The short answer
Updated
Lite Route Planner plans home delivery routes for independent pharmacies: import the day's deliveries from a spreadsheet, optimize the run from the pharmacy in one click, and send it to the driver's phone, where each stop is marked Visited or Attempted with a note. Every delivery stays in the address's history. Lite Route Planner makes no HIPAA or other compliance claims, so keep drug names and health details out of it.
A delivery list with only what the driver needs
Your pharmacy system holds the prescriptions. The route only needs to know where, how many bags, and anything about the door.
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | |
| 1 | Delivery # | Name | Address | City | Bags | Cold | Copay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | D-2231 | Alvarez, R. | 1422 Magnolia Ave | Lakeland, FL | 1 | N | $0.00 |
| 3 | D-2232 | Brooks, E. | 309 E Orange St | Lakeland, FL | 2 | Y | $4.75 |
| 4 | D-2233 | Nguyen, T. | 5110 S Florida Ave | Lakeland, FL | 1 | N | $12.00 |
| 5 | D-2236 | Patterson, J. | 2711 Lakeland Hills Blvd | Lakeland, FL | 3 | N | $0.00 |
| 6 | D-2238 | Hughes, M. | 870 W Pipkin Rd | Lakeland, FL | 1 | Y | $0.00 |
No drug names, no diagnoses. Cold comes in as a yes/no field, so you can see on the map where refrigerated bags are going. Copay is a number for your own reference; Lite doesn't take payments.
Keep the route to addresses and short notes
Lite is a route planner, not a pharmacy system, and it makes no HIPAA or other compliance claims. Decide with whoever handles compliance for your pharmacy what belongs in it. A cautious setup: an address, a delivery number or short name, how many bags, and a door note. Prescriptions, drug names and anything clinical stay in your pharmacy software.
Know what each person sees. Drivers see each stop's address and stop note in the driver app. A share link shows the same to anyone who has the link, with no sign-in, so for patient deliveries use driver accounts rather than share links, and turn off any link once the run is done.
Columns you import, like Bags or Cold, stay in the planner as custom fields for your team. They aren't shown in the driver app or on share links.
A twice-a-day delivery run
- 1
Import or paste the run
Export the morning's deliveries to a spreadsheet, or paste the addresses. Patients you've delivered to before are matched to their saved address, not added again.
- 2
Optimize from the pharmacy
Start from your pharmacy base and make it a round trip. One click puts the stops in the shortest order.
- 3
Check the day's total
Set a few minutes per stop. The total shows when the driver will be back for the afternoon run.
- 4
Assign the driver
On Business, the run appears in your driver's phone browser after they sign in with a code sent to their email.
- 5
Follow along
Each stop shows Visited or Attempted in the planner within seconds of the driver marking it.
The driver app
Your driver marks every bag delivered or attempted
The driver sees the run in order with the drive time to each stop, taps an address to open Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze, and marks it Visited, or Attempted with a note like "no answer, card left, retry at 3." Attempted stops are easy to find later: color the map by last outcome and lasso them into the afternoon run.
What it doesn't do for a pharmacy
Worth knowing before you switch from a paper log or a delivery service.
No signature capture
Drivers can't collect a signature or photo in the app. If you keep a signed delivery log, keep it on paper or in your pharmacy system.
No patient texts
Patients don't get an ETA text or a tracking link. Call ahead the way you do now.
No time windows
Delivery windows aren't scheduled for you. Drag time-sensitive stops into place after optimizing.
No pharmacy software connection
There's no integration or API. Deliveries come in by spreadsheet, paste or typing.
