Real road drive times
Drive times from real roads, not straight lines.
Two miles as the crow flies can be fifteen minutes by road. Route Hero works out drive time on the actual road network and shows it between every stop on the schedule, flagged when the gap is too tight to make.
The same drive times rank open slots when you book a new job. See route-aware scheduling

Live tracking & on-my-way texts
Know where every truck is. So do your customers.
While a tech has tracking on in the Route Hero app, their live position shows on the dispatch map, and Route Hero flags anyone running late for their next stop. One tap texts the customer that their tech is on the way; another opens directions in Apple Maps or Google Maps.
