Drive-time scheduling
Customers request a visit in your business's own time zone, you accept it on a crew calendar, and everyone is told — with drive time kept in the plan, so a day of visits clusters instead of crisscrossing the metro.
The problem
A field day dies in the truck and on the phone: a job across town, then back for the next, and every booking, move and "can you come Thursday instead?" is a call somebody has to make and remember.
How it works
A customer picks a service, a day and a time on your website. Every time offered is your crew's real hours, in your business's time zone, and the server checks the one they picked again when they send it. The request lands on your calendar as a request; you accept or decline it, and an unanswered one is released after the hours you set, so nobody waits on a slot you never meant to give.
The office runs the week on a day or week calendar per crew: drag a visit to move it or hand it to another crew, and a clash with another visit, the crew's hours or the drive between jobs is refused with the reason. Booking by phone suggests the best openings for that address, scored by the drive from the job before. The crew opens today's route on a phone: stops in order, directions, a call button, Start and Complete.
Every customer gets a private link to see, move or cancel their visit up to your cutoff, a reminder before it, and an email at every change — the acknowledgement, the confirmation, the new time, the cancellation — sent through your own templates. Where no mail service is set up yet, nothing promises an email: the booking hands over the private link instead.
It pairs with the estimator: save an instant estimate and the very next step is requesting the free measurement visit, prefilled from the estimate and linked back to it. Drive times run on a keyless straight-line estimate out of the box and switch to Google's real drive times, cached, the moment a maps key is set.
- Online requests in the business's time zone, accepted or declined on the calendar, released automatically when nobody answers
- A day/week crew calendar with drag to move or reassign, and phone-in booking with drive-time-scored suggestions
- A private manage link per visit, a reminder before it, and an email at every change — honest when email isn't set up
- Today's route for each crew on a phone, and every setting — zone, services, notice, cutoff, crews, hours — on one page, no deploy
