To filter the technicians based on their schedule or vehicle location, select from the Recommendations based on filter.

Note

You will only see the schedule and vehicle location options if your job is scheduled for today.

  • Select "Schedule" to get technician recommendations with the best travel time to the new job.

  • Select "Vehicle location" to see the technicians who are near to the new job right now. Each recommended technician will have a status of “Busy”, “Available”, or “Off-duty”.

If you select "Vehicle location", additional icons are displayed in the scheduler. These give you extra information on the status of the vehicle, the travel time needed to reach the desired address, if the technician has been delayed, and points to where the GPS signal was lost.

Total travel time

Sorting by "Total travel time" highlights technicians whose schedule takes them close to the job location at the required time.

This is calculated using the technician’s current location, the technician’s home address, or your company address.

We recommend that you add your company address and your technicians' starting locations (if they do not start and end their day at the company location).

Schedule efficiency

Sorting by "Schedule efficiency" highlights technicians who might not be passing close to a job location but have the time in their schedule to travel there and return before their next appointment.
