Route optimisation software

Transport Planning Software for Field Service Teams

Businesses within field service all share the same core challenge: getting the right person to the right location, on time, every time. Access MaxOptra's transport planning software optimises routes and schedules across all three, whether that's an engineer meeting an SLA, a care worker completing a domiciliary visit, or a technician carrying out a compliance-critical inspection.

Route planning for field service workers

Reduce the admin behind scheduling your team

Transport planning software should do the heavy lifting so your schedulers don't have to. Access MaxOptra's planning functionality is built to take the routine work off their hands, whether you're coordinating engineers, care workers, or technicians.

Reduce schedulers' routine work by up to 90%, freeing time to communicate with clients and make decisions quickly
Use simple drag-and-drop functionality to easily assign jobs, visits, or call-outs to your team
Get automatic driving duration, waiting time, and route sequence calculations as you plan

Integrates with the systems you already run

Transport planning software only earns its place if it fits around your existing tools, not the other way round. Whether that's a care management system, a CRM, or an ERP platform your team relies on every day, Access MaxOptra is built to work alongside it, not replace it.

Integrate with almost any CRM, ERP, care management, or accounting system via Access MaxOptra's API
Save money on implementing new technology and training employees to use it
Connect transport planning software into the tools your team already uses daily

React in real time, wherever your team is

For when days don't go exactly to plan, Access MaxOptra's transport planning software adapts in real time as plans change. A cancelled visit, an urgent call-out, or a delay on-site shouldn't mean starting the day's schedule from scratch.

See the current location of every engineer, care worker, or technician at a glance
Add new urgent jobs, visits, or call-outs as they come in, even when routes are already underway
Find the best option to fulfil each job and maintain a high level of service

Keep everyone informed, automatically

Customers, patients, and care recipients all expect regular updates, whatever industry you're in. Access MaxOptra's transport planning software sends those updates automatically.

Send automated SMS and email ETA notifications as standard
Reduce uncertainty over arrival times and protect the professionalism of your service
Keep everyone informed without adding extra work for your team

Give your team the tools to stay connected

Transport planning software isn't just for the back office. The Access MaxOptra Mobile App keeps engineers, care workers, and technicians connected on the road.

Report job or visit status in real time to the office and receive new jobs during the day
Connect to a variety of telematics solutions to navigate traffic and find challenging locations
Report real-time GPS positioning back to the office to support efficient allocation decisions
