Routeware SmartCity
Austin, Texas, United States
What it is
Routeware SmartCity is a paid, cloud-based SaaS platform for city governments and heavy-duty fleet operations, including snow removal. Its snow tools bring winter road work, emergency management, and customer service into one system. Dispatch gives staff one view of plow locations and route status, linking in-cab applications with cloud software. In-cab apps, smart sensors, and AI-enabled cameras support communication with office teams, visual maps, route assistance, and emergency-service integrations. A digital CRM shows customer details and service history in one place. Routeware also provides route-optimization software and consultancy focused on snow-route safety and efficiency. The platform is hardware-light, offers an open API, and is described as deployable in under 90 days. Integrations listed include Esri, Geotab, and Samsara. It includes unlimited portal users, full-service support, route planning, service logs, invoicing and billing, and a client portal. Pricing is custom quoted by fleet size, services, and operational needs.
