Recurring service plans, due-for-service queues and routes
In Spanstead
Recurring work runs on service plans: each plan says what every round includes and when it comes due, and the rounds that are owed wait in one queue until they are routed. Route optimization is metered by the routing capacity each plan includes.
- Service plans with a step for each round, renewing automatically unless you turn it off
- A due-for-service queue of every round that is owed, to schedule, skip or reinstate
- Route templates with stop and time capacity, and a route builder that plans several days at once
- Weather advisories on outdoor visits, including rain forecast after an exterior pest treatment
In FieldRoutes
FieldRoutes lists route optimization in both of its plans. Its routing page describes pre-built routes and matching technicians to jobs by skill, and its pest control page describes scheduling automation for ongoing contracts.
