August 18, 20261 min read JobOpsPro

Dispatchers can now sequence a technician's day by shortest drive, appointment window, or urgency, and see every drive leg on a live map.

## What changed

The dispatch board now optimizes each technician's route instead of leaving the order to guesswork. Choose one of three strategies and the board re-sequences the stops for you.

- **Shortest drive** orders stops to cut total windshield time between calls.
- **Appointment time** respects promised arrival windows first, then trims drive time inside those constraints.
- **Urgency** pushes no-heat and no-cool emergencies to the front of the day.

## Live route maps

Each route renders on a map with the drive legs between stops drawn in order, so a dispatcher can see the shape of the day before committing to it. Filtering by technician isolates a single route.

## Why it matters

Fewer miles between calls means more billable stops per truck and tighter arrival windows for customers. Because the board is connected to job status, an en-route update reaches the customer automatically as the technician moves.
