Why RouteHero

Everything you need to run a route. Nothing you don't.

Built for crane game, bulk vending, and amusement operators. Not a re-skinned VMS. Not a generic field-service app.

Smart pick lists

RouteHero checks every machine's stock and tells you exactly which prizes to grab before you head out. Cuts trips back to base by 80%.

Priority-scored routes

Every stop gets a score from days-since-collection, expected cash, and stock status. Hit the urgent ones first.

Inventory everywhere

Track plush, capsules, prize boxes, and tokens. See what's at the warehouse, what's in each machine, and what's running critical.

Service tickets

Machine jammed? Open a ticket. Connect FixTheCall so location managers can call in problems and tickets appear automatically.

Team management

Add employees with roles. Technicians log collections, managers handle data, you see everything on the owner dashboard.

Commissions + 1099s

Set the rate per location once. RouteHero tracks every dollar. Export 1099 totals at year-end in one tap.

Integrations

Connects to the tools you already use.

Nayax

Sync cashless transactions from Nayax card readers directly into RouteHero. See card + cash revenue side by side.

Fleet plan

Amusement Connect

Pro + Fleet
How it works

Set up in 10 minutes. Run your route forever.

1

Add your locations + machines

Import from a spreadsheet or type them in. Set commission rates per location, override per machine.

2

Use it on your route

Log collections, restocks, and service issues with two taps each. Your crew can log too.

3

Get paid + pay locations

Track every dollar. Cut commission checks with one tap. Export 1099s at year-end.

Team

Your crew, your rules.

The boss signs up, invites employees by email, and controls what each role can see and do.

Owner

Full access. Billing, team management, integrations, activity feed. The whole operation.

Manager

Add locations and machines, edit data, invite technicians. Everything except billing.

Technician

Log collections, create service tickets, view the route. The boots on the ground.

Viewer

Read-only access to everything. Perfect for a business partner or accountant.

Built by an operator

I built this because I was tired of running my route on spreadsheets.

I've operated claw and bulk vending machines for years. I tried existing tools — they're either built for soda vending at enterprise scale, or they're spreadsheets with a paint job.

RouteHero is the app I wished existed: built for routes under 200 machines, priced for solo operators, and obsessed with the things that actually matter on collection day.

— Mitchell, founder

The operator's sidekick.

"I went from a paper notebook in my truck to running 30 machines from my phone. End-of-month is no longer a 4-hour spreadsheet session."
— Beta tester, 30 machines across 8 locations
