Reduce Windshield Time with Cost-Effective Lawn Care Route Optimization

In the lawn care industry, time is money, and a lot of that time can be wasted behind the windshield. Whether you’re stuck in traffic or trucking from one end of town to the other, inefficient routing can chew up more than just time; it eats away at your profits, too.

For many lawn care businesses, managing multiple clients, juggling unpredictable weather, and navigating rising fuel costs can feel like a losing game. On top of that, many route optimization tools come at an extra cost. Suddenly, you’re spending more on software than you are on gas.

Good news: Briostack’s lawn care scheduling software offers route optimization with built-in GPS features, meaning you can streamline your routes without squeezing your budget. Need advanced GPS fleet tracking? We integrate with leading GPS providers, available at an additional cost. Let’s dig into the details!

The Financial Impact of Vehicle and Fuel Expenses

Your fleet of vehicles is like your fleet of mowers: They’re essential to getting the job done. But unlike mowers, trucks and vans come with significant ongoing costs.

Think about it: Fluctuating fuel costs, insurance premiums, and regular maintenance, such as oil changes and tire rotations, can add up quickly. And that doesn’t include unexpected expenses, such as breakdowns, repairs, or midseason tire replacement. The more time your crew spends driving between jobs, the faster your fleet wears out, leading to more frequent repairs and maintenance. Plus, every mile you put on a vehicle shortens its lifespan.

On top of vehicle costs, every minute your crew members spend driving is a minute they’re not servicing customers. Windshield time isn’t productive time, but it still increases fuel and payroll costs. With poor route planning, you’re not just wasting fuel; you’re also wasting opportunities to complete more jobs in a day.

Luckily, there’s a way to reduce windshield time and keep your trucks in top shape without adding to your expenses. Let’s talk about Briostack’s lawn care scheduling software.

How Briostack’s Free Route Optimization Saves You Money

With Briostack’s free route optimization and GPS integration, you can cut down on windshield time and reduce manual processes across the board. Here’s how we help:

Smart Scheduling, Less Driving

Briostack’s intelligent scheduling takes your techs’ locations and job sites into account to create the most efficient routes possible. This means your crew spends less time driving from one customer to another, which equals fewer fuel stops, reduced wear on vehicles, and more time actually getting work done. 

And because Briostack includes basic GPS integration, your techs can see their routes on a map with turn-by-turn navigation. For more comprehensive GPS fleet tracking and real-time updates, we partner with top GPS tracking companies, which are available at an additional cost.

No Extra Fees—Seriously

Other route optimization tools might charge extra for GPS tracking, whereas Briostack includes basic route optimization and built-in GPS features at no additional cost. For businesses needing advanced GPS fleet tracking, we also offer easy integration with leading providers (available at an additional fee). 

We believe in being the best software for your business—not just another vendor trying to upsell you. The result? Shorter routes, less fuel burned, and vehicles that last longer—all without paying a penny extra for essential features.

Guardian Pest & Lawn, one of our many satisfied customers, saw its operational costs drop thanks to smarter routing. “From a technician standpoint, I think that the best feature I found with the new software was the ability to reroute yourself in the field,” said Paul Wordleman, a technician at Guardian Pest & Lawn.
