Great software, easy to use

Reviewed on 2020/12/01

Very good. Few issues.

Very good. Few issues.

Pros

Circuits is quick and easy to use for admins, dispatchers and drivers. Route creation and optimisation is easy both in-browser and on the app.

Cons

Occasionally (only a handful of times) a similar, incorrect address has been ripped from circuits to Google maps and sent drivers to the wrong place

It would be good if it could sync with shopify so that orders could be marked delivered/attempted and notes could be entered on customer orders without leaving the circuits app.

Response from Circuit

Hi Mark, thanks for the review.

Overall we really enjoy the product and think it offers great value for money. Even for a small business like ours.

Pros

We like the route management so we don't need to manually sort a drop list for our drivers. Circuit automatically gives our drives the most efficient drop list and route.

Cons

Real time adjustments to the delivery locations and order would be great.

Circuit functionality greatly enriches our business process and we have had wonderful experience with their customer support! In addition, they are very strong in communicating new functionality when it becomes available, which we appreciate.

Pros

Given the ease of import data, we are able to manage our weekly delivery route with accuracy and appropriate automated communication with our customers!

Cons

The most useful feature missing for our use would be the ability to change the order of stops manually. The "make first" and "make last" functionality is useful but needs further development in allowing to select the order of the stops and opting out of the optimization of route option!

over all the program is great, but customer service is something I try to avoid.

Pros

that it is easy to prepare routes and add in new calls after you created the routes

Cons

dealing with customer service, I have not been impressed with them any time I discover an issue, as an example, addresses we have used many times, all of sudden is putting it on the map miles away on a street that doesn't even with the same letter. but the next time same address can be where it belongs. When I called in it, it was they never heard of it and it was something i was doing wrong. Then months later I see a post that this problem has been solved, (so others had the same issue) when this was posted that it was fixed, it wasn't , but this past two weeks it seems it has been finally repaired.

Organizing the Chaos of Route Planning

Circuit's customer service is unmatched. Both [sensitive content hidden] in Customer Success and [sensitive content hidden] Thurgood in Sales resolved an issue I experienced with ending my free trial. Despite being a cross-departmental situation, both leaders showed why they are at the head of their groups. The urgency and professionalism in their communication earned my trust and consideration for any future business I decide to do with them.

Pros

Circuit made a usually tedious process of planning my routes for philanthropy and charity a breeze. To be able to plug in multiple different addresses across the county and have their algorithm standardize it in one simple route is what is making me consider subscribing to this service in the future. No other service does route planning better.

Cons

I personally did not find the other services Circuit offered to be useful to me - but that is more so to do with my goals than theirs. While they offer Route Planner and Teams to differentiate different accommodations and goals, they might need to further this visually (e.g. different color schemes or branding). They already attempt to do this, but Circuit is what people will remember - so maybe consider combining them into one application with one brand and making sure the difference is clear for both users of Route Planner and Teams.

Circuit is improving all the time. It is a great product for the price, and the team seems to actively be working to upgrade it. Their customer service is accessible and they listen and work to fix any issues that arise. Including modifying the functions when necessary. While there are issues that have arisen with load time and how many things you have to click through in order to finalize a route, the positives far outweigh the negatives. I would recommend.

Pros

Circuit is improving all the time. It is a great product for the price, and the team seems to actively be working to upgrade it. Their customer service is accessible and they listen and work to fix any issues that arise. Including modifying the functions when necessary.

Cons

Too many finalization buttons to optimize a route. It seems like you have to click through so much after inputting the route information before the route is actually saved. Many times our team has input a route and not finalized it because you have to walk through 3 additional steps to complete it. That takes time when working with a customer.

The most cost effective

Reviewed on 2023/10/10

Pros

If you are running a small fleet of delivery vehicles, then the circuit is a must have. It is a cost effective solution with loads of great features. The one feature we love is how the customer can track their delivery to their business.

Cons

None thing really. The only feature that would be fantastic to have would be to upload a week's worth of deliveries and for circuit to optimise the run for the week. At the moment you only do it for the day. Which means sometimes we go to the same area in the week.

I like it, used it for over a year and will continue to use it. Super helpful as I grow!

Pros

I love the sad of use and uploading a spreadsheet into the website.

Cons

Clients not being able to message the driver specifically, not sure if I’m missing anything but usually when clients message the message doesn’t get to the driver. Also sometimes doing the route and redoing them when a driver changes can mess up the whole route, wish that was a little easier. Sometimes I have 5 drivers and add in another driver but when you optimize the route then only 4 or 5 drivers get a route which doesn’t make sense, it should split them into the active driver. So then it’s a manual process for me which does take some time. But in general, hasn’t been bad.

Overall it has been very good. It is a great program.

Pros

We tested several other programs (some cheaper and some more expensive) but Circuit had the best value. It was very fast to implement and learn how to use the software. I really like the monthly updates and features they push to us.

Cons

Overall the multiple clicks to get add a stop, make changes to a route is a bit cumbersome. It would be nice to streamline that process.

Amazing product!

Reviewed on 2023/10/04

Pros

Since we implemented Circuit, our customers are more happy with the estimated delivery times received on their phone every day and it made my life, as an office manager, much easier to set up the routes.

Cons

The only con about the app is the consistency with setting up the routes as sometimes they could be better, but the app is constantly updated and the routes are getting better and better and the features added to the system are amazing.

Circuit has made our organization be able to be more efficient as well as help ensure that we are able to give our clients their food on a weekly basis due to the simplicity that our routes are easy to create, maintain and function with.

Pros

Circuit has allowed our organization to be able to serve more individuals in need that qualify for our services due to the dramatic amount of time we were using to hand-type and navigate ourselves for our deliveries. Now, with Circuit, we can base our route off the week before that was saved within our team and add and take off deliveries instead of having to manually do it by hand.

Cons

The mobile app can be more of the way to go in terms of routes but sometimes we do have to use the webpage. I have seen it be significantly slower on that aspect.

It has been an awesome experience managing routes with circuit! as an admin, I keep a spreadsheet for each route, make changes to it as schedules shift for each salesman. When it comes time for a salesman to run a route, I just import their updated spreadsheet and it always calculates the best route to take. Helps for those times when customers get added and removed quite frequently!

Pros

-This product has an excellent User Interface that is both friendly and intuitive-I enjoy the frequent software updates

Cons

I wish there was a way to track the time at each stop. There is a spot to import an estimated time at each stop, although it is difficult to collect that data aside in the field. If there was a way to find the difference from the arrival time to the time the user clicks "Navigate" to the next stop, that would be an excellent way to get an idea of how long a driver is at a particular stop.
