is there a way to create a route that automatically routes properly?
Im mowing, i drop in the customers on the weekly repeating routes and days. I get them routed, and (again as the system doesn't route by drive time but geo code) i have to move a bunch of them around. Its the same route. I would like to have a route template or something like that.
Hi BlueSkies
Out of curiosity, what specifically is not working well with the current optimization for you?
Is it mostly:
• the order in which the jobs are being placed?
• drive times not making practical sense?
• recurring customers shifting around week to week?
• crews crossing over each other geographically?
• needing more consistency so the same neighborhoods stay together?
Right now, Jobber is optimizing more heavily around geocode proximity than true drive-time routing, so I could definitely see recurring mowing routes becoming frustrating if you’ve already built a manually optimized flow that works better operationally.
A “route template” style workflow for recurring visits is an interesting idea, though, especially for lawn care, where consistency week to week matters just as much as pure optimization.
