What Is Zoho RouteIQ and How It Optimizes Sales Routes

If you’re still manually planning routes with paper maps, sticky notes, and highlighters, you’re spending way too much time on logistics and not enough on sales. For field teams and sales reps, every extra minute spent in traffic is a minute not spent with customers.

That’s where Zoho RouteIQ comes in.

What Is Zoho RouteIQ?

Zoho RouteIQ is a route optimization tool that creates the most efficient paths for your sales or service teams. It’s designed to help your team make more stops in less time by reducing drive time and eliminating backtracking.

The best part? It integrates directly with Zoho CRM, so your routes update automatically based on your client data.

How It Works

Zoho RouteIQ calculates and displays optimized routes for each team member. You can:
  • Add multiple stops for the day
  • Automatically generate the fastest route
  • Update routes on the fly with drag-and-drop adjustments
  • Sync routes directly to your CRM records

This means fewer missed appointments, reduced fuel costs, and more productive days for your team.

Let’s say you have 10 sales reps, each with 5 client meetings across multiple cities. With Zoho RouteIQ:
  • You assign each rep their client list
  • RouteIQ optimizes the path for each person
  • Any last-minute changes are instantly updated in the system
  • Your reps spend less time driving and more time closing deals

Why Businesses Love It

  • Time Savings: Less manual planning and faster decision-making
  • Cost Efficiency: Lower fuel and travel costs
  • Better Productivity: More customer visits in a single day
  • CRM Integration: Automatically uses your Zoho CRM data for route creation

The Bottom Line
