Daily Route Optimization & Dispatch Alerts
A done-for-you home services automation built for the Logistics Coordinator, connecting Twilio and Slack so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Every morning before the first truck leaves the yard, this automation pulls the day's confirmed jobs, calculates the most efficient route order by location using live mapping data, and texts each technician their optimized stop list with addresses, job notes, and estimated drive times between calls.
Jobs added or cancelled later in the day automatically trigger a re-optimized route sent as an update, so technicians aren't crisscrossing town on a stale plan from 6 a.m. The logistics coordinator gets a live map view of every truck's planned route for the day instead of piecing it together from memory.
Average daily drive time drops meaningfully once routes stop being built by hand, which translates directly into an extra job or two that most crews can fit into the same workday.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Without automation, a logistics coordinator has to notice problems after they've already happened, then scramble to fix them manually one at a time. Over a month, those small manual steps add up to a significant amount of lost time.
With this automation
- Multi-touch reminders that measurably reduce no-shows
- Waitlists that backfill cancellations automatically
- Self-scheduling with instant confirmations
- Dispatch and on-my-way updates sent to the right people
