What was the problem that led you to the Upper Route Planner?

Well, we have a contract in Pensacola, Florida, where the customer was really hoping that we could provide proof of delivery. And so, I wasn’t providing that service at the time. And so when we went to Belarus and Louisiana, we were looking for proof of delivery options. Proof of whether the cart was out or delivered at that entrance. So that was the main reason that I started searching for software and ended up using the Upper Route Planner.

What was your delivery process before using Upper?

Yeah, all of our customers that we provide service for, send us Excel spreadsheets. So, it was important for me to find something that imports the data easily. I was using a different software that didn’t provide any proof, and it was fairly usable for us. I think it was very basic. As we work with these larger corporations, the ability to have the ePOD feature was a lot more important. Therefore, it was proof that it mainly worked out for us.

What is something you like the most on Upper?

It will definitely be the import process. The ease of being able to import any data to be routed is important. It wasn’t important for me to reach out to the customers, but it was important for our data to be accurate for the cooperation that we work with. On Upper, it was very easy to practice the trial, to take the data that I had imported in and see how it was going to work.

And so, I just really appreciate that you don’t wanna get bored with the training portion there. I just feel like the software is very user-friendly and it’s just easy for me.

What will you miss the most if Upper disappears tomorrow?

If the Upper disappears, it will affect my delivery process. I think there are a lot more features that you have to show me that will make things even better but it’s just so easy to use. On Upper, addresses are imported easily and I just would really miss the functionality of Upper and ease of use if it would go away.
