Route optimization software built for HVAC, plumbing, pest control, cleaning, and every trade that sends technicians from stop to stop. [Book a 15-minute call](https://calendly.com/jeel-fieldcamp/30min)We configure it around your business. 4.8Capterra Trusted by HVAC, plumbing & pest control teams using route planning software — from a 10-tech shop to a multi-state franchise. HVACPlumbingCleaningPest ControlElectricalLandscaping 01 Multi-stop route planner ## Every stop on a map. _In the order that saves the day._ One pin per stop, numbered in driving order, with each technician’s route drawn in their own color. Start point in green, jobs in sequence. Click any pin for the address and arrival time. 02 Route optimization savings ### Less driving. _More billable stops._ See the day before and after we optimize it — same jobs, fewer miles. Cut drive time and fuel, and fit one more stop into a route that looked full. Every saved mile is a mile your tech spends on the clock, not on the road. 03 Dynamic route recalculation ### A job lands at 10am. _The route fixes itself._ Add an emergency call, [move a visit, or reorder a stop](https://fieldcamp.ai/scheduling/) and FieldCamp re-sequences the route around it — without breaking the rest of the day. Routing is [one input to the AI Dispatcher](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/), which also weighs skills, capacity, and time windows. Re-optimize one tech or the whole board. 04 Route planning features ## Every route optimization feature, _on one platform._ Multi-stop sequencing is the core. Around it: a live map, GPS tracking, customer ETAs, and an AI Dispatcher that places the work — all on the same board.

A shortest-path app doesn't know Priya is the only tech certified for that unit, or that the morning slot is already full. We optimize the route and respect skills, capacity, and time windows together. 02 ### The day never goes to plan. An emergency call comes in, a customer reschedules, a tech runs long. Reorder a stop or drop in a job and the route re-sequences around it — no rebuilding the morning by hand. 03 ### Your customer sees the tech coming. GPS check-in, a live location, an on-the-way text with an ETA, and a track-your-tech link. Fewer "where are they?" calls, fewer missed appointments. 06 Field service software platform ## Routing is one piece. _The rest fits the same way._ Every feature is configured around your business — and connected to the same data. Take the whole platform, or just the part you need.

[Route optimization software calculates the most efficient order to visit a set of stops](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/calendar/route-optimization-in-fieldcamp), so [technicians drive less and fit more work into the day](https://fieldcamp.ai/blog/field-service-optimization/). Good field service route optimization software does more than draw the shortest line — it sequences multi-stop routes while respecting each technician’s skills, capacity, and the customer’s time window, shows the result on a map, and re-optimizes when the day changes. FieldCamp does all of this as part of its AI Dispatcher. ### How much drive time can route optimization save? Field service teams typically [cut drive time and mileage by 15–30%](https://fieldcamp.ai/blog/field-service-metrics/) with optimized multi-stop routing versus planning by hand. Less driving means lower fuel costs and room for an extra stop or two on routes that looked full — which is why [the savings show up on both expenses and revenue](https://fieldcamp.ai/reporting-software/). ### Does the route recalculate when a job is added? Yes. When you add an emergency call, [move a visit, or reorder a stop](https://fieldcamp.ai/scheduling/), [FieldCamp re-sequences the affected route around it](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/calendar/job-tray-and-dispatch) without breaking the rest of the day. You can re-optimize a single technician or the entire board, and the AI Dispatcher weighs skills, capacity, and time windows alongside drive time. ### Can I see technicians and routes on a map? Yes. The map view shows [one pin per stop, numbered in driving order](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/live-dispatch-map-timeline), with each technician’s route drawn in their own color. The start point is marked, and clicking any pin shows the address and estimated arrival time. You also get a route-density view to see where work is clustered. ### Does FieldCamp include GPS and live tracking? Yes. Technicians check in and out with GPS, you can [see their live location on the map](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/calendar/fieldcamp-live-team-tracking), and customers get an on-the-way text with an ETA plus a “track your tech” link. Each visit shows an estimated arrival time so dispatch and customers always know what’s next. ### Is route optimization good for HVAC and plumbing? Yes. [HVAC](https://fieldcamp.ai/hvac-software/), plumbing, cleaning, pest control, electrical, and [landscaping teams](https://fieldcamp.ai/landscaping-software/) all run multi-stop days where [the right tech has to reach the right job](https://fieldcamp.ai/team-management/) inside a promised window. FieldCamp’s route optimization is built for exactly that — skills-aware sequencing, emergency-call recalculation, and live tracking — for commercial and residential work alike. ## Want routing _built around your shop?_ Book a fifteen-minute call.
