The route optimisation solution that businesses trust

Access MaxOptra has been helping fleet operators plan and execute smarter routes, track deliveries in real time, and keep customers informed since 2012. The platform is trusted by over 450 businesses across 26 sectors, from food and beverage distribution to construction, logistics, and waste management.

In January 2026, Access MaxOptra joined The Access Group. It's still the same proven platform, now backed by greater investment in product development and the opportunity to connect with Access's broader supply chain ecosystem, including warehouse management and business intelligence tools.

Today, Access MaxOptra is the route optimisation platform behind some of the UK's most efficient delivery fleets, and the trusted solution businesses turn to when they want to transform their delivery operations.

Route Optimisation

Generate the most efficient multi-drop route sequences in seconds. Access MaxOptra's algorithms factor in time windows, vehicle capacities, traffic conditions, known roadworks and driver availability, automatically.

Real-Time Vehicle Tracking

Monitor the exact location and status of every vehicle as it moves through its route. Access MaxOptra integrates with your existing telematics, including TomTom, Geotab and Quartix, or use the Access MaxOptra Driver App for live tracking without additional hardware.

Driver App & Delivery Execution

Everything on the road runs through the Access MaxOptra Driver App: signatures and photos for proof of delivery, barcode scan on and off for item-level detail, and built-in vehicle checks before drivers leave the depot. Turn-by-turn navigation and electronic manifests keep drivers focused on the road, not paperwork.

Automated Customer Notifications

Keep customers informed with automated SMS and email ETA updates, before they need to call. The tracking widget shows exactly where the driver is in real time, cutting down on inbound queries.

ERP & System Integrations

Access MaxOptra connects to the systems you already use. With an open API and established integrations across CRM, ERP, WMS, SOP and telematics platforms, order data flows in and delivery data flows straight back out, without manual re-keyin

Analytics & Reporting

Review planned versus actual performance across mileage, driving time, stops per route, delivery cost per vehicle and working time utilisation. Spot inefficiencies and keep improving your fleet operation.

Trusted by fleet operators across the UK

MaxOptra has transformed the way we manage deliveries. What used to take us up to two hours a day now takes just 30 minutes, and we've been able to scale our operations nationally with ease. It's a game changer for RDO Kitchens and Appliances as we continue to grow.

Andy Playford - Head of Operations RDO Kitchens & Appliances

Customers love it. Before, we had to say 'let me call the driver'. Now, we can tell them exactly where their order is, when it'll arrive, and who signed for it, all in seconds. That's a huge USP.

Antifriction

MaxOptra has been a game-changer for us. The system's configurability, combined with excellent support from the MaxOptra team, has significantly improved our route planning and overall logistics efficiency. The cost savings and increased confidence in our operations are invaluable.

Joe Wall - Managing Director The Cress Company

MaxOptra has not only saved us time, it's given us the insight and tools to grow with confidence. The support and development team are brilliant; they listen and adapt to what we need.
