Plan field service routes and jobs
Businesses with field staff plan routes and jobs, such as delivery services, home care services and tradespeople
Fits: Sales · Office, administration & casework · Logistics & warehousing · Health & care · Field service & trades
Fewer empty runs and less rushing between jobs. Time windows, qualifications and breaks are already in the plan instead of being patched up by phone in the morning.
Is this for you?
- Every day you drive to customers, patients or sites with several vehicles or teams, and today you plan this on a pinboard, in Excel or in your head.
- There are fixed time windows, jobs that only certain people may do, and last-minute changes that regularly throw the day into disarray.
Take a typical morning, replace names and addresses with codes and districts, and use the template below to calculate a plan for two vehicles. Check every line yourself and compare with the plan you actually drove.
How to go about it
- Write down the planning goal and fixed rules
- Record jobs, durations and people
- Have routes calculated
- Have dispatch check the routes
- Give routes to drivers and teams
- In the evening, compare the plan with the routes driven
