Scheduling software for contractors
Business Genie is scheduling software for contractors: every job goes on one schedule with the technician who will do it, and route optimization orders each crew’s day by the shortest drive. It runs on the web and in the iOS and Android app.
What scheduling does in Business Genie
One schedule for every crew
Scheduling and dispatch work from the same schedule: a job goes on it with the technician who will do it, and the whole team works from it on the web and in the app.
Each day ordered by the shortest drive
Route optimization orders each crew’s jobs by the shortest drive, automatically.
Re-ordered when a job is added
Add a job in the middle of the day and the rest of the day is re-ordered around it.
Time windows kept
Appointment windows and job lengths hold when the day is re-ordered, so a shorter route never moves a promised time.

Every crew’s jobs on one schedule, with each day ordered by the shortest drive.
Where scheduling sits in a job
A job goes from the quote to the follow-up. In Business Genie, scheduling, dispatch and the route are one step: the job goes on a tech’s row, and route optimization orders that tech’s day. Every step is part of the same software, on the web and in the iOS and Android app. Scheduling works with route optimization, dispatch, online booking and the mobile app. The whole job, stop by stop, is drawn on one customer’s record.

What contractors ask about scheduling
What is contractor scheduling software?
It keeps every job, technician and appointment time in one place instead of a paper calendar, a whiteboard or a group text. For a business that drives to its jobs, the schedule also decides the driving: which tech goes where, and in what order.
Does Business Genie plan the route for a scheduled day?
Yes. Route optimization orders each crew’s day by the shortest drive, keeps appointment windows and job lengths, and re-orders the rest of the day when a job is added. It is on every plan.
Can my technicians see the schedule on their phones?
Business Genie runs in the iOS and Android app as well as on the web, and techs get turn-by-turn directions to each job from the app.
