Does it consider real-time traffic?

For day-of routing, optionally yes. For multi-day planning, historical traffic patterns by time-of-day are used; real-time is too volatile for a 5-day plan.

What happens when a job is added mid-day?

Drop it in and the remaining stops re-sequence around it. The engineer sees the updated order on their app straight away.

What about long-distance jobs?

Multi-day jobs and overnight stays are supported. The route engine treats the second day’s starting point as the previous night’s hotel.

Delivery, Project & Service Planning

uScheduler Project / Service / Sales

One plan for everything that happens after production.

Once production is done, there’s still delivery, installation, service and project work to plan. uScheduler P/S/S puts all of it in one overview and plans it against capacity, skills, geography, deadlines and material availability. It also checks whether the parts will be there on the day. Sales, logistics and engineers all look at the same board, so promises get kept and there are fewer surprises.

Routes that respect the map.

When a day's plan includes six addresses, the order matters. uScheduler proposes a route that minimises travel, taking traffic and access windows into account and starting from the engineer's home base. The saving is shown in time.

Daily route optimisation

Per engineer, per day. The algorithm proposes a sequence that minimises drive time; the planner can pin certain visits to certain times before re-optimising.

Home base in, home base out

Routes start and end at each engineer's home or depot, so the first and last drive of the day are part of the plan.

Travel savings, measured

After each optimisation, the drive time saved versus the prior order is shown. Boring planning becomes visibly valuable.

Wat je ziet

A route is a real number.

A field-service business that ignores routing leaks its scarcest resource: productive time. Every extra hour on the road is an hour not spent on a job. Cut drive time by 12% on a team of 20 engineers and you get back about 2 full-time people, without hiring anyone.

Wanneer dit ertoe doet

Signalen dat je dit nodig hebt.

Engineers build their own routes

When the planner gives a flat list, engineers triage by gut. The result is uneven and unverifiable.

Two engineers drive past each other

Different jobs, same neighbourhood, no co-ordination. A simple cross-engineer check ends this.

Nobody owns the drive time

Travel between jobs is treated as free. It isn’t. It’s the biggest chunk of unbillable time in the day, and it never shows up in the plan.

Wasted drive time hides the bill

When routes are sloppy, the cost shows up as hours lost on the road. It looks like “the cost of doing business” until somebody charts it.
