How does location-aware scheduling improve route density?+
When a customer books an appointment, the system prioritizes time slots when you are already scheduled in their geographic area. If you have a morning job in the Eastside, the system promotes morning and early afternoon Eastside slots to the next customer who books. This natural geographic clustering means you spend less time driving between jobs and more time detailing. Over time, your schedule becomes a series of tight geographic zones rather than random locations scattered across your service area.
Can I manage recurring subscription packages with different service levels?+
Yes. You define subscription tiers with different service levels, frequencies, and pricing. A basic monthly subscription might include an exterior wash and interior vacuum, while a premium monthly subscription adds full interior detail and paint protection. Customers can upgrade or downgrade their subscription at any time. The system handles prorated billing for mid-cycle changes and automatically schedules each subscription visit on the recurring calendar.
