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.
Route optimization in the app
Route optimization works in the Business Genie app for iOS and Android as it does on the web, and it is on every plan. In the app, techs see their day and get turn-by-turn directions to each job, and the office schedules and routes the crews from the web or from the app.

What route optimization does in Business Genie
Business Genie is field service management software for contractors, built around route optimization — schedule and route your crews, then invoice and get paid, on the web and in the iOS and Android app. Route optimization orders each crew’s day by the shortest drive, automatically, instead of leaving the jobs in the order they were booked. It splits the day’s jobs across your technicians, keeps appointment windows and job lengths so a shorter route never moves a promised time, and re-routes the rest of the day when a new job is added. Techs get turn-by-turn directions to each job from the app. Route optimization is not an add-on: it is on every plan, and plans start at $50 a month, with a free one-month trial and no credit card to start.
