Job Routing

I need a way to properly route my jobs. I want to be able to start and create and end and the system builds the most effiecnt route. The lets start here and then hit every single property doesnt work. if you cant set an end point it can (like it is for me) sending me as far as possible away from my shop. and manually moving 50 jobs a job isnt practical. Again I come from a system this was simple. Honestly, it frustrating. Spending more but day to day isn't seem less. This is frustrating...and it shouldn't be.

    Hey BlueSkies! Thank you for bringing this to the community. 

    I first want to apologize for the frustration, routing can be tricky. The easiest way to route is to assign visits for a certain day, but not for a specific time. This way, you can use the daily route optimization. 

    There are two types of route optimization in Jobber, the master route which includes all properties or the daily route, which will only route for select visits scheduled for a specific day. 

    Here are some help articles that explain the differences: 

    1. Master Route
    2. Daily Route  

    To better understand these, I highly recommend giving our Success Team a call. Our reps would be happy to do a screen share to help you set up your route optimization so that it works for you, 888-721-1115 ext 1.
