How does route optimization work when I add and lose clients throughout the season?+
The system dynamically adjusts routes as your client base changes. When a new client is added, the optimizer evaluates every existing route and inserts the new property at the position that adds the least drive time. When a client cancels, the system rebalances the remaining stops and may suggest moving a nearby property from an adjacent route to maintain efficiency. You can accept the system recommendations or manually adjust. The system tracks route efficiency metrics weekly so you can see whether changes are improving or degrading performance over time.
Can the system manage fertilization and treatment programs separately from mowing routes?+
Yes. Treatment programs run on their own schedules independent of mowing routes. Fertilization rounds are scheduled based on your regional timing recommendations — for example, five rounds per year at specific intervals matched to your growing season. The system builds application routes that are optimized independently from mowing routes because treatment stops are faster, typically 10 to 15 minutes, allowing more stops per day. Each client treatment schedule tracks applications completed and upcoming, ensuring no applications are missed and materials are prepared accurately for each round.
