eLogii vs Maxoptra: Key Differences Explained

Which platform was built for which problem

Feature-by-feature

Maxoptra is a packaged mid-market routing and delivery product, now part of The Access Group’s supply chain and logistics ERP portfolio. eLogii goes deep on enterprise field service and distribution, built as the advanced optimization layer that slots into whichever FSM, ERP and telematics you already run. The table below shows where each product is the depth leader. They do not target the same operations.

Route optimization and scheduling

Both products optimize routes. The differences are in optimization depth, what shape the routing workload takes, and how much of the planning problem the operator can see and steer directly.

Maxoptra’s routing

Maxoptra Route Optimization is built for mid-market daily route planning: take today’s orders, generate efficient routes, push to the driver app, expose tracking and ePOD on the back end. For a mid-market fleet operator running 10 to 200+ vehicles with telematics already in place (TomTom, Geotab or Quartix), this is the right shape and is well-executed. Where Maxoptra does not lead is multi-day routing, long-haul planning, recurring template-driven cadences, and an operator-visible rule-set surface for re-optimization.

eLogii’s routing

eLogii’s optimizer is exposed across five distinct modes: a single data set, one or more specific dates, existing routes (re-optimization), a date range, and recurring patterns with varying intervals. Skills, capabilities, vehicle capacity, SLA windows, business rules and time constraints are all considered together, with configurable objectives the planner can see and adjust.

For field service and distribution, eLogii models recurring cadences natively via routes, task template groups and route template groups. Quarterly residential treatments, monthly commercial accounts, weekly compliance visits, daily distribution drops, multi-day long-haul routes and reactive callouts can all sit in the same plan. This is the engine J-Club (9,000+ stores) and Vergo (400 technicians) run their operations on.

Dynamic re-optimization

Both products re-plan within their planning scope. eLogii exposes rule-based re-optimization to operators directly. For example, reroute a no-access visit to the nearest technician with the right pest license, but don’t move any quarterly accounts with a customer-confirmed window in the next 90 minutes. At enterprise scale, rule-based re-optimization is how planners stop chasing exceptions one at a time.

Packaged mid-market product vs advanced optimization layer for enterprise

The choice usually turns on operation shape, scale and stack strategy.

Maxoptra is a packaged mid-market product: route optimization, ePOD, driver app, vehicle checks, customer comms and reporting in a single SaaS, with published telematics integrations to TomTom, Geotab and Quartix. Following the January 2026 Access Group acquisition, Maxoptra is positioned as part of Access’s supply chain and logistics ERP portfolio. For a mid-market fleet operator (10 to 200+ vehicles) who wants an all-in-one routing-plus-ePOD product, with the option of buying into a wider Access ERP roadmap over time, that’s the right shape.

eLogii is the advanced optimization layer for enterprise field service and distribution, and its entire roadmap goes into optimization depth, dispatcher tooling and the integration surface: five distinct optimization modes, recurring template-driven cadences, multi-day and long-haul, multi-depot, rule-based re-optimization, the driver app, the analytics surface. Pricing starts at $3,000 per month and is banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and the modules required.

eLogii is FSM and ERP independent and built to slot into a wider existing stack: it integrates with FieldRoutes, Simpro, Samsara, and ServiceTitan, Salesforce Field Service, ServiceMax, ServiceNow, MS Dynamics 365 Field Service, Joblogic, Jobber and Housecall Pro via the REST API. It also integrates with SAP, Oracle NetSuite, MS Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage, Acumatica, IFS and Infor via the REST API. The common pattern is: customers keep the FSM they already run for field execution and paperwork, and use eLogii for advanced optimization on top of it.

Brymec evaluated 15 logistics platforms before picking eLogii, with Transport Manager Tom Maddison calling it the clear winner after narrowing to three. Heatleys (~200 deliveries per day, MRO and safety distribution) evaluated 20+ options and trialed five before choosing eLogii, citing flexibility and how quickly drivers could be onboarded. Crocus, a leading gardening services provider, runs deliveries on eLogii. These are exactly the evaluations where the buyer’s problem is advanced optimization depth at enterprise scale rather than an all-in-one mid-market routing product.

Dispatcher tooling depth

Maxoptra ships a clean mid-market dispatcher interface with route planning, ePOD, vehicle checks and customer comms in one product. eLogii ships a deeper dispatch-desk surface for enterprise operations at scale, plus a deeper customer experience surface, because at enterprise scale the dispatcher tooling is itself the product.

