Overview – PlantRoute

The Web App for the interior plantscaping industry

PlantRoute has been specificially developed for the plantscaping industry. It assists you to manage your business and ensures no client misses a service.

PlantRoute organizes clients into Routes which are then allocated to technicians. PlantRoute provides technicians with a map of their clients and displays the route. Technicians use PlantRoute to log servicing at each client. They can record plant changes and take photos and notes. These notes are valuable for when the technician next visits the client.

PlantRoute monitors the due date of clients’ next service. Color-coding alerts technicians and administrators to upcoming and overdue clients.

If a client calls, you can quickly see the last date of their service and any notes the technician wrote. This allows informed responses to client’s queries or complaints.

How it works

1. Upload clients

Clients can be uploaded individually, or via a multiple client template. Client details include:

Name
Address
Contact information
Unique identifier
Service duration (30 min, 60 min etc)
Service frequency (1,2,3,4 weekly etc)
Inventory
Notes

2. Create User Profiles

Administrators and Technician profiles created. Technicians are allocated supervisors. Each user has their own unique logon and password.

3. Create Routes

Administrators select groupings of clients to be in Routes. The clients are displayed on a map to confirm the Route. Route duration is calculated to ensure that the work day length is realistic. The Route is given a number and name and then allocated to a Tech.

4. Create Push Jobs

Administrators can push ad-hoc jobs to technicians in addition to their scheduled route servicing

5. Techs record client visits

Techs login and can immediately see all of their clients’ status. Colour coding alerts which clients are overdue, allowing decisions on which Routes have priority. Techs can log servicing in two ways:

Via completing a Route.
– ‘Starting’ a Route shows the Tech a list of the clients in the Route in the preferred order of servicing. A map shows their location. Each client can be logged via clicking a button next to their name which opens a form to complete.
Via an unscheduled Job
– Outside of a Route, clients can be serviced, and plants and containers can be changed individually. I.e. if a client phones and request an immediate visit, or were closed during previous route etc.

The Tech can record: Date and time of visit, visit length, notes, request plant changes for immediate replacement or replacement at next service, take photos and send to supervisor with any queries, plant replacement completed, other reasons for visits (quotes, install additional plants, casual hire for function etc)

6. Admins/Supervisors oversee all client status

Admins can see at a glance all clients’ status (last serviced date, next due date, number of days until due/overdue, color coded) and the allocated Tech. Admins can respond to any notes taken by the tech. If a Tech is sick, their Routes can be allocated to other techs. Messages can be sent to Techs i.e. to inform them of client calls/requests for visits etc.

Home screen for Techs . They can quickly see if there are any overdue or pushed Jobs that need their attention.

Using color-coding, techs can see quickly the status of all their jobs. Red indicates jobs are overdue.

Once clocked on, timesheets record all tech's activities and can include odometer readings

When techs clock out, they can add other items to their timesheets such as breaks, sundry work expenses.

Techs can easily see which of their routes is next due.

When logging a service, techs can select what activities they performed.

Inventory list allows techs to see what stock is on site and ensures no plants are missed.

Techs can request plant changes from the same servicing form.
