🚚 Routing, Dispatch & Fleet
Once you have more than a handful of stops a day, the order you do them in is worth real money. Route optimisation software sequences stops against time windows, skills, and traffic, and re-optimises when a job runs long. Telematics and fleet tools attack the other half of the cost: fuel, idling, speeding, maintenance intervals, and the insurance discount that often pays for the hardware. Dense recurring-route businesses — lawn, pool, pest, cleaning — see the biggest gains.
Before you buy in this category
- Model your real worst day during the trial, not an average one.
- Check it respects skills and licences, not just geography, or you will route the wrong tech to the wrong job.
- For telematics, confirm the insurance discount in writing before you count it as savings.
- Tell your crews what is being tracked and why. Surprise GPS is a retention problem.
- Make sure the optimised route lands in the tech app they already use.
