Delivery route planning software built for water cooler rounds
Stop building rounds in spreadsheets. ProWat plans and re-optimises delivery and service routes around your vehicles, your load, your customers' hours and the roads as they actually are today.
Manual route planning doesn't scale
Most water cooler distributors still plan rounds by hand — in spreadsheets, on whiteboards, or from memory. It works, until it doesn't.
Spreadsheets can't see the whole picture
A spreadsheet can list stops, but it can't check vehicle weight limits, remaining capacity, or whether two drops on the same street should really be on different days.
Abortive visits eat your margin
A driver arriving outside a customer's delivery window, or when the site is closed, is a wasted trip that still costs fuel, time and driver hours.
Overweight vans and legal risk
As bottles go out and empties come back, gross vehicle weight changes throughout the round. Plan on a fixed assumption and you risk running overweight — or under-using capacity you actually had.
Roadworks make yesterday's plan wrong today
A route that worked last week can be slower today because of roadworks, a diversion or an accident. Static routes repeated week after week quietly get worse.
What ProWat does
ProWat builds and rebuilds delivery and service routes automatically, using the constraints that actually matter to a water cooler operation.
Optimises around vehicle dimensions and gross weight
Set the real capacity, dimensions and weight limits of each vehicle, and ProWat only assigns stops that fit — so you're never planning a route your van can't legally or physically complete.
Tracks load weight as it changes through the round
As bottles are delivered and empties or old equipment are collected, ProWat keeps the running load in view, so a route that's legal at the depot stays legal all day.
Respects customer opening hours and service windows
Every customer's delivery window, access rules and out-of-hours policy are held against the site record, and the optimiser treats them as hard constraints — not suggestions.
Re-optimises daily for roadworks and diversions
Routes are rebuilt automatically as conditions change, so drivers aren't following a plan that ignores today's roadworks, closures or diversions.
Driver app with proof of delivery
Drivers follow their route, capture signatures, photos and notes at each stop, and report exceptions in real time — no more paperwork at the end of the day.
Planned vs actual analysis
Compare planned stop times against what actually happened, so you can see where routes are slipping and feed real durations back into the next plan.
The outcome
Fewer miles
Tighter, geographically sensible routes cut unnecessary driving.
Fewer abortive visits
Routes built around real customer windows mean fewer wasted trips.
Safer, compliant loads
Weight-aware planning keeps vehicles within legal limits all round.
Faster response to disruption
Daily re-optimisation absorbs roadworks and diversions without a manual replan.
Frequently asked questions
Does ProWat plan around our actual vehicle fleet?
Yes. You record each vehicle's dimensions, payload and any access restrictions, and ProWat only builds routes that fit those constraints.
How does ProWat handle changing load weight during a round?
ProWat models deliveries and collections together, so the running load — including returned empties and equipment — is accounted for throughout the route, not just at the start.
How often are routes re-optimised?
Routes are re-optimised daily as standard, and can be rebuilt intra-day when conditions such as roadworks or new jobs change significantly.
Does the driver need a separate app?
No. ProWat includes a driver app for turn-by-turn routes, proof of delivery capture and exception reporting, all connected back to the same system.
Can I see planned versus actual performance?
Yes. ProWat compares planned stop times and durations against what actually happened, so you can spot where a route consistently overruns and adjust future plans.
