Use route optimization and GPS tracking to reduce expenses, increase oversight, and enhance customer communication.

 

All those miles increase your fuel costs and wear down your vehicles, leading to expensive repairs and maintenance.

Route4Me can radically reduce these expenses for you. Our powerful route optimization engine cuts travel time by 20% to 30%, which directly lowers your fuel expenses and vehicle wear and tear. Combining optimized routes with GPS tracking allows you to closely monitor your fleet’s activity and identify opportunities to further improve efficiency.

Another major challenge to running a snow removal service is not knowing exactly what your field employees are doing during their shifts. They might be working hard, or they might be slacking off. Without visibility, it’s hard to tell.

That’s where Route4Me’s GPS tracking feature comes in. It shows you the real-time locations and speeds of your vehicles at all times, so you can be confident your team is following their routes and working efficiently. The detailed tracking data is also automatically recorded for easy review and accountability.

You can even share this GPS tracking data directly with your customers. Each route created with Route4Me has a unique tracking link you can send via text or email. Customers simply enter this link into our online portal to see the live location of your field employees, improving transparency and customer satisfaction.
