Pest control scheduling software

Business Genie is pest control scheduling software built around the route. The stops that need nobody home go on each technician’s day in the order that drives least, the times given to customers who need to be there are kept, and a new call re-orders the rest.

Most stops need nobody home

A pest control technician’s day is a string of short stops: quarterly services, scorpions along the block wall, bait stations, mosquitoes by the pool. Those need nobody home, so they can go anywhere in the day. A few need someone there: a new customer’s first service inside, an office that has to be open, an attic the customer lets you into. Those were given a time. Hold the times, and move the rest.

1 of 4
Thirteen stops, as they were taken
Jess’s Tuesday in the order the office booked it: the services as they came due, and the three stops that were given a time. In that order the truck crosses the area again and again, and she is done at 4:34.
2 of 4
Three stops need someone there
The initial service inside the Ortiz house at 9:00, the dental office at 1:00 while it is open, the attic traps at 3:00. Those times are the customers’, so they drop straight down: whatever else moves, they stay.
3 of 4
The ten that need nobody home
Route optimization orders them round the three pinned times by the shortest drive, filling the gaps between them. On the sample day that is 53 minutes of driving instead of 1 hour 51, and Jess is done at 3:58.
4 of 4
The ants are back at 11:30
A quarterly customer rings. The re-service needs nobody home either, so it goes in after the stop Jess is on; the stops still to come re-order round it, and the three pinned times do not move.

Questions about pest control scheduling software

How does pest control scheduling software order a technician’s day?

Business Genie orders each technician’s stops automatically, by the shortest drive, keeping each job’s length and any time window the customer was given. When a new job is added, the rest of that day is re-routed around it. Route optimization is on every plan.
