What’s new in Spoke Dispatch
With Spoke Connect, couriers can invite their clients to upload, track, and manage their orders in real time. It provides a live delivery dashboard that connects couriers with their clients.
Previously, clients only had the option to upload orders manually or via a spreadsheet. Now, they can link their Shopify store with Connect to directly import orders that are ready for delivery.
It’s also possible to set permissions that enable the automatic updating of order status, and trigger customer notifications in Shopify, as deliveries are completed in Connect.
Spoke's in-app navigation is powered by Google Maps, which provides functionality such as live traffic disruption alerts, satellite map views, and turn-by-turn directions which all help drivers successfully handle the challenges they face on the road.
When driving conditions become difficult in the dark, drivers can now also benefit from automatic theme changing, which switches the theme of the driver app between light and dark depending on the time of day on their phone, making the map view more visible and reducing battery consumption.
Previously, drivers could scan the barcode on a package to add that stop to their route, and scan the barcode again at the recipient’s address to confirm delivery.
The latest update to barcode scanning also lets drivers scan the package barcode as they load their vehicle, to confirm they are loading the correct item.
This latest update also lays the foundations so that soon scanning a package’s barcode will be able to provide proof of custody details from the point that it is loaded onto a vehicle until it is delivered to the recipient.
Knowing how long it takes a driver to deliver an item at a stop helps couriers accurately manage operations and workforce performance.
Users on the Premium and Expert plans can now benefit from the latest ‘time at stop’ feature, which automatically records the time a driver arrives at and departs from a stop.
This feature is on by default for Premium and Expert plans and works when drivers use Spoke's internal navigation on their driver app. The actual time each driver spends at a stop is logged and displayed in the dispatcher dashboard.
We’re entering a new chapter, with a fresh new name.
Circuit is now > Spoke.com
It’s just a name change. Everything else you know and trust about us stays exactly the same: the same team, values, and dedication to creating first-class products for last mile delivery.
This rebrand reflects who we are today and where we’re headed, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next. Over the past year, our platform has powered more than 1 billion deliveries, our team has grown, and so has our ambition to 10x the number of deliveries we power in the years ahead.
In 2026, we’ll launch some exciting new products we’ve been working on, which will improve last mile delivery for retailers, drivers, couriers, and recipients.
The seasonal nature of last-mile delivery can make balancing cash flow difficult at times.
Now, Spoke Dispatch users can choose a custom billing date that suits their business's financial cadence and request a fourteen-day payment extension up to three times a year if they need a little extra time to help manage finances successfully.
Previously, clients might upload orders that were missing key information into Spoke Connect.
Without all the necessary details for a stop, couriers would need to contact the client to find out any missing information and update stops accordingly. This could increase the time and stress associated with managing client data.
Now, couriers can set required fields for any of their clients, and each client has to include those required fields for every stop they wish to import.
During the upload process, clients will be alerted if a required field is missing and given instructions on how to add it.
Couriers have complete control over which required fields each client should upload, eliminating the possibility of missing details and delayed delivery.
When importing stop data, Spoke allows Dispatchers to import all the essential stop details, such as the type of stop, time windows, and number of packages.
Now, users on the Standard and Pro plans can also import their own custom stop properties to add key information that’s useful for their business.
Once created and imported, custom properties are visible by default on stops displayed on the Dispatcher Dashboard, and they can be selectively hidden or made visible on the Driver app and Recipient tracking details.
Custom properties are set at the account level, making it easy to search and filter account activity by custom property. Once they have been defined in your account settings, they can be uploaded via spreadsheet or included in stop data imported using Spoke’s Public API.
Couriers can choose to invite clients to Spoke Connect, which provides a custom dashboard where each client can upload, manage, and track all their orders in real time.
Clients can now add multiple team members to Spoke Connect.
By doing so, more team members can import, track, and manage order issues directly, making shipment information easily accessible and spreading responsibility for delivery across relevant team members.
Previously, Spoke did not provide real-time alerts for things like speed cameras or roadworks in the driver app, which meant that drivers had to deal with unexpected traffic issues as they happened.
Now, drivers using internal navigation on the app automatically receive real-time traffic alerts on their route. Using live crowdsourced data from Spoke, Waze, and Google Maps, any problems that could impact a route are now highlighted on the driver app map view.
If drivers encounter a traffic issue that has yet to be reported, they can add information about the disruption directly from their app. This information will instantly become visible on the map, helping other drivers in the area avoid the same problem.
