Dispatch and route planning: the day built around geography

A septic company mixes pump-outs, inspections, aerobic maintenance and repairs across seven counties. We run dispatch and route planning with Brown Aerobic so the day is ordered by zone and job type.

What we did

What is in place

Order the day by zone

Jobs are grouped by area first, so a truck does not cross the county twice.

Account for job type

A pump-out, an inspection and an aerobic service take different time and sometimes different people.

Keep the field and office on one board

The office sees the same day the technicians do.

What we measured

How we checked it

  • Nothing. We have no verified before figure for drive time, jobs per day or fuel, so we publish none.
What we did not measure

Where this stops

  • Drive time, fuel, jobs per day and any change in them.
