Maxmove brings dispatch, driver app, digital proof, fleet, customers and billing together in one modern product flow. PTV Route Optimiser mainly fits when its specific specialisation is decisive.
Transport operators that want to expand customer booking, orders, dispatch, mobile execution, digital delivery notes, fleet and billing in one system.
Fleets that want to attach a specialised optimisation tool to an existing TMS.
Deliberately written from Maxmove’s perspective; competitor facts remain verifiable through primary sources.
Maxmove is the better choice when route planning must be part of a complete transport operation with orders, dispatch, a driver app, live tracking and proof. PTV Route Optimiser is the more specialised choice for highly complex route optimisation with many hard constraints.
Maxmove connects planning with the rest of the order lifecycle. PTV concentrates its publicly visible strength on deep optimisation, constraints, ETAs and CO₂ tracking.
The table shows where Maxmove connects daily transport operations more completely and which specialisation can still make PTV Route Optimiser relevant.
| Criterion | Maxmove TMS | PTV Route Optimiser |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | Modular cloud TMS: Fleet Control Centre, AI dispatch, route planning, driver app, live tracking, digital delivery notes and billing. | Specialised route optimisation that distributes orders across the fleet automatically – with strict constraint handling, ETAs, and CO₂ tracking. |
| Audience | Courier companies, forwarders and fleets from 2 to 500+ vehicles; from a fast start to a multi-location enterprise rollout. | Planning-intensive mid-size to large operations; per the vendor, complexity matters more than truck count. |
| Service model | Modular cloud platform with web dashboard, driver app, customer portal, roles, API and guided enterprise rollout. | Specialised tool rather than a full TMS: API-connected to TMS/ERP, SaaS or on-premise. |
| Coverage | Software and apps work across locations from anywhere; the additional order platform has a regional market focus. | Route optimisation with time windows, vehicle specifics, ETA calculation and CO₂ tracking. |
| Pricing logic | Free entry; current paid plans and included capabilities are listed on the pricing page. | Pricing not public; demo requests via sales. |
| Best suited for | Transport operators that want to expand customer booking, orders, dispatch, mobile execution, digital delivery notes, fleet and billing in one system. | Fleets that want to attach a specialised optimisation tool to an existing TMS. |
