Built on a real route.
When you run the numbers at end of day and they don’t add up fast enough, that’s the moment we built Route Balance for.
Route Balance was built to solve a problem every independent tool-truck franchise operator knows: at the end of the day, the numbers don’t add up fast enough. We built a screen to fix that — to know what got collected, what’s still out, and which stop is aging toward a write-off.
That screen became Route Balance. Tested across hundreds of collection scenarios and refined through intensive operator feedback. The week board from the imported book, payment links, broken-promise alerts. All of it came from running an actual route and noticing what was missing.
What Route Balance is.
- —Four doors for the morning: Today, Prelist, Customers, Inventory — plus briefing and collections.
- —A week board from the imported book — past-due and broken promises.
- —Payment links for customers — turn a phone call into a $500 payment.
- —A data layer that imports your business system exports and preserves full provenance.
What Route Balance is not.
- —Not a franchisor product. Built for independent tool-truck franchise operators.
- —Not a replacement for your dealer business systems — it reads from them.
- —Not a payment processor — Stripe handles all funds.
- —Not venture-backed. No outside investors shaping the roadmap.
What’s next.
The roadmap is driven by what pilot operators actually run into. Next is more dealer-export formats — the same book, more of the PDFs you already run. We do not sell scores from other operators’ books, and we are not a route optimizer.
