What it is

The map shows the day's visits as routes, one color per person. Optimize routes puts the stops in the best order so everyone drives less.

1 Optimize

  1. Open Schedule and switch to the Map view for the day.
  2. Click Optimize routes and set each person's start point (shop or home) once.
  3. Review the suggested order for each person — or choose Whole team to share the visits across the crew.
  4. Click Apply to update the visit times, then open Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions.

2 Road distances

  1. When your account has road routes turned on, the order and driving times use real roads.

Without it, routes use straight-line distances, which still work well for ordering visits.

Common questions

Will clients be told about new times?

Only if you choose to tell them when you apply the new times.
