pharma run starts at the depot, not mid-route. The schedule adds the depot pickup with real drive time built in, right there on the plan.

compliance

Driver hours & breaks

Hours-of-service limits and mandatory breaks are hard rules. Crisphive moves a stop before it ever moves a legal limit, so a bad day never turns into a violation.

sequence

Route-order dependencies

Pickup before dropoff, returns after deliveries, loaded in the order the driver needs to unload. The sequence is built into the plan, not left for the driver to remember.

priority

Priority-aware booking

An urgent same-day order jumps the queue, and before anything is confirmed you see exactly which stops move and who's affected. You approve the impact instead of discovering it on the road.

Getting started

Up and running in three steps.

1

Add your drivers and vehicles

Sign up and add your drivers and vans — their licenses, hours, and vehicle capabilities like reefer or liftgate. These are the rules every plan has to respect.

2

Bring in your jobs and customers

Bring in the week’s stops and receivers — by import or right alongside the tools you already use. Confirmed windows come with them.

3

Let the day run itself

From then on the schedule keeps itself. Emergencies slot in, affected jobs move, and your team and customers hear about it automatically — you just confirm.

⏱ Most teams are live within a week — no technical setup

Outcomes

What changes for you. What your customers feel.

You — running the business

Your best hours stop going to route triage.

  • Hours of route triage disappear. A forty-minute scramble to re-cut routes becomes one confirmation click.
  • Windows hold without a war room. Confirmed receiver windows survive the chaos because the plan protects them, not because someone got lucky.
  • More stops per driver, per day. Tighter routes and no idle waiting mean the truck is earning instead of sitting.
  • A straight answer when a receiver calls. You can say exactly why a window still holds — or why an order moved — without guessing.

Your receivers

The delivery shows up when it was promised.

  • The window they were promised is the window they get. The delivery lands when they planned their day around it.
  • Honest updates, not silence. When a route shifts, they hear the new time instead of wondering where the truck is.
  • Cold chain arrives cold. The pharma order rides in the right vehicle and lands on time.
  • An emergency doesn’t wreck their delivery. A priority run gets handled without their stop quietly slipping to tomorrow.

Running more than one branch?

Set the rules once. They hold across every crew and depot. The window, vehicle-capability, and driver-hours logic you set up for one branch carries to the next — so opening a second depot or doubling your fleet doesn't double your dispatcher chaos. Growth stops multiplying the number of people untangling a bad Tuesday by hand.

Why it holds up

Built for the days that go sideways.

Never billed

Re-planning is free

Re-planning is free and unlimited. Last-mile days are volatile by nature — re-plan on every dock delay, no-show, and same-day order without ever watching a bill.

Consistent

Dependable by design

Schedules come from a deterministic engine, not guesswork — the same situation always produces the same plan. AI helps explain the plan in plain language; it never decides who goes where.

Backup included

Always a plan B

Every urgent booking comes back with a recommended plan and a backup. If the customer declines the first window, the next-best option is already on the table.

What operators say

Fleets that stopped rebuilding routes by hand

32 drivers · 2 depots
When a priority run lands mid-morning, the routes rebuild themselves before my drivers finish their coffee. Missed delivery windows are down by a third since we switched.

Operations Manager · SwiftParcel Couriers

Pharmacy runs are unforgiving — the tote rides cold or it's a loss. Crisphive treats the reefer requirement like a law of physics, not a preference. We haven't had a single cold-chain exception since we moved over, even on days when half the board gets re-cut.

Tomasz Nowak

Dispatch Lead · MedRun Logistics

9 drivers · Same-day
A dock delay used to ripple through the whole afternoon, and I'd be on the phone apologizing by two. Now the routes rebuild around the delay before I've even heard about it. My drivers trust the manifest again — honestly, that's the biggest change.

FAQ

Questions from the field

How fast can full routes absorb a priority or same-day order?
The whole board re-plans in seconds. You get a recommended plan and a backup, so you already know your next move if the receiver turns down the first window.
Are receiver windows and driver hours hard rules?
Yes. Delivery windows, hours-of-service, and depot pickups are rules Crisphive cannot break — if a day can't hold them all, you're told up front instead of finding out on the road.
Can it handle cold chain and vehicle capabilities?
Yes. Reefer, liftgate, and other vehicle capabilities are matched to every load — a cold-chain run is only ever assigned to a vehicle that can actually carry it.
What does high-volume delivery scheduling cost?
You pay per job scheduled, and that's it. Re-planning, reschedules, and cascades are free, so a volatile day of constant re-routing never runs up the bill. Hard spend caps are on by default.
We run a courier fleet, not a dev team — is this still for us?
Absolutely. Ops managers run it day to day — routes rebuild themselves and dispatch just confirms. It runs alongside or inside the software you already use, with no engineers needed.
How long does it take to switch from our current routing tool?
Most fleets run their first live routes within a week. Load one real day of orders, compare the boards side by side, and go live when the new plan clearly wins — no big implementation project.

Your schedule should survive a bad morning.

Start free, load one real Tuesday of orders, and watch a delayed dock or a same-day pharma run re-plan itself before your dispatcher touches a thing.
