For most of us, the second we order a package, we’re waiting for the tracking email. We all love seeing our packages get delivered. This week’s startup Route is helping users track their packages easier than ever, and helping merchants increase post-purchase satisfaction.

⚾ The Elevator Pitch

When you need to track multiple packages from different vendors, it can be complicated finding the right tracking email for each package. And with package theft on the rise, we are all concerned about whether our packages have been delivered or not.

Route is changing all of that. Route is building the “Find My” for packages. It integrates directly into your email inbox, and lets you track all of your packages in one place. Additionally, they allow merchants to provide insurance leading to higher purchase intent and customer satisfaction.

📊 Why we like it

1. 📈 On the Path to SuccessWithin just a few years of starting, they have already found exceptional traction. They have already tracked over 175 million packages and partnered with over 11,000 brands. Additionally, they have raked in over $330 million in funding, as they reached unicorn valuation status at a $1.25 billion valuation in just four short years.

2. 🗣️ Solving a Real ProblemFounder Evan Walker has had eCommerce businesses since he was 14, and has started multiple companies since. He always noticed the many post-purchase issues in his businesses. The idea to start Route struck him when he bought an expensive product, and noticed how difficult and inconvenient shipping and tracking were. There’s been no looking back since, as users and merchants alike are eager to use the product.

3. 🏎️ No Stopping YetEven though they found a winning product in their all-in-one package tracking platform, they aren’t slowing down yet. They’re creating new features to keep their users engaged and help merchants. Their product now also has features like 1-click protect and Discover, which allow users to easily buy package protection or find their next great purchase.
