How To Optimize Landscaping Routes With GPS Tracking

Manual route planning wastes valuable time and fuel for landscaping businesses. From unpredictable traffic to weather and customer availability, there are too many variables to handle with pen and paper. Route optimization and real-time GPS tracking help you reduce delays, cut costs, and improve crew visibility, all without increasing your workload.

Plan faster, monitor crews live, and reduce costs with landscaping route and tracking software.

 

Isn’t using pen and paper to plan routes for your landscaping service frustrating? In addition to figuring out directions, you also need to account for traffic, construction, weather, customer availability, and more.

And that’s all before you even know where your crews are or whether they’re staying on track.

With modern landscaping fleet software, you can combine route optimization and GPS tracking in one streamlined platform. Just enter the addresses you want to visit, and your most efficient route will be ready in under a minute.

At the same time, GPS tracking gives you real-time visibility into your crews’ exact location and speed so you can keep everyone accountable and on schedule.

Automated routing also reduces travel time by 20% to 30%, which helps cut fuel and labor costs. You can use tracking data to analyze team performance, resolve customer disputes, and improve future scheduling without any extra manual work.
