FAQ
Can I test Zoho RouteIQ free of charge?
You can try Zoho RouteIQ free for 15 days. During the trial period, you’ll have full access to all features, along with 1,000 data set credits per user per month for converting addresses into GPS coordinates. After the trial, you can choose between the Standard Package at €9 per user per month and the Professional Edition at €15 per user per month.
How quickly can Zoho RouteIQ be implemented?
The time required to implement Zoho RouteIQ depends on the complexity of your needs and setup. If you’re simply looking to explore the application and its features through the free trial, you can activate it within minutes and carry out your first route optimization right away.
If you opt for the Standard or Professional Package and configure your system, implementation can take several hours. This is due to the fine-tuning of area assignments, routing configurations and prioritization. You also need to plan for the import of address lists from CSV or Zoho CRM and the testing of optimized routes so that you can make optimum use of the tool.
For more complex setups—such as configuring automations and workflows, integrating with Zoho FSM or other field service tools, and connecting to Google Maps or third-party APIs—you should plan for several days to ensure everything is properly implemented.
However, with a bit of preparation, you can accelerate the implementation of Zoho RouteIQ. If you’re already using Zoho CRM, integration provides immediate access to customer data. You can also streamline setup by uploading CSV files with complete customer addresses in advance. Additionally, it’s a good idea to start by testing the tool with a small data set before importing larger volumes.
Is Zoho RouteIQ integrated with Zoho CRM?
Zoho RouteIQ isn’t directly built into Zoho CRM, but it can be quickly and easily installed and connected via the extension available in the Zoho CRM Marketplace. No external API configuration is required to integrate the two applications.
DATA ACCESS
Once the extension is installed, Zoho RouteIQ can automatically access data from Zoho CRM. Leads, contacts, accounts, and even custom modules can be retrieved—eliminating the need to manually enter addresses in Zoho RouteIQ.
ROUTE OPTIMIZATION
For route optimization, Zoho RouteIQ can be accessed directly from the Zoho CRM interface. Customer data can be filtered by region, postal code, and sales territory—automatically generating an optimized route based on your selected criteria.
LIVE MAP
Thanks to the integration of both applications, data from Zoho CRM is displayed on a live map in Zoho RouteIQ. This includes up-to-date daily appointments, and the most efficient route is automatically generated.
WORKFLOWS
Zoho CRM and Zoho RouteIQ streamline your workflow through cross-application automation. For example, when a new lead is added in Zoho CRM, you can automatically assign a route for the following day. You can also set routes to update automatically whenever a customer’s location changes.
Who can benefit from Zoho RouteIQ?
