Route optimization software for field service contractors

Business Genie orders each crew’s day by the shortest drive, automatically — keeping appointment windows and job lengths, splitting jobs across your techs, and re-routing the rest of the day when a new job comes in. It is on every plan, on the web and in the iOS and Android app.

As the line reads on the app’s schedule — here for the simulated day on the map, three crews on the real streets of Gilbert, Arizona.
In the app

The saving is on the schedule

Today
The day’s total drive, and what the optimized order saves, sit above the jobs, one tap from applying.
Between jobs
Every job shows the drive to the next one, so a tech knows the gap before the job ends.
On the road
The next job opens in turn-by-turn directions from the same screen.

Screens show sample jobs; the saving is the simulated day on the map above.

How it works

What route optimization does in Business Genie

Orders the day for you
Business Genie works out the shortest order for each crew’s jobs and shows the drive it saves, in minutes and miles, on the schedule. Every job shows the drive to the next one.
Re-routes when the day changes
Add a job in the middle of the day and the rest of the day is re-ordered around it.
Splits jobs across your techs
The day’s jobs are divided across your technicians, not just ordered for one.
Keeps your time windows
Appointment windows and job lengths hold, so a shorter route never moves a promised time.
Turn-by-turn directions
Techs get turn-by-turn directions to each job from the app.
On every plan, everywhere
Route optimization is included on every plan, on the web and in the iOS and Android app.
Questions

Route optimization, answered

What is route optimization for field service?
Route optimization puts a technician’s jobs for the day in the order that needs the least driving, instead of the order the jobs were booked. For a field service business, less driving means more time on jobs and lower fuel costs.
How does Business Genie optimize routes?
It orders each crew’s day by the shortest drive automatically, keeps appointment windows and job lengths, splits the jobs across your technicians, and shows the time and miles the new order saves on the schedule.
Does it re-route when a job is added during the day?
Yes. When a new job is added, the rest of the day is re-ordered around it.
Does it give turn-by-turn directions?
Yes. Techs get turn-by-turn directions to each job from the app.
Which plans include route optimization?
Every plan. Route optimization is not an add-on.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Route optimization works on the web and in the Business Genie app for iOS and Android.
How much time will it save?
It depends on your jobs and your area. Business Genie shows the saving for your own day — the minutes and miles — on the schedule, so you see the number for your business rather than an average.
