Field Services
Route planning for technicians, maintenance crews, and service appointments.
Challenges
Field service routing involves complex constraints beyond simple point-to-point navigation.
Skill matching
Different jobs require different skills and certifications. The right technician must be assigned to the right job.
Variable job duration
Service appointments range from 15 minutes to several hours, making schedule optimization complex.
Emergency dispatching
Urgent service calls must be inserted into existing schedules without disrupting confirmed appointments.
Parts and equipment
Technicians need the right parts on their vehicle. Routes must account for depot stops and equipment swaps.
