“We run 15 delivery vans and plan routes by hand. What software should we use?”

ChatGPT answered 3× this snapshot

…a clear way to think about it: If you want something simple and quick to adopt: Routific — very easy to use, great for small–mid fleets, strong route optimization + driver app. Good balance of power and simplicity. Circuit for Teams — also very intuitive, nice mobile experience, good if your team isn’t very technical. If you need more control and scalability: OptimoRoute — probably the sweet spot for 15 vans.…

Verbatim excerpt from one collected ChatGPT answer; formatting flattened, words untouched.

Routific and OptimoRoute sweep all 9 answers, but Routific wins the opening slot 3 times versus zero for OptimoRoute, giving it a measurable first-mover edge with buyers who stop reading early. Google Maps and Waze hold top-10 category ranks yet go unmentioned, meaning AI models are steering small-fleet buyers toward purpose-built tools over familiar consumer apps.
