There are many work activities, generally related to maintenance or safety regulations, which require recurring visits. Examples are boiler maintainers, managers of fire extinguishers, customers who take gas plants reading, those who check the pollution levels of industrial plants, cleaning companies, green maintenance, etc.
This type of business has a very large number of customers, usually with few changes over the years, which must be visited periodically. Visits periodicity can vary a lot: yearly, biannually, monthly, weekly, every other day, depending on the outcome of the last visit, etc. The customer offices are distributed throughout the territory, generally within a reference area, but far enough away from the maintenance technician's office.
When the number of these customers is large as the daily visits to be made, employee routes planning setup requires time and attention. All visiting periods must be evaluated and must be schedule workers trips, trying to split routes in the best way.
To save time and avoid errors, Eteria with Route4Me provides the "logbook" function included in the route optimization platform. Basically, it is enough to store customer's personal information (1), define visit periodicity details for that customer (2) and the platform automatically generates the working list to be carried out day by day. But it's not limited to this: this list is automatically splitted among employees, creating an optimized path for each one and delivering the path to the right mobile phone.
