Route time estimator

How long a day of interventions really takes.

Enter the number of stops, the average time on site and the average travel time between stops. The estimator shows the total route time and how much of it is spent travelling.

Rough estimate based on averages; real times vary with traffic and job complexity.

How the route time is estimated

  1. 1Multiply the number of stops by the average time on site to get service time.
  2. 2Multiply the number of legs (stops minus one) by the average travel time to get travel time.
  3. 3Add the two to get the total route time.

Why route time matters

Travel between sites is often the hidden half of a field day. Estimating it helps you build realistic routes, avoid over-promising arrival windows and see how much time smarter dispatching could save.

Frequently asked questions

Does it count travel before the first stop?

No. It counts travel between stops (stops minus one legs). Add your depot-to-first-stop time separately if you need it.

How can I reduce travel time?

Group nearby interventions, sequence stops geographically and dispatch the nearest available technician. Field service software with a map view makes this much easier.

Is this a routing optimiser?

No, it is a quick estimate. For true route optimisation you need live locations and constraints, which a field service platform provides.
