What's shipped
Real dates, real changes, in plain language. This is not every commit, and it does not include internal tooling that doesn't affect your account, just what changed in the product itself.
Faster pages, and a real look at how RouteReady works
Public pages load faster (image and animation fixes on the homepage in particular), and the How It Works page now shows an example of the actual screen for each step instead of describing it in text alone. Added a Contact page and a form to suggest a procurement source we're not covering yet.
Book a live walkthrough instead of guessing what to try first
Replaced the self-serve-only trial start with an option to book a scheduled live demo. If you'd rather see RouteReady walked through for your specific operation before creating an account, you can now pick a time directly.
Try RouteReady without creating an account
Added a live, read-only demo account with real (sample) bids, contract intelligence, and a full dashboard, so you can look around before signing up.
No card required for the 14-day Pro trial, plus a time-value calculator
Starting a Pro trial no longer asks for payment details up front. Also added a calculator on the homepage and a more detailed savings comparison page: enter your own numbers for hours spent searching and reviewing bids, and see the difference next to RouteReady.
Welcome Packet after setup
After onboarding, you now get a Welcome Packet summarizing what you told RouteReady about your operation and what to check first.
Contract Intelligence: award history, incumbents, and rebid predictions
Added historical contract award data for Massachusetts school transportation: who held a contract before, what public records say about the last award, and an estimated window for when a contract is likely to come back up for bid, each labeled with a confidence level and evidence source.
Added BidNet Direct as a second monitored source
RouteReady now checks BidNet Direct's Massachusetts listings daily alongside COMMBUYS, plus an expanding list of individual town and school district procurement pages.
Contact CRM, contract tracking, fleet records, and a renewal calendar
Added per-district contact tracking, a place to record submitted/won/lost bid outcomes and contract values, a fleet and driver database, and a renewal calendar that pulls from your documents and contracts to flag what's coming up.
Company Profile and Document Vault
Added a Company Profile (fleet details, service area, certifications) that RouteReady uses to personalize outreach drafts, and a Document Vault for insurance certificates, W-9s, and licenses with expiration tracking.
Fit Score and Ask RouteReady
Each bid now gets a Fit Score based on your vehicle types, service area, and fleet capacity, plus AI classification to separate real transportation work from unrelated municipal bids. Added Ask RouteReady, a Q&A tool that answers questions using your own bids, contacts, contracts, and documents.
Pricing Intelligence
Added a way to see and contribute rate data for comparable contracts, to help benchmark pricing before you submit a bid.
Outreach toolkit
Added AI-drafted cold outreach emails to a district's transportation contact, personalized from your company profile. You review, edit, and send from your own email client.
IFB Parser
Upload an IFB PDF and get a structured checklist of insurance minimums, vehicle age limits, equipment specs, and submission deadlines, instead of reading the document line by line.
RouteReady launches
Daily monitoring of COMMBUYS for Massachusetts school transportation bids, email alerts when a matching opportunity posts, and a dashboard with School Bus and 7D Van feed tabs.
