Routemize

How it works

How Routemize decides
which times to show.

Every other booking tool asks one question: are you free then? Routemize asks the question that actually costs you money: where will you already be? Here is exactly what happens between a customer asking for an estimate and it landing on your calendar — it takes about a second.

First: three steps to set it up

About ten minutes, once.

1

Sign up

Takes a minute. Your 14-day free trial starts right away.

2

Set your rules

Where you'll drive, what estimates you want, when you work.

3

Send your link

Website, text, or social. Customers do the rest.

Then: five checks on every request

You set these once. Routemize runs them every single time somebody asks to book.

1
Territory

Is this customer in your area?

Routemize checks the estimate address against the service area you drew — a radius, a set of zip codes, or a custom shape on the map. Anyone outside it can't take a slot on your calendar. Out-of-area requests get politely declined or sent to you for review.

2
Qualify
The big one

Is this the kind of work you want?

This is the step that keeps junk off your calendar. Before anyone is shown a single time, they answer your screening questions. The estimates you want most book instantly. Anything unusual — a specialty estimate, a commercial bid, a repair you'd rather quote by phone — is marked request-only and waits for your yes instead of holding a slot.

What you control

  • The questions every customer answers before they ever see a time.
  • Which types of work can book themselves — your bread-and-butter estimates go straight onto the schedule.
  • Which types need your approval first — those come to you as a request, and the slot stays open until you say yes.
  • What's out of scope entirely — work you don't do gets turned away instead of turning into a wasted drive.

The same rules apply no matter how the request arrives — your website, a link you texted, or a call the AI voice agent picks up. No more tire-kickers holding a slot. Only the estimates worth driving to reach your schedule.

3
Availability

When are you actually free?

Routemize reads your live calendar and throws out anything that conflicts: estimates already booked, personal blocks, days off. Nothing can double-book you, so you never find out about a clash the morning of.

4
Best time

Which opening keeps the day tight?

This is the part no other booking tool does. Of the times you're genuinely free, Routemize measures each one against the stops already on your route and ranks them by how few extra miles they add. The customer is shown the tight ones first.

5
Booked & synced

It lands where you already work

The customer confirms, gets an instant confirmation, and the appointment flows into the CRM you already run — DripJobs, Jobber, Housecall Pro, or anything else through Zapier. No copy-paste, no double entry.

What that looks like in a day

Drive time is the buffer.

Every other calendar leaves a random gap between appointments and hopes it's enough. Thirty minutes. An hour. A guess. Routemize measures the real drive between those two addresses and makes that the gap.

So the day packs in tight: finish, drive, start. You're not sitting in a parking lot for twenty minutes, and you're not flooring it across town because someone booked you badly.

🎯
No guessing

The gap is the actual drive, down to the minute.

No dead time

No padded hour that you spend waiting around.

🚗
No mad dashes

Never booked somewhere you can't actually reach in time.

Every minute is accounted for. Back-to-back estimates, with the drive itself as the only gap.

Two ways customers reach you

🔗

They book themselves

Share a booking link, drop a form on your website, or text the link straight from the mobile app while you're standing out on an estimate. They pick a route-friendly time in seconds.

📞

The AI voice agent answers

When you can't pick up — nights, weekends, or up a ladder — the voice agent takes the call, asks the right questions, and books the same route-friendly slot. Hear a real call →

Either way the booking runs through the same five checks, and either way it ends up on your calendar and in your CRM.
