Service Routes - Organize Visits and Reduce Travel Time | ReConto PRO
Organize Your Visits by Day and Arrive Prepared at Each Client
Plan daily routes, see complete client info before arriving (agreements, evaluations, to-dos), and reduce travel time—simple and effective tool.
❌ The Pain
- Time wasted on long and disorganized drives
- Arrive at client without knowing pending agreements or last evaluation
- Don't know if you're running late until it's too late
- Visits organized in Excel or paper—hard to see team capacity
- No way to see clients on map by zone
"Disorganization = Wasted time + poorly served clients."
🤖 The Solution
- Plan visits by day with simple calendar
- Suggests route that minimizes distance (basic but useful)
- Before visit: see pending agreements, last evaluation, client to-dos
- Tracking: when arrived/left + alert if at risk of delay
- Map with clients by team/zone
"Simple organization that works—without unnecessary complexity."
✅ The Result
- Less time driving—more time with clients
- Arrive prepared at each visit with complete info
- Know when at risk of delay—act in time
- Visible capacity usage—optimize workload
- Team documents work with photos and signatures
Simple, organized, effective.
What It DOES Do (And What It Doesn't Yet)
DOES: Organize visits by day, suggest route minimizing distance, bring complete client info before visit. DOESN'T (yet): Sophisticated optimization with traffic, drag-and-drop visits, real-time GPS of truck. We'll add more in future—for now it's simple but effective.
The Best Part: Complete Info Before Each Visit
When visiting client, ReConto shows you EVERYTHING instantly: Pending improvement agreements? Last evaluation? Open to-dos? You arrive prepared to serve them professionally—not improvising.

Why Organizing Routes Matters (Even If Simple)
Studies show basic route optimization can reduce 20-30% drive time. Although ReConto PRO doesn't yet have sophisticated optimization, day planning and route suggestion minimizing distance ALREADY saves you time vs organizing in Excel or paper.
Why Route Organization Is Critical for Service Providers
Managing routes effectively isn't just about convenience—it's about saving money, improving service reliability, and protecting your business reputation.
According to National Renewable Energy Laboratory, optimizing routes can reduce fuel consumption by 20-30% in field service operations. Geotab research shows that poorly planned routes make service teams lose up to 25% of their productive time each day.
Problems Caused by Poor Route Management
1. Increased Costs
Excessive driving wastes fuel, increases vehicle maintenance, and generates inefficiencies—costing approximately $30-$50 USD per wasted driving hour.
2. Lower Client Satisfaction
According to Field Service News, 52% of service cancellations are due to delays caused by poor planning.
3. Greater Stress for Technicians
Constant rescheduling without clear organization causes burnout and service errors.
4. Environmental Impact
More unnecessary miles mean more emissions, negatively affecting your ecological footprint.
