Building Materials Delivery Software.
Builders merchants, hardware distributors and plumbing merchants deliver heavy, bulky loads to construction sites, trade branches and customer's premises. Tarot Routing plans and optimises every run, matches the right vehicle to every job, and captures proof of delivery.
Plan and Optimise Every Run, From Branch to Site.
Tarot Routing optimises every run in minutes, accounting for load capacity, delivery time windows, driver shifts, and site or branch constraints.
When a last-minute order or site instruction comes in, add the stop and re-optimise without pulling a loaded truck off its route.
Match the Right Vehicle to Every Job.
Not every delivery can go on any truck. A pallet of plasterboard needs a tail-lift or Moffett to come off safely. Bagged aggregate might need a crane offload. A small trade order can go on a standard van.
Set vehicle-type requirements against each job, and Tarot Routing only assigns drivers and vehicles that can actually complete it, so a truck without the right kit doesn't turn up at a site that can't take the delivery.
Keep Sites Moving, Not Waiting.
A late or early delivery costs more than the driver's time. If the plasterboard hasn't arrived, plasterers turn up with nothing to do. If a site has no room to store a load, the driver waits. Tarot sends automated notifications at key milestones, Out for Delivery, You're Next, Delivery Complete, with a live tracking link and real-time ETA, so the site or branch has space and people ready before the truck arrives, not after.
Building Materials Delivery Software — Frequently Asked Questions.
What kind of building materials deliveries does Tarot Routing handle?
Tarot Routing is built for multi-stop delivery from a merchant branch or distribution site to construction sites, trade counters and customer premises: timber, bricks, plasterboard, aggregates, insulation, plumbing and hardware.
Can Tarot Routing assign the right vehicle type to each job automatically?
Yes. Set vehicle-type requirements, tail-lift, Moffett or crane offload, flatbed, or standard van, against each job, and Tarot only assigns drivers and vehicles that can complete it. This stops a truck without the right kit turning up at a site that can't take the delivery.
How does proof of delivery work when nobody's on site to sign?
Tarot's customisable Proof Reasons let you set different requirements by job type: photo proof of a load left on an unattended site, or signature and photo where a customer or branch receives it in person. Every record is timestamped, geotagged and stored against the job.
Can our customers or sites see when a delivery is arriving?
Yes. Tarot sends automated notifications at key milestones, Out for Delivery, You're Next, Delivery Complete, with a live tracking link and real-time ETA, so a site or branch can have space and labour ready before the truck arrives.
Can Tarot Routing manage deliveries across multiple branches or depots?
Yes. Each branch or depot operates as its own organisation in Tarot, with its own planning and driver management. A parent organisation gives regional or national teams visibility across every site without taking over day-to-day planning at each one.
How does Tarot Routing compare to Descartes or DispatchTrack for building materials delivery?
Descartes and DispatchTrack both offer dedicated building supplies delivery capability, but they're built for enterprise-scale fleets with long implementation timelines. Tarot gives merchants and distributors running 5 to 200 vehicles the same route optimisation, vehicle-matching and proof of delivery, live within 30 days, at a price built for that scale.
