Your team is driving more than it needs to
When jobs are handed out in the order they're booked, your workers end up crossing town all day. We build a simple system that groups jobs by area and plans the shortest route for each worker - so less of your day is spent in the van.
- Less driving
- Room for more jobs
- Built around your team
Why your team spends so much of the day on the road
Most mobile businesses book jobs as the phone rings. The first call is in Frankston, the next is in Craigieburn, and the one after that is back near Frankston. Each job goes to whoever's free, so by the end of the day your team has zig-zagged across the city.
Nobody planned it badly. There just isn't time every morning to work out the best order for every worker, every job and every customer's time window.
What it's quietly costing you
- !You pay wages for hours spent driving, not working
- !Fuel, tolls and wear on every vehicle
- !Fewer jobs fit into a day, so work gets pushed back
- !Customers wait around, then ring to ask where you are
- !Your team gets worn out by traffic, not by the work
Plan the day around the map, not the phone
We build a simple route planning system around the way your business already works - your areas, your team and your booking system.
- 1Group jobs by areaEach morning, the day's jobs are sorted into areas, so every worker gets a run of jobs that are close together.
- 2Put each run in the shortest orderJobs are ordered to keep driving to a minimum, while still fitting customer time windows, job lengths and who's qualified for what.
- 3Fit new jobs in smartlyWhen an urgent job comes in, it's suggested for the worker who's already nearby. You approve it with one tap.
- 4Keep everyone in the loopWorkers follow their run on the phone they already have, and customers get a text when you're on the way.
The result: less time in the van, room for more jobs in a day, and customers who know exactly when you'll arrive.
Made for Australian businesses that go to the customer
Route planning, answered
Do we have to change our booking system?
Not necessarily. We can often connect to the system you already use, or set up a simple one if you don't have one.
Is it worth it for a small team?
It makes the biggest difference once you have two or more people on the road, but it can also plan the order of a busy day for a sole trader.
Can it handle time windows and urgent jobs?
Yes. Customer time windows, job length, worker skills and urgent jobs are all built into how the day is planned.
Do our workers need new devices?
No. It works on the phones they already carry.
Can we still change the plan ourselves?
Always. The system suggests the best runs, and you can move jobs around before or during the day.
