Scheduling that thinks in whole days
Onroute picks the right engineer and the tightest date for every job. You see the drive time and the route before you book. Book it, and the rest of that engineer's day re-plans around it — a run, not a zig-zag across the county.
Built to keep vans working, not driving
Every recommendation shows the drive time and how full that day would be, and a feasibility preview shows what fits before you book. Fuller days, fewer dead miles.
Right engineer, tightest date
Pick from a short list of engineers and dates, each with the drive time and the route. It already knows who's qualified, who's on and who's off.
Self-serve booking
Coming soonSoon: customers pick from dates that already fit an engineer's run — never a date you'd regret.
Reshuffle the day
When a job cancels, run the day again. Onroute swaps visits between engineers to cut the driving. Booked dates never move.
Multi-day, multi-trade plans
Scaffold Monday, panels Tuesday, electrician Thursday, commissioning next week — saved as a template and booked in one go.
Arrival windows customers trust
Coming soonSoon: morning or afternoon, worked out from the engineer's planned route — and updated when the day changes.
See how full each day is
Each engineer's day shows driving, time on site and breaks in one bar, so you see how full it is before you promise more.
A diary that re-plans itself
Add, move or cancel a visit and that engineer's whole day re-plans itself — run order, arrival times, lunch, route. Book by hand and Onroute still fills in the drive times.
Features
- Jobs slot into runs, not just gaps
- Approved leave, half-days and bank holidays kept clear
- Warns you before you promise a day that won't fit
- Pinned start times stay put, whatever else you book
Engineers, patches and availability
Onroute already knows who can do the work and when. Trades and qualifications decide who is eligible for a job. Working hours, shift patterns and breaks set the shape of the day. Home bases and patches decide whose county it is.
Features
- Trades and qualifications rule out anyone who can't do that job
- Working hours, shift patterns and breaks, per engineer
- Home bases, patches and territories keep work near the van
- Crews booked as one, for the jobs that need two pairs of hands
- Leave approved in Onroute comes off the diary before anyone books
- Bank holidays and your own closures kept clear
Routes and the map
Every recommendation comes with the run it makes: the drive time, the order of the calls and the route drawn on a map. Engineers and visits sit on that map as pins, so you can see a day before you promise it.
Features
- Recommended routes, with the drive time on each option
- Engineers and visits as pins, grouped where they bunch up
- Open a pin to see the job behind it
- Fixed times, and a first or last call of the day, stay where you put them
- SLA deadlines counted from the enquiry or the target date
- EV-aware routing for electric vans, switched on when you need it
Planned maintenance on one board
See planned maintenance for your site systems in one place. Each line shows its cadence, when it was last done and when it’s next due.
Features
- Counts of what’s due, overdue, held and booked
- The preferred engineer for each task
- Booked or held from the diary, due or overdue from the date
- Filter the board by site
- Reserve a slot from the board, with the job and date filled in
- Each site’s page shows its own planned maintenance
Hold a slot before it’s firm
Book a visit as a hold while the customer decides. It releases itself after a set number of days, three by default. Confirm it when they say yes.
Features
- Turn on ‘Hold’ when you book a visit
- Reserving from the planned maintenance board books a hold
- A dashed Hold card on the calendar, with its held-until date
- Confirm from the visit when the customer agrees
