How FieldCamp helps with route optimization ?

FieldCamp is an AI-powered field service management platform that simplifies dispatching, scheduling, and routing for mobile workforce teams. With its intelligent route optimization feature, FieldCamp dynamically calculates the shortest and most efficient paths for technicians, ensuring they reach their destinations in the least amount of time. 

Unlike traditional manual scheduling methods, FieldCamp integrates real-time data and AI algorithms to provide smart routing solutions without requiring third-party integrations.

Step-by-Step Guide to Route Optimization in FieldCamp 

Step 1: Input Job Details into FieldCamp 

  • Log in to your FieldCamp dashboard and enter all service jobs that need to be scheduled. 
  • Input essential details such as: 
  • Customer information (name, address, contact details). 
  • Job type and description (e.g., AC repair, electrical wiring, plumbing installation). 
  • Service priority level (urgent, standard, or low priority). 
  • Preferred service time slots to match customer availability. 
  • FieldCamp stores these job details in a centralized database, allowing dispatchers to easily access and manage assignments. 

Use the week-wise view for better planning of upcoming tasks and avoiding last-minute scheduling conflicts. 

Step 2: Assign Technicians Based on Location & Availability 

  • Use the job feature to assign service requests to available field personnel. 
  • FieldCamp provides an overview of: 
  • Technician availability (who is free or already scheduled). 
  • Skill match (ensuring the technician has the right expertise for the job). 

Always mark high-priority jobs to ensure they get assigned first, reducing customer wait times. 

Step 3: Enable Route Optimization to Generate the Best Path 

  • Open the Team Tracking feature in the Calendar section. 

  • Once technicians are assigned, FieldCamp’s route optimization engine calculates the most efficient sequence of job locations. 

  • The system then auto-generates an optimized travel route for each technician. 

Optimizing routes helps reduce technician travel time, allowing more jobs to be completed in a day. 

Step 4: Generate and Share the Optimized Route URL 

  • After route optimization is complete, FieldCamp creates a unique shareable URL containing the optimized route.  You can find the ‘Share URL’ option at the top right corner of the screen.

  • Technicians can open the link on their mobile device and follow the pre-determined route using their preferred navigation app (Google Maps, Waze, etc.). 
  • This eliminates the need for manual route planning and ensures a streamlined workflow. 

Review daily schedules at the start of the day to ensure no jobs are left unassigned. 

FieldCamp’s route optimization feature provides a simple yet highly effective solution for improving field service efficiency. Instead of relying on manual scheduling, businesses can automatically generate the best travel routes and share them with technicians via a single URL.
