In SortScape, we're all about making your day more efficient. One tool designed to help with that is the Route Optimization feature. This feature allows you to optimize your routing by reordering your job runs to minimize travel time, meaning less time on the road and more time at your jobsites.
Here's how to use it:
Go to your SortScape app and open up the 'day' or 'week' view. For each job run, you'll see a handy map icon right at the top.
Give that map icon a tap. This will open a modal that shows all visits for that particular job run on a map. It's a great way to visualise your day or week.
Make sure you have selected the correct start and end address. If you start your day at the office/shed or at home and end it there you should put that as your start and end address to allow us to optimize your route properly.
If you notice that your route doesn't look quite right, look out for the 'Optimize Route' button. If your route could use some tweaking for better efficiency, this button will be enabled.
All you need to do is click on the 'Optimize Route' button. The SortScape app will then reorder your jobs to make sure you're taking the quickest route possible.
Using Route Optimization not only saves you time but it also reduces non-billable time spent on the road. That's more time you can dedicate to your tasks, your clients, and growing your business.
So give Route Optimization a try next time you're planning your job runs. We think you'll find it's a great tool for making your day run a little bit smoother.
