When buyers inquire about last-mile delivery software, AI engines frequently highlight Onfleet as the standout leader. With a visibility percentage of 50.0%, Onfleet is most commonly mentioned, followed by Routific and Track-POD. Onfleet's prominence is clear in AI-generated responses and citations, making it a notable choice for businesses seeking reliable software solutions.
The rankings reflect the data sourced predominantly from sites such as onro.io and locus.sh, which frequently lead with feature comparisons and customer feedback. These sources, often aggregators or review-focused domains, play a key role in shaping perceptions by offering up-to-date evaluations and insights tailored to specific user needs.
For buyers, this means prioritizing solutions that not only rank well but also have current reviews and third-party endorsements. AI recognition places value on platforms with recent positive feedback and recognized authority, emphasizing the importance of third-party validation and domain expertise in the last-mile delivery software sector.
At a glance
What we observed in this category
Onfleet leads the last-mile delivery software category with a visibility score of 50.0%, more than 12 points ahead of second-placed Routific at 37.5%. The category average visibility sits at just 8.8%, meaning Onfleet's score is roughly 5.7 times the average. That gap is significant because most brands in the 20-brand field are effectively invisible in AI-generated responses, and the top two brands have pulled sharply away following recent visibility gains of 25.0 percentage points each.
Track-POD presents the clearest divergence between being named and being trusted as a source. It holds only 12.5% visibility yet carries a citation rate of 62.5%, the highest citation figure in the dataset. DispatchTrack shows the opposite pattern, with 0.0% visibility but a 37.5% citation rate. Locus, itself a top cited source listed in the audit, has a citation rate of 37.5% against visibility of just 12.5%. These gaps suggest AI responses reference these brands as sources without consistently featuring them as recommended solutions.
Every brand in the top 10 lists Google AI Mode as its top engine, and the top cited external sources include onro.io, upperinc.com, smartroutes.io, gartner.com, and track-pod.com alongside locus.sh and clickpost.ai. The presence of Gartner alongside niche comparison and review sites indicates Google AI Mode is drawing on analyst content and category-specific directories rather than vendor homepages alone. No brand outside Google AI Mode appears as a top engine for any measured brand in this audit period.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
