  • Appointment management

    Tenants want service appointments that work around their schedule. Confirming, cancelling, and rescheduling appointments by telephone uses valuable support resources while wasting customers’ time.

    Streamline the process by offering appointment management through a web-based customer portal.

  • Route planning, scheduling and optimisation

    Route planning enables fleet and service managers to optimise the routes taken by their mobile operatives, whilst route scheduling creates an efficient schedule for drivers and service staff to follow. 

    Route optimisation and dynamic scheduling software responds to changes in real time to maximise efficiency and customer experience.

  • Appointment tracking

    Enhance the final mile experience for customers and improve fleet efficiency with customer notifications and order tracking.   

    Appointment tracking software uses order status and driver location data to provide a better customer experience.  

    Customers receive either SMS or email notifications throughout the order lifecycle. These messages link to a branded, web-based portal where customers can view their order progress and track their driver’s arrival in real-time on a map.
