How To Optimize Plumbing And HVAC Routes For Last-Mile Efficiency
Planning efficient plumbing and HVAC routes is more complex than it seems. It’s not just about traveling from one job to the next. You also need to factor in customer availability, traffic, weather, and other last mile challenges. Without optimized routes, you risk delays, wasted fuel, and missed appointments
This is a complex process. When you try to plan routes by hand, it can take hours. Also, you’ll likely make some mistakes, which will delay your field employees and upset your customers.
That’s why every plumbing and HVAC company should use route planning software. Such software allows you to plan routes in less than a minute. You just need to plug in the addresses you want to visit, set the constraints (number of drivers, customer availability, etc.), and then you’re good to go.
Route planning software removes the risk of mistakes from the route planning process. It gives your field employees everything they need to show up on time, every time.
Route4Me has a GPS tracking feature, which can show you where your field employees are and how fast they’re going in real-time. This tracking data is automatically recorded, so you can review it whenever you find a convenient time. We have an online portal you can use to share tracking data with your customers as well.
