About Route

Route is the only way for shoppers to view and track all their online orders, from anywhere, in one convenient app. Additionally, the company offers Route Plus which gives merchant partners the option for their customers to fully insure their packages for 1% of the cart value. Once the shopper adds Route Plus at checkout, it enables one-click refunds and reorders for any packages that are damaged, lost or stolen within the Route app. What started out as a simple solution to a major pain-point has quickly escalated into an expansive customer experience platform, with game changing solutions and features. Since Route’s January 2019 launch, the company has raised millions in VC funding, assembled a team that has built 5 billion dollar+ companies, and have quickly become one of the fastest growing startups. The Route HQ is located in Silicon Slopes, UT with an additional office in Santa Monica, California.
