What RouteBud is
RouteBud combines a field sales CRM, multi-stop route planning, manager dashboards, and mobile apps for field representatives. Teams can add CRM locations, reorder stops, assign routes, and optimize driving order when optimization is enabled. Locations can be imported from CSV, discovered on a map, and merged when duplicates exist. Native iOS and Android apps let reps run assigned routes, check in, record outcomes, add photos and notes, and report why a visit cannot happen. A live dashboard shows route progress, stop states, check-in distance, photo counts, and map markers, refreshing about every 60 seconds. Managers can notify assigned reps in the app, with push notifications when installed. RouteBud targets distribution and B2B field teams, including small distribution and wholesale businesses. New accounts receive full access for a 14-day trial without a credit card.
