Drivin

Drivin is a cloud-based transportation management system with a web application and mobile client for logistics operations. Its route optimization considers traffic, delivery time windows and geocoding. Fleet, driver and carrier tools cover vehicle availability and load restrictions, while the driver app supports proof of delivery, cash collection, chat and real-time tracking of returnable assets. A control tower follows vehicles and order statuses and can capture delivery evidence as photos, video, digital signatures or downloadable PDF proof. Customers can receive configurable updates with ETA details, and businesses can add a tracking widget to their websites. Reporting includes performance indicators, trip and cost settlements, dashboards and service surveys. Drivin connects with ERP, WMS, e-commerce and proprietary systems through API and webhook connections; its API documentation describes RESTful services for managing information. The maker names e-commerce and retail, pharmaceuticals, foodservice, industrial operations and logistics operators among its target industries. The web application is available worldwide. Pricing is set in each client's commercial proposal, with no general amount published. The maker says the platform has no user or vehicle limits.

Drivin brings route planning, fleet operations and customer delivery visibility into one logistics platform. Buyers should request a commercial proposal to learn the applicable price and support terms.

Drivin is aimed at logistics operations that need route planning, fleet and driver coordination, delivery visibility or customer updates. The maker names several sectors, including retail, pharmaceuticals, foodservice and industrial operations.

Drivin is a cloud transportation-management platform for organizations running road deliveries, fleets, drivers, and carriers. It suits logistics teams that need planning, live execution, delivery evidence, and customer communication tied together. The uncapped user and vehicle model is attractive for growing operations, while custom pricing makes a sales proposal central to the buying decision.

Overview

Drivin combines a web application with a mobile client in a modular TMS. Its control tower follows vehicles and order status in real time, and reporting adds performance indicators, trip and cost settlements, dashboards, and service surveys. Drivin says it serves more than 600 companies worldwide and has joined Descartes Systems Group.

That breadth is useful when dispatch, driver workflows, customer updates, and operational reporting currently sit in separate systems. It is a less natural fit for a small operation wanting a tightly focused tool with a price that can be purchased without a commercial process.

Key features

Routing and resource management

AI-powered route optimization considers traffic, delivery time windows, and geocoding. Fleet, driver, and carrier management also records vehicle availability and load restrictions, so planners can account for physical and scheduling constraints rather than optimizing distance alone. The FAQ states there is no limit on vehicles to optimize and no limit on platform users, a meaningful advantage for large or seasonal fleets.

Driver execution and fleet visibility

The driver app handles proof of delivery, cash collection, chat, and real-time tracking of returnable assets. The control tower combines vehicle and order tracking with delivery evidence that can include photos, video, digital signatures, and downloadable PDF proof of delivery. Vehicle locations can come from a mobile device's GPS or an integrated GPS service, giving operators options when dedicated telematics are not the only source of position data.

Customer communication

Businesses can send configurable delivery-progress notifications with ETA information and place a tracking widget on their own website. This gives recipients a self-service view without requiring a separate customer portal, while operations retain the same status record used for dispatch and proof of delivery.

Integrations, API, and security

Drivin says it connects with ERP, WMS, e-commerce, and proprietary systems through API and webhook connections. Its documented REST API supports creating, querying, modifying, and deleting information, which is appropriate for organizations that need to synchronize orders and operational events with existing software. The company states that it holds ISO 27001 and SOC 1 certifications. Technical support is provided through the in-app helpdesk or email, with service levels agreed for each client.

Pricing

The Drivin plan uses a monthly rental charged according to the number of vehicles. No published amount is provided, but the plan has no user limit and no vehicle limit. That structure can work well for a fleet whose size changes or a multi-team deployment that would be penalized by per-seat fees; it also means buyers cannot calculate a subscription from a public rate card. The commercial proposal defines the applicable price and terms, so procurement should compare the vehicle-based charge with expected fleet scale and support requirements.

Drivin is a paid service with no free plan or trial terms stated. It is therefore aimed at organizations prepared to evaluate a business deployment rather than teams wanting to validate a workflow at no cost.

Platforms

Drivin provides Android and iOS mobile access, a web application, and an API. The maker says the web application can be used worldwide. Road is the supported freight mode, and API access is available for system integration.

Who it's for

The modular design is directed at logistics operations in e-commerce and retail, pharmaceuticals, foodservice, industrial businesses, and logistics operators. It is especially relevant to teams coordinating carriers and drivers while needing live vehicle status, delivery evidence, customer ETAs, and connections to ERP, WMS, or commerce systems. A very small fleet with simple dispatch needs may find the commercial engagement and broad feature set more than it requires.

Pros and cons

Pros

• No user or vehicle caps: the stated limits support broad access and fleet growth without adding seats or restricting optimization scope.
• End-to-end delivery record: routing, GPS visibility, cash collection, customer chat, and photo, video, signature, or PDF evidence connect planning with execution.
• Flexible integration: REST API, webhooks, and connections to ERP, WMS, e-commerce, and proprietary systems suit established technology stacks.
• Customer-facing visibility: configurable ETA notifications and a website tracking widget reduce the need to build these delivery updates separately.

Cons

• Custom pricing: the monthly vehicle-based amount is not public, making early cost comparisons difficult.
• No free evaluation terms stated: organizations cannot rely on a published free plan or trial when screening the product.
• Road-only freight mode: operations requiring other freight modes should look beyond Drivin's stated scope.

Alternatives

Transportation Management Software is the broader category to review when you want to compare Drivin with other logistics platforms.

Convoy Platform is a better starting point for carriers wanting a free carrier app with no sign-up or monthly fees, provided they can supply the required carrier account and DOT information.

DriverNest suits operators seeking a free setup with unlimited vehicles and drivers who pay only when they earn, rather than a monthly vehicle-based rental.

Bluerock TMS is another tailored, sales-led TMS for buyers who prefer an expert-priced solution.

Shipwell TMS offers a customized quote for organizations evaluating another enterprise TMS through sales.

AscendTMS is worth considering when a published per-user starting price, free plan, or free trial matters more than Drivin's uncapped vehicle-based structure.

Magaya Supply Chain provides subscription pricing tailored to the required solutions and number of users.

McLeod Software Transportation Management offers a family of TMS solutions including LoadMaster, PowerBroker, LoadMaster LTL, and DocumentPower.

Pando TMS is an enterprise TMS with a 30-minute product demo offered.

Verdict

Choose Drivin if you need one modular system for route planning, fleet and carrier coordination, driver execution, live tracking, delivery proof, and customer ETAs, especially when user and vehicle counts may grow. Its main reason to look elsewhere is commercial uncertainty: without a published price or free evaluation terms, buyers must commit to a proposal-led assessment before they can establish whether the vehicle-based cost fits their operation.
