What do you like best about Upper?

Upper allows us to import our Customers/Stops easily with from Excel and then utilize the software to efficiently route our drive. The software verifies the addresses for us. Also, their customer service is excellent and responsive. Our business is seasonal so we only use the app for those months and than cancel our subscription and renew the next year. This is our 3rd year using Upper and each year they have made improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upper?

Upper meets our needs. If they could offer pricing based on the size of our business (3 team members in our business), that would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upper solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can import our 1100 customers and sort by zip code so that we can dispatch and route efficiently, saving time and fuel! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Upper?

Upper has been a lifesaver for managing our daily routes. It’s super easy to adjust routes on the fly, which is crucial for us because our schedule changes all the time. The interface is intuitive, and even our less tech-savvy drivers picked it up quickly. Plus, the customer service is top-notch—they’ve been really responsive whenever we’ve had a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upper?

One thing that would be nice is if there was an automatic way to schedule an uninstallation 10 days after an installation, but I know that’s a pretty specific need for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Upper has really simplified our routing process. Before, we were juggling multiple tools just to keep track of our daily installs and removals. Now, everything’s in one place, and we can easily adjust routes as new jobs come in. It’s saved us so much time and reduced the stress of managing last-minute changes. Our drivers love how straightforward it is, and our clients appreciate the timely updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Upper?

We were using Routific software for planning and optimizing our deliveries, but the route quality was not impressive every time. So, we were looking for alternatives and found Upper. When tried, our entire team was amazed with route planning that saved us huge time. We used to spend almost 4 to 5 hrs of planning, but now, we hardly spend 45 mins. This way, we are also able to plan more deliveries. Thanks to Upper team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upper?

The only drawback is little pricey, but overall we are fine if we are getting so many features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upper solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping us plan deliveries for our delivery business. Earlier we were using Routific, but ended up using Upper for route quality, customer support, and number of features we get. We found it little pricey, but as said, it is worth paying because of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planning for longer routes has always been a hectic and challenging thing for us as it requires more meticulous planning for timely delivery and smoother experience to the end customer.

What do you like best about Upper?

What I love most about Upper Route Planner is its real-time tracking. It changed how we manage our deliveries, now we can see where our drivers are without buying any additional hardware.

Route planning was a nightmare for us, with lots of manual work on Google Maps. Now, with automatic route optimization, we save a lot of time and fuel.

What do you like best about Upper?

Upperinc offers highly accurate route planning and real-time tracking. The error rate is low, and the system is very user-friendly.

The only drawback is the limited customization options for reports. The current options are good, but more flexibility would be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
