Why Route Simplified Is the Best Software for Used Cooking Oil & Grease Trap Service Companies in 2025
If you collect used cooking oil (UCO) or service grease traps, you already know that managing routes, compliance data, and service schedules is no simple task.
Most routing platforms are built for generic delivery businesses—not for the unique challenges of oil recovery, tank monitoring, or regulatory traceability.
That’s why Reiter USA designed Route Simplified specifically for the UCO and grease service industry—and it shows in the data.
A feature comparison table created in October 2025 (below) highlights how Route Simplified outperforms competitors like Route4Me, Onfleet, OptimoRoute, SmartService, WasteOil.Network, and Google Maps across crucial capabilities.
What Makes Route Simplified Stand Out
1. Purpose-Built for the UCO & Grease Trap Industry
Generic route planners like Route4Me or OptimoRoute optimize for packages—not pickups.
Route Simplified understands your business:
- Service intervals for grease traps
- Tank fill-level predictions for used cooking oil
- Regulatory reporting for RINs, LCFS, and sustainability data
That’s why it’s the one of only two software programs in the list that checks every UCO-specific box, but Route Simplified goes further than the other option, with live routing, scalability, and richer data capture.
2. Real-Time Optimization That Reduces Costs
While Google Maps and most routing apps can rearrange stops, Route Simplified combines predictive fill-rate data with real-time updates.
This means:
- Trucks visit tanks only when full (saving miles & labor)
- Routes adapt instantly to new pickups or emergencies
- Dispatchers and drivers stay synced on the same map
The result: fewer wasted miles, faster response times, and better margins.
3. Built-In Compliance and Traceability
For any UCO collector or buyer who reports renewable fuel credits (RINs, LCFS), recordkeeping is everything.
Route Simplified automatically captures:
- Source and volume of each collection
- Timestamped pickup data
- Optional sample data for verification
This gives your operation a complete chain of custody without relying on spreadsheets or manual uploads—something no generic routing app provides.
4. Unified Platform for Oil & Grease
Many haulers manage two systems—one for UCO and one for grease traps.
Route Simplified brings both together, so your team can:
- Schedule grease trap cleanings by service interval
- Log used oil pickups in the same driver app
- Generate combined service reports for customers
This unification reduces errors, simplifies billing, and helps operators scale without software chaos.
5. Designed to Scale With Your Fleet
Competitors like SmartService or WasteOil.Network start to struggle as route volume increases.
Route Simplified is engineered for large fleet operations, handling hundreds of stops per route with ease.
Whether you have 2 trucks or 200, you’ll benefit from fast route generation, real-time monitoring, and performance analytics that grow with your business.
