Field service routing software that tells the customer when
Put each tech's jobs in the best driving order, update the arrival times, and let the customers know. When the tech heads out, one tap sends an ETA and a live tracking link.

Routing is where a service day quietly loses money. A tech who drives north, south, then north again burns an hour of paid time and a tank of gas, and the last customer of the day gets a call that the tech is "running behind." Consumer route apps can sort a list of addresses, but they do not know which jobs are yours, which tech has which job, or how to tell the customer the new time.
In FieldStacker the route comes from the schedule. The jobs are already there with their addresses and techs, so routing is one step, not a copy-and-paste into another app.
Routing software for a crew, not a road trip
The route starts from your schedule and ends with the customer knowing when you will be there.
Best driving order
A tech's day route reorders their jobs into the best driving order, from the jobs already on the schedule.
Arrival times updated
When the order changes, the arrival times change with it, and customers are told the new time.
Map view of the week
The schedule board's Map view shows every job as a pin colored by tech, so a cross-town job stands out.
"On my way" texts
One tap texts the customer that the tech is coming, with an ETA from the tech's GPS and a live tracking link.
Crew map
See the crew's jobs on one map. Live location is opt-in for each person and off by default.
Mileage logged
Automatic road-accurate mileage goes into your finances, next to income, expenses and receipts.

See the week on a map
The schedule board has a Map view next to Day and Week. Every job for the week shows as a pin, colored and lettered by tech. You can see when two techs are booked into the same neighborhood on the same afternoon, or when one tech has a single job twenty minutes away from everything else that day. Move it on the board and the customer's calendar invite moves with it.
- Day, Week and Map views of one schedule
- Pins colored by tech, with a legend
- Spot cross-town jobs before you book more
A routed day, step by step
From the night before to the last job.
Jobs on the board
Bookings, service-plan visits and same-day calls are already on each tech's row with their addresses.
Route the day
Put the tech's jobs in the best driving order. The arrival times update to match.
Customers know
Customers are told their time. A moved job moves the customer's calendar invite too.
"On my way"
The tech taps once when leaving the last job, and the next customer gets an ETA and a tracking link.
Every mile on the books
Driving is a real cost of a service business, and it is easy to under-count. FieldStacker logs road-accurate mileage automatically and puts it in your finances with income, expenses and scanned receipts. If you sync to QuickBooks Online, mileage can sync too. Better routes show up here as fewer miles for the same number of jobs.
- Automatic, road-accurate mileage
- A daily log of miles driven
- Mileage can sync to QuickBooks Online
What routing costs elsewhere, and what it is not
Prices from each company's own pricing page, checked October 26, 2026.
Housecall Pro adds routes on Essentials ($189/mo, 5 users) and route optimization on Max ($329/mo, 8 users). GorillaDesk is built around routes: $49/mo, $99/mo or $149/mo for the first route, with each added route extra, and its Basic plan routes up to 25 stops at a time. Both are reasonable picks if routing is the main thing you need. In FieldStacker, day routes are on Pro at $30/mo, with techs free.
What FieldStacker is not: fleet tracking. There are no vehicle telematics or dashcams. Location comes from each person's phone, it is opt-in and off by default. For door-to-door sales reps, the knock map has its own route planner to the warmest doors, and territories split the map between reps.
Field service routing questions
What is field service routing software?
Field service routing software puts each tech's jobs for the day into a sensible driving order, so the crew is not crossing town twice. Good routing software also updates arrival times when the order changes and tells customers when to expect the tech. It is part of scheduling, not a separate map app.
Is there a route optimization app for my techs?
Yes. In FieldStacker, a tech's day route puts their jobs in the best driving order, updates the arrival times and lets the customers know. The tech follows it on their phone, and the crew map shows where everyone's jobs are.
Can customers see when the tech is coming?
Yes, with the texting add-on ($15/mo for 600 texts). The tech taps "On my way" and the customer gets a text with an ETA from the tech's GPS and a live tracking link. The text comes from your own business number.
Is FieldStacker a sales route planner too?
For door-to-door sales, yes, but that is a different tool. The knock map has its own route planner that takes a rep to the warmest doors, with GPS-verified knocks and go-backs. For service crews, use day routes on the schedule.
Does routing software track my vans?
FieldStacker does not do vehicle telematics or dashcams. Location comes from the tech's phone, it is opt-in for each person, and it is off by default. Automatic road-accurate mileage is logged for your finances.
How much is routing software for a service business?
Day routes are on FieldStacker Pro at $30/mo, or $25/mo billed yearly, and techs are free. As checked October 26, 2026, Housecall Pro adds routes on Essentials at $189/mo and route optimization on Max at $329/mo, and GorillaDesk prices by route, from $49/mo for its first route.
