ROCCO — AI Route Manager

Which of my routes are running over 8 hours?

⚙ Checking route times… 14 routes analyzed

Two of 'em: Tuesday-3 at 9h 10m and Friday-1 at 8h 40m. Both are carrying too much of the north side. Want me to rebalance those two and show you the before-and-after?

What "agentic UI" means

It's not a chatbot. It's a route manager who actually runs the software.

You say what you want. ROCCO does it. The maps and screens are still yours.

Most software makes you learn it: which menu, which screen, which button, in which order. ROCCO flips that. The whole platform — importing your data, balancing routes, sizing your fleet, running the reports — can be driven by asking for it, the way you'd ask a routing consultant sitting next to you. That's what "agentic UI" means: the AI isn't there to chat. It's an agent — it takes the action.

It's the same design behind Claude Code, the AI tool that's changed how professional software developers work: an assistant wired straight into the real controls, so saying it and doing it become the same thing. We built ROCCO on that pattern — for route managers instead of programmers.

Why it's a better experience

Old routing software vs. ROCCO

Every other routing tool

Days of training before anyone trusts themselves in it
Features buried four menus deep — most never get used
Want an answer? Build the query, export it, make the spreadsheet
One "power user" in the office; everyone else waits on them
When they leave, the knowledge leaves with them

ROCCO

Day one, anyone on your staff can ask for what they need
Every feature is one sentence away — nothing left buried
Ask the question, get the answer — with the work already done
Everybody's a power user, from the director to the new hire
The know-how lives in the software, not in one person's head

And you never give up the wheel. Everything ROCCO does, you can also do by hand — full maps, grids, and controls are always there. He's the fast way, not the only way. You see every change before it sticks.

What you can ask for

Talk-o to ROCCO.

A few of the jobs ROCCO handles on request:

Help me load our customer list.

ROCCO walks your file in with you — he reads the columns, asks about anything unclear, and you approve the match-up before anything is saved. No rigid templates.

Balance Monday's routes.

He evens out the workload across your trucks and shows you the routes on the map, with the hours and tonnage behind every one of them.

What if we ran this with one less truck?

Scenarios without risking your real routes. Try it, compare it side by side, keep it or toss it.

How do our routes stack up?

Key performance numbers — route hours, stops per hour, tons per route — measured the way waste professionals measure them.

Is there anything wrong with my data?

Dozens of automatic data health checks catch missing addresses, odd service times, and out-of-place stops before they cost you money on the street.

Explain what you just did.

ROCCO shows his work in plain English. Ask why, ask what changed, ask what he'd do differently — he answers like a consultant, because that's what he is.

Who's behind it

Built by routing consultants, not just programmers.

ROCCO comes from Route Optimization Consultants — people who have spent years riding routes, timing trucks, and rebuilding collection systems for municipalities. The old way, hiring that expertise costs tens of thousands of dollars per engagement, ends in a PDF, and goes stale in six months.

The consultant that never leaves

ROCCO is that consulting know-how built into software you keep — always current, always on, priced like software instead of an engagement.

Made for the people who run collection

Directors, supervisors, and route managers who came up on the trucks. If you can say what you want, you can run ROCCO. No computer science required.

Your data stays yours

Your project's data is walled off to your account, and ROCCO never changes your original uploaded records — corrections get proposed to you, never made behind your back.

Fair questions

Straight answers.

Do I have to be good with computers?

No. If you can text, you can use ROCCO. You type (or say) what you want in your own words. The screens and maps are there when you want to see or do things by hand — and they're built to be simple too.

Is the AI making changes without me?

No. ROCCO shows you what he found or built, and you decide what sticks. Imports need your approval on how columns match up. Route changes are visible on the map before you commit. You can always undo.

What if it gets something wrong?

Then you'll see it — every result comes with the numbers and the map behind it, not a "trust me." You stay the route manager. ROCCO's the staff.

Will it work with our data?

ROCCO's importer is built to adapt to your files instead of forcing a template — customer lists, route sheets, scale tickets. He reads what you have and asks about the rest.

What does it cost?

You can start with a free trial — no consulting contract, no commitment. After that, ROCCO is a monthly subscription that costs a fraction of a single consulting engagement. Sign up to see current plans, or contact us and we'll walk you through it.

See it yourself

Get your routes talking.

Sign up, load your data with ROCCO's help, and ask him the question you've been wanting answered about your routes. That first conversation is usually all it takes.
