If you're interested in integrating with Onfleet's API, or just want to play around, I wrote a pretty comprehensive wrapper (there are a few things missing, but it's already running in production code). Hope it's helpful! Contributions welcome. :) https://github.com/lionheart/python-onfleet

Thanks for the python wrapper Dan! That was passed around the office a couple weeks ago, we were all quite happy to see it.

Is your name a play off the slang term "On Fleek"?

More of a happy accident, I guess. I don't think we realized "on fleek" was a thing until long after we had the domain.

I sent a request for a demo. Company was listed as To Be Named. Would really like to check you guys out. You can possibly solve a big problem for us.

I used this product while it was called Trak. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to build a service with a delivery component. Their mobile apps work pretty well and drivers need little to no training to use them. The dashboard is very useful when you're at low volumes, and they have a nice API for automating things when the time comes. My only complaint is a driver cannot be "active" on more than one orde…

Hey, Ryan. Thanks for the kind words! David, here, CTO & Co-founder at Onfleet. We're quite busy on a number of improvements touching on some of your points. We released dynamic filtering based on delay time recently which is our first foray into exception-driven dispatching for large volume customers. There's a lot more to come here! While we think of tasks as the smallest atomic unit of work for a driver -- and so…

Hard to ascertain - does this service provide automated route recommendations? via some path finding optimization?

It will in a few weeks!

This is something we will eventually support, absolutely, but our first release won't include this as a configurable option. That being said, we plan on making travel restrictions a first-class setting soon after launch. Feel free to email me directly if you wanna chat some more :)
