The Next Generation of Route Optimisation is Coming

For over 25 years, Routeware has been the UK’s trusted partner for optimising waste and environmental services. With more than 200 councils and all the major private waste contractors having worked with us, and hundreds of waste and environment professionals using EasyRoute day in, day out, we’ve built something we’re genuinely proud of – software and consultancy services that make designing safer, more efficient and more reliable rounds feel straightforward.

But technology doesn’t stand still. And neither do we.

Our customers consistently tell us they love the ease of use and familiarity of EasyRoute. That feedback matters enormously to us. It’s also exactly why we’ve been investing significant effort into what comes next – a next-generation route optimisation platform that keeps everything you value while opening the door to a new era of capability.

Built for the Way Teams Work Today

The new EasyRoute will be a fully web-based SaaS platform, accessible from any modern browser – no installations, no manual updates, no version conflicts, no barriers. For planning teams who increasingly work across multiple sites or remotely, this shift to the cloud means seamless collaboration is simply built in.

We’ve also taken a fresh look at the user interface, with cleaner data visualisations that make complex information easier to interpret and act on. Under the hood, the platform leverages the latest cloud computing and server technology, enabling more complex routing and sequencing tasks to run faster – translating directly into more refined results and greater operational savings for your service.

AI-Powered Optimisation

It probably goes without saying that AI will be embedded throughout the new EasyRoute solution. From an AI assistant to enhance the user experience, to improving the optimisation process itself, artificial intelligence will be a core part of how the platform thinks and works alongside your team.

A More Connected Routeware Ecosystem

The next generation of EasyRoute isn’t just an upgrade in isolation. It’s part of a broader effort to unify the experience across Routeware’s full product suite – so that data and users flow seamlessly between planning and execution. For organisations using multiple Routeware solutions, this means a more cohesive, joined-up experience from end to end.

What’s Next

We’re not quite ready to share all the details just yet, but we’re getting close. We’ll be sharing more with customers soon, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been building.
