Let the system plan the day — so you can spend time with customers.
Route planning calculates the shortest, most realistic route for each crew member based on addresses, skills, and opening hours. When something changes, the route adapts automatically.
What's inside Route planning
Automatic optimization
Calculates the optimal task order — saving kilometers, fuel, and time.
Skill-aware assignment
Tasks are only assigned to crew who can do them — e.g. work at height or special equipment.
Handles changes
Cancellation or urgent job? The system replans without you having to touch anything.
Drag-and-drop tweaks
Want to move a visit yourself? Drag it on the map — the system handles the rest.
How field service teams use route optimization
Window cleaners
80 recurring subscription customers on fixed intervals → the system builds the day's optimal route → 30% less driving and 1-2 extra customers per day.

Recurring cleaning contracts across the city → optimization respects opening hours (schools, offices) and crew skills.

Service visits mixed with urgent calls → AI replans the day in real time and gives customers precise ETAs.

Seasonal jobs with trailers and equipment → routes built around material pickups and waste sorting, so vehicles don't return home multiple times per day.
