The weekly rebuild
Every week, the scheduler starts over.
Most recurring-service teams build next week in a spreadsheet or on a whiteboard, and much of the process lives in one person's head.
- Copy last week's sheet, mistakes included.
- Flip customers on and off for every‑other‑week and monthly stops.
- Check time off, holidays and events across calendars, texts and memory.
- Untangle conflicts. Moving one customer bumps another, which bumps another.
- Call every customer whose visit moved, one at a time.
- Re‑enter every change in the system the business runs on.
60%of the week
One scheduler told us that about 60% of their week went to four tasks.
About a quarter went to one question: where can this customer go, and who does it bump?
How it works
One board for the whole week.
01Build
Next week builds itself.
Keep one master list of recurring services and their cadences. Every week is generated from it, so every‑other‑week and monthly customers land on the right weeks without anyone flipping them by hand.
- Every cadence you run. Weekly, set weekdays, every N weeks, monthly by date or weekday, quarterly, twice a year, seasonal and one‑offs.
- Applied for you. Time off, holidays, closures, internal events, vehicle maintenance and venue event calendars.
- Weather days handled. Close a day and its visits spread across the rest of the week instead of dropping off.
- Start from what you have. Import your current master spreadsheet.

02Fix
Where can this customer go? Answered in seconds.
Find a spot checks every route in the week and ranks the options. Each one tells you exactly what it costs before you commit.
Northside MedicalHood cleaning · 90 min · window 5:30–9 AM · usually Marcus Lee
- Plain labels. Fits as is, pushes later stops back, bumps another stop, or runs past clock‑out.
- The context that matters. Whether the usual day and technician are kept, and when the route would end.
- One click for the backlog. Place everything waiting for a spot in its best slot at once.
20+ live checks
Conflicts caught before your crews find them.
Every change is checked against every rule, live. Problems are flagged, never hidden. Red means must fix, amber means worth a look.

Call‑off help

People and time off
Working days and shifts, plus time off and leave for PTO, call‑offs, late starts and early finishes. Routes update after showing what changes.
Fleet and equipment
Vehicle and equipment lists with out‑of‑service dates, so nothing gets routed onto a van that's in the shop.

Night routes
Overnight routes that cross midnight are first-class, with their own shifts and dark headers on the board.
Service durations
A trusted master list of how long each service takes for each crew size, so every plan starts from real numbers.
