New · Routes

The schedule is done before the coffee is.

Routes plans tomorrow overnight, from the jobs already on your board. Your dispatcher opens Fieldnote to a finished day, not an empty one.

How it works

Overnight, Routes does the part that used to take all morning.

  • Plans while you sleep

    At midnight Routes takes every open job, every crew's hours and every promised window, and builds the day.

  • Orders stops by real drive time

    Not as the crow flies. Routes uses road time for the hour the crew will actually be driving.

  • Respects the rules you already have

    Licences, vehicle types, two-person jobs, a tech who can't work Thursdays. If it is on the crew profile, Routes honours it.

  • Re-routes when the day changes

    A cancellation at 10:00 is a gap. Routes offers the nearest job that fits and asks before it moves anything.

  • Leaves the decision with you

    The plan arrives as a draft. Approve it in one tap, or drag a card and Routes re-balances the rest.

  • Explains itself

    Every plan comes with a note. Why this stop is first, why that crew, what changed since yesterday.

The pilot

Eight weeks, six companies, one board.

We ran Routes with six Fieldnote customers from March to May: two HVAC firms, a plumber, an electrician, a pest control company and a regional appliance repair team. Fleets from four trucks to thirty-one.

Every morning the dispatcher got a draft plan. Every evening we asked what they changed and why. By week three, most drafts were approved without edits. By week six, two dispatchers had stopped coming in early.

The miles came down because the order of stops improved. The on-time rate came up because promised windows were finally part of the plan, not a note in the margin.

Questions we heard in the pilot

Does Routes replace my dispatcher?

No. It replaces the first forty minutes of their day. The plan is a draft until a person approves it, and every change they make teaches Routes what your operation prefers.

What if a customer calls and needs someone today?

Add the job the way you do now. Routes finds the crew that can take it with the least disruption and shows you the trade-off before you say yes.

Which Fieldnote plans include Routes?

Routes is included on Team and Fleet plans. There is no per-seat charge and no add-on. If you are on Solo, talk to us and we will find a fit.

When can we start?

Early access opens in September 2026 for current customers. Leave your details below and we will set up your board on a 30-minute call.
