What is DropPilot: Delivery Route App
DropPilot is a multi-stop delivery route planner that optimises your stops, tracks live traffic, and captures proof of delivery in one app. It's built for drivers, couriers, and field service teams who need to complete routes on time, every time.
How DropPilot works
When you import a list of delivery addresses into DropPilot, the app plans the most efficient route using nearest-neighbour and 2-opt optimisation algorithms. The route updates continuously as you drive, pulling real-time traffic data from Google Directions API so your ETAs stay accurate. If you deviate from the planned route, DropPilot detects the change and automatically reroutes you to the remaining stops. Dispatchers can bulk-import CSV files to manage entire teams at once, while drivers see their assigned stops in order and can mark each one complete with a signature, photo, or notes as proof of delivery.
Who DropPilot is for
DropPilot serves delivery drivers managing their own routes, courier services coordinating multiple drivers, last-mile logistics operators, field service technicians visiting customer sites, and food delivery drivers juggling numerous stops. Dispatchers managing small to large fleets use the team and enterprise features to assign routes, monitor progress, and access delivery analytics. The app works whether you're a solo operator running 5 stops a day or a logistics company deploying 50 drivers across a region. DropPilot is not a delivery marketplace like Uber Eats or Deliveroo; you bring your own jobs and own the customer relationships.
Route optimisation and live traffic
DropPilot saves time by computing the shortest, most efficient route through all your stops before you leave. Once you're driving, the app pulls live traffic conditions from Google Directions and recalculates your ETA for each remaining stop continuously. If congestion appears ahead or you need to skip a stop, DropPilot reroutes you automatically so you finish on time. The nearest-neighbour plus 2-opt routing logic minimises backtracking and unnecessary miles, which cuts fuel costs and improves reliability for customers waiting at home.
Proof of delivery and fleet management
At each stop, capture proof of delivery by collecting a digital signature, photograph, or handwritten note. This record is stored in the app and can be accessed later for disputes or customer confirmation. Dispatchers using the Team tier can assign batches of stops to drivers via CSV upload, monitor where each driver is in real time, and pull analytics on delivery completion rates, time on route, and stop duration. Enterprise accounts offer custom workflows and integration options for larger logistics operations.
Pricing and free tier
DropPilot offers a permanent free plan with 5 rounds per month and up to 5 stops per round, perfect for testing the app or occasional use. The Plus tier costs £4.99 per month and unlocks 30 rounds per month with 50 stops per round. Pro is £12.99 per month for unlimited rounds and stops. Team pricing starts at £49 per month and includes unlimited stops plus team dispatch and fleet analytics. Enterprise customers can contact MRVL for custom pricing and integration. All paid tiers include live traffic routing, proof of delivery, and continuous ETA refresh.
DropPilot vs manual planning
Planning routes by hand wastes time and often wastes miles by visiting stops out of order. DropPilot automatically solves that problem, reducing time on the road and fuel consumption. Unlike generic mapping tools, DropPilot is built specifically for multi-stop delivery: it remembers your stops, detects when you've completed each one, reroutes when traffic changes, and lets you record proof at every delivery. Dispatchers gain visibility into their entire fleet without spreadsheets or phone calls.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be part of a delivery company to use DropPilot?
No. DropPilot works for solo drivers, small courier teams, and large fleet operations. You bring your own addresses and customers; the app simply plans and tracks your route.
Can I use DropPilot if I'm a driver for Deliveroo, Uber Eats, or similar?
DropPilot is separate from those platforms. It's designed for drivers who manage their own jobs or work for a company with its own customer base. If your platform app already assigns stops, DropPilot may not add value; it's best for independent operators or traditional logistics firms.
How accurate are the ETAs?
DropPilot pulls live traffic data from Google Directions API and refreshes your ETA continuously as you drive and as traffic conditions change. Accuracy depends on Google's data in your region, which is typically very reliable in the UK and most urban areas.
Can multiple drivers share one DropPilot account?
Yes. The Team tier (£49/month) allows dispatchers to assign routes to multiple drivers, monitor progress in real time, and access fleet analytics. CSV bulk import makes assigning 50 stops across 5 drivers quick and simple.
What happens if I go off route?
DropPilot detects when you deviate from the planned route and automatically recalculates to get you to your remaining stops as efficiently as possible. No manual rerouting needed.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. DropPilot's free plan includes 5 rounds per month with up to 5 stops per round, with full access to route optimisation and live traffic. Paid tiers unlock higher limits and team features.