• Slot booking co-pilot. Customers only see slots that fit current routes. Cuts failed visits 35%.
• Customer-driven rescheduling. Around 70% of reschedule requests handled without coordinator involvement. The customer picks a slot that already fits the plan and the route re-optimizes.
• Embedded tracking content. Push NPS surveys, safety briefings, access codes or treatment instructions onto the tracking page itself.
• Multi-brand tracking. Run three brands from one dispatch desk, each with its own logo, colors and layout.
• Map-native dispatch ops. Drag-and-drop reassignment with auto ETA recalc on both routes; polygon, freehand and rectangle map selection; bulk actions on hundreds of stops; Gantt-style route timeline alongside the map; 13 historical segments refreshed overnight.
• Workflow analytics. Average time per step, skip rates, error patterns, completion data. Tells you where the technician hours actually landed, not just where the routes went.

Porcelanosa runs eLogii with 95%+ ETA accuracy on their daily routes. ATS Building Products and Brymec run distribution on eLogii. For mid-market fleets Maxoptra’s packaged surface is the right tool. For enterprise operations at scale whose bottleneck is dispatcher tooling depth day to day, eLogii is the bigger lever.

Running eLogii alongside your FSM, ERP and telematics

Enterprise operations at scale rarely run on a single packaged product. The common shape is a stack: an FSM for field execution and paperwork (ServiceTitan, FieldRoutes, Simpro, Joblogic, Salesforce FS, MS D365 FS), an ERP for finance, inventory and customer master data (SAP, NetSuite, MS Dynamics 365 BC, Sage, Acumatica), telematics for the vehicles (Samsara, Geotab, TomTom), and a routing layer on top.

eLogii is built for that shape. It plugs into your existing FSM and ERP as the advanced optimization layer, leaving field execution and paperwork in the FSM where your drivers and technicians already work day to day. The technician opens the FSM’s field app on site; eLogii plans the route they take to get there, surfaces the live ETAs, picks up GPS, and pushes completion back into the FSM.

• 50+ REST endpoints across Tasks, Routes, Drivers, Vehicles, Depots, Zones, Schedules and Optimization, designed for clean integration into a wider stack.
• Full-parity sandbox at api-sandbox.elogii.com so integration work can run in parallel with the existing FSM/ERP rollout.
• Webhooks with live driver GPS and ETA stream push real-time state back to your FSM, dispatcher view or customer-facing app.
• Bulk operations. POST /tasks/createOrUpdateMany handles hundreds of tasks per call, built for high-volume ingest from any FSM or ERP.
• FSM and ERP independent. Customers running FieldRoutes, Simpro, Salesforce FS or MS D365 FS use eLogii for advanced optimization alongside the FSM they already chose.

Maxoptra is sold as an all-in-one mid-market routing product, with published telematics partners (TomTom, Geotab, Quartix) and ERP / CRM partners (Microsoft Dynamics, SuperOffice). Following the January 2026 Access acquisition, Maxoptra is positioned within Access’s wider supply chain and logistics ERP suite. For operations whose stack strategy is to keep their existing FSM and ERP and add a focused advanced optimization layer on top, that’s a different shape from where Maxoptra leads.

API, integrations and developer experience

Maxoptra ships a Public API for orders, routes and tracking, with published telematics partners (TomTom, Geotab, Quartix) and a Microsoft Dynamics ERP integration. eLogii’s API is a deeper surface designed for FSM, ERP and telematics independent integration into advanced routing at enterprise scale.

Where eLogii’s API differentiates

• 50+ REST endpoints across Tasks, Routes, Drivers, Vehicles, Depots, Customers, Zones, Forms, Schedules and Optimization. Full reference.
• Bulk operations. Endpoints like POST /tasks/createOrUpdateMany handle hundreds of tasks per call, built for high-volume ingest from any FSM or ERP.
• Optimization callable via the API, across 5 distinct modes, with planner controls: lock specific routes, manually reorder stops.

Pricing and time to live

Maxoptra publishes pricing from £200 per month for fleets under five vehicles, on a 12-month contract. Larger fleets and additional modules are quoted on request. For mid-market fleet operators in the shape Maxoptra is built for, this is good pricing on a packaged routing + ePOD product.

eLogii pricing starts from $3,000/month and is a platform fee, operationally banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and the modules required. Each band includes a quota; cost steps up when the operation crosses a band, not when you add an individual seat. Customers typically report 3 to 4× return on investment within 6 months, and rollouts complete in 3 to 5 weeks including integrations.

