Routes & GPS

The worker opens the phone and knows exactly where the day goes

A route template becomes a real day: locations in order, tasks per site, automatic clock-in on arrival. You see live where each team has got to — and how long they stayed.

How routes work

Set the template once, run the week

Four steps — and nobody rebuilds the plan every Monday morning.

1Route template

Group the sites that belong together, set the order and the days they're served.

2Generated routes

The system produces real routes for the chosen date range, with tasks attached per location.

3Timeline on the phone

The route card sits at the top of the day; the worker moves down it location by location.

4Replacements

Someone off sick? Reassign the route to another worker and the day continues.

In the field

One screen the whole shift

No calls to the office to ask what's next, no paper list in the van. The route card is the day, and everything the worker needs — access codes, equipment, checklist — travels with each location.

Arrival and departure logged without anyone typing anything

When a worker enters the site zone, the clock starts; when they leave, it stops. The result is an hour log you can defend in front of a client, an auditor or a payroll run.

Route planning in the office

Pick an employee, press Plan route, and the day comes back optimised

Choose the start point — any address, one of the day's locations or your current position — and whether the day ends where it started. The system orders the stops, draws them on the map and gives you distance, drive time, working time and an efficiency figure for the whole day.

Absences are visible while you plan

Holidays and sick leave appear in the grid in their absence-code colour, pending requests are striped, and work planned on an absence day is outlined in red as a conflict.

Real arrival times land on the tasks

Each stop's calculated arrival becomes the task's start time — travel included, rounded to clean quarter-hours, chained stop by stop using live traffic.

A saved plan is never quietly wrong

Move or re-estimate a task and the day turns amber and reads Needs update, showing the old value beside the new one per stop before you recalculate.

The same route on the phone

The route the office builds is the route the technician opens

Five fixed tabs — Home, Schedule, Chat, Map and Time — put the working day one tap away. The stop sequence carries arrival times and drive time to the next job, with running counts of completed, in progress and remaining; it can be re-optimised or reordered by dragging, and switched to a map at any point.

Time and attendance on the phone — clock in, break and clock out on one card with the running total
Incident reporting from site with photos and witnesses
Hands-free where hands are busy

A voice assistant on the home screen and voice logging in Time & Attendance let hours and notes be registered without taking gloves off.

The whole job, not just the timesheet

Team chat, the handbook, checklists, absence registration, forms and approvals — plus incident reporting with photos, so what happens on site is reported from site.

Same data, same rules

Hours registered on a phone are the hours the leader approves, against the same plan and the same wage types as the web application.

GPS & employee privacy

The first question your employees will ask

Location tracking only works if the people being tracked accept it. So we make the boundaries explicit, and you set them — not us.

What the worker sees

Their own route, their own hours, their own completed tasks — and the same log their manager sees. Nothing hidden from them.

What the manager sees

Site status, arrival and departure per location, and completion confirmations — within working hours, not around the clock.

What you control

Privacy policy settings per company, who has which role, how long location data is kept, and what is switched off entirely.

Where it's stored

In the EU, under a DPA, GDPR compliant. Documentation available for works-council and public-sector review.

What routes let you measure

Numbers that decide whether a contract is worth renewing at the same price.

Kilometres per route

Where the driving — and the fuel — actually goes.

Time on site

Real minutes per location against what you priced.

Missed visits

Caught the same day, not in a client complaint.

Route utilisation

Whether a round can take one more site — or one fewer.
