What is Route Optimization?

Route optimization is the process of determining the most efficient travel path for a technician or crew visiting multiple job sites in a single day. It accounts for traffic patterns, service windows, job duration, and geographic proximity to minimize drive time and fuel costs. Good route optimization can save field service businesses 20-30% on fuel and add one or two extra jobs per day.

Example

A lawn care crew with 12 properties to mow enters all addresses into their route optimizer, which reorders the stops to cut 45 minutes of drive time from the day.