What this means at your scale

• For mid-market fleets of 10 to 200+ vehicles running daily route optimization with telematics already in place, Maxoptra is purpose-built and well-priced. eLogii is not priced for that operation.
• For enterprise field service and distribution operations whose problem is advanced optimization depth and integrating that depth into a wider FSM/ERP/telematics stack, eLogii is the focused alternative.
• The decision is a question of operation shape and stack strategy, not which product is “better”.

When to pick each platform

Switching from Maxoptra to eLogii

Unimasters runs eLogii across a multi-country operation and achieved 50% less planning time and 49% fewer service calls. Multi-country rollouts deploy in weeks, not quarters.

Frequently asked questions

Is eLogii an alternative to Maxoptra?

Yes, for enterprise field service and distribution. Maxoptra is a route optimization and delivery management platform acquired by The Access Group in January 2026 as part of Access’s supply chain and logistics ERP portfolio. Maxoptra self-positions for mid-size fleet operators, sized for mid-size fleet operators. eLogii is purpose-built for enterprise field service and distribution: five distinct optimization modes, multi-day and long-haul routing, recurring routes, multi-depot planning, rule-based re-optimization, a 50+-endpoint REST API and full-parity sandbox that slots into your existing FSM, ERP and telematics.

What’s the main difference between eLogii and Maxoptra?

Maxoptra is a packaged mid-market routing and delivery product covering Route Planning, ePOD, Driver App, Vehicle Checks, Customer Communication and Reporting, now part of The Access Group’s supply chain and logistics ERP portfolio. eLogii goes deep on enterprise field service and distribution: five distinct optimization modes, multi-day and long-haul routing, recurring routes, multi-depot planning, rule-based re-optimization, multi-brand tracking and a 50+-endpoint REST API with full-parity sandbox that slots into whichever FSM, ERP and telematics you already run. Maxoptra fits a fleet of 10 to 200+ vehicles. eLogii fits enterprise operations at scale whose problem is advanced optimization depth and integrating that depth into a wider, existing stack.

How does pricing compare?

Maxoptra publishes pricing from £200 per month for fleets under 5 vehicles, on a 12-month contract. eLogii is a platform fee, operationally banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and modules, starting from $3,000 per month. The two products are not priced for the same operations. Maxoptra fits mid-market fleet operators; eLogii fits enterprise field service and distribution where stop volume, fleet size and integration depth all step up together. Customers typically report 3 to 4× return on investment within 6 months.

Can eLogii replace Maxoptra for advanced routing?

Yes, for enterprise operations at scale. eLogii covers route optimization across five modes, driver app, real-time tracking, configurable POD, branded and multi-brand tracking pages, customer notifications, self-service rescheduling, REST API, webhooks with live GPS stream. Where eLogii goes deeper than Maxoptra is in advanced optimization (5 modes, multi-day and long-haul, multi-depot, rule-based re-optimization), the modern REST API and full-parity sandbox, and the integration paths into FSM, ERP and telematics platforms many enterprise customers already run. For mid-market fleets of 10 to 200+ vehicles running daily route optimization with telematics already in place, Maxoptra is purpose-built and the right shape. For enterprise field service and distribution above that, eLogii is the right shape.

Is Maxoptra part of The Access Group?

Yes. The Access Group acquired Maxoptra in January 2026 and positioned it as part of its supply chain and logistics ERP portfolio. The product still runs under the Maxoptra name and at maxoptra.com; the strategic direction is now part of Access’s wider supply chain and logistics suite. For buyers comparing options, the relevant question is whether your stack strategy is to keep your existing FSM/ERP and add an independent advanced optimization layer (eLogii), or to consolidate routing into Access’s ERP suite (Maxoptra).

How long does an eLogii implementation take?

eLogii implementations typically complete in 3 to 5 weeks for field service and distribution operations, including integration to your existing FSM, ERP, CRM and telematics. Heatleys (~200 deliveries per day, evaluated 20+ options) went live with eLogii after a fast implementation, citing how quickly drivers could be onboarded. For operations that need to be live in weeks rather than quarters, eLogii is structured around fast time-to-value.

Is eLogii enterprise-grade?

Yes. eLogii runs operations at enterprise scale: J-Club (9,000+ stores), NHS, Belfast City Council, Vergo Pest Management (400 technicians, Tyro Group), Bristow & Sutor (200+ enforcement agents, 200,000+ case visits routed annually), Porcelanosa, Caldic and Berkmann Wine Cellars. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified.
