eLogii vs Urbantz: Key Differences Explained

Which platform was built for which problem

Feature-by-feature

Urbantz is a last-mile delivery management platform whose signature modules are Multi-Carrier Management, Carrier Network Builder, Real-time Delivery Slots at checkout and Returns. eLogii goes deep on field service and distribution. On the advanced routing surface where they overlap, the differences are in optimization depth, recurring routes, and the depth of the dispatcher tooling. On multi-carrier orchestration and e-commerce checkout integration, Urbantz is the deeper product; eLogii does not compete there.

Route optimization and scheduling

Both products plan routes at enterprise scale. The differences are in how the optimization surface is exposed to operators, and what shape the routing workload takes day to day.

Urbantz’s routing

Urbantz’s Dynamic Route Planning is built for last-mile-day-of dispatch: take the day’s orders from a retailer’s OMS or e-commerce platform, optimize the routes, push to drivers, expose live tracking back to the customer. Where Urbantz adds depth is upstream and downstream of that: real-time delivery slots integrated into checkout (which constrains the planning problem to slot-feasible orders), and Multi-Carrier Management that lets the same plan reach across own fleet and 80+ integrated 3PLs. For retailers whose problem is last-mile dispatch with multi-carrier allocation, that’s the right shape.

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 inside their dispatch 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.

Dispatcher tooling vs multi-carrier last-mile platform

Both are enterprise-credible. The choice usually turns on whether your problem is dispatching across a multi-carrier network, or running your own fleet on its own.

Urbantz is a last-mile delivery management platform. Its signature is the carrier network: Carrier Network Builder, Multi-Carrier Management and integrations with 80+ 3PLs let a retailer dispatch the same order pool across field drivers, contracted 3PLs and on-demand couriers, with delivery slots integrated into e-commerce checkout and a dedicated Returns module on the back end. For retailers, grocery and e-commerce operators whose problem is last-mile execution across a carrier mix, that’s the right shape.

eLogii puts its entire roadmap into dispatcher tooling: recurring routes, multi-depot planning, multi-day and long-haul routes, mid-execution re-optimization, the driver app, the analytics surface. The data model treats recurring template groups, configurable Forms, skills-based assignment and custom fields as dedicated API entities rather than configuration layered on top of a generic dispatch object.

Either product can be embedded in your wider stack:

• eLogii is FSM and ERP independent: 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.
• eLogii also integrates with SAP, Oracle NetSuite, MS Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage, Acumatica, IFS and Infor via the REST API.
• Urbantz integrates broadly across retail OMS, e-commerce checkout platforms, WMS and 80+ 3PL carrier APIs; specifics best confirmed directly per module.

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 a focused dispatcher product wins when the buyer’s problem is advanced routing and field execution rather than multi-carrier orchestration.

Dispatcher tooling depth

Urbantz ships strong customer-facing tracking and a deep multi-carrier dispatch layer. eLogii ships a deeper dispatch-desk surface for field operations, plus a deeper customer experience surface for field service flows, because both are the core product rather than modules sitting alongside multi-carrier orchestration.

• 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 field teams whose bottleneck is dispatcher tooling day to day, depth in this layer is the bigger lever than multi-carrier platform breadth.

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.
