Route optimization software
The day plots on a map with numbered stops and the route drawn from live road data. You get drive time and distance for every leg, so you know whether one more job fits before you promise it.
A short tour of the screens this page describes. It is filmed with our demo pest control company, and every trade runs on the same screens.

“We run every customer conversation through Smarfle. Texts, emails and reminders are in one place, our customers love paying with Apple Pay, and when we are busy or closed the text bot answers new leads for us.”
The drive-time tax
Field service teams waste hours every week driving inefficient routes between job sites.
Manual Address Entry Causes Errors
Typing addresses by hand produces typos, missing apartment numbers, and incorrect ZIP codes. A technician arrives at the wrong location, wastes 30 minutes, and the client calls asking where they are.
No Visibility into Daily Job Locations
Dispatchers assign jobs based on time slots without considering geography. Two technicians drive past each other's job sites because nobody mapped the routes before the day started.
Switching Between CRM and Navigation Apps
Technicians copy addresses from the CRM, paste them into Google Maps, and manually add each stop. For a 6-job day, that process takes 10 minutes just in setup, and any schedule change means starting over.
How a multi-stop day gets built
- 1
Enter Addresses with Autocomplete
Start typing any address and Google Places API suggests matches in real time. Select a suggestion and the street, city, state, and ZIP fields auto-populate. Works on client, work order, and branch address forms.
- 2
View Jobs on the Interactive Map
The technician dashboard displays all assigned jobs as pins on a Google Map. Pin colors indicate status: blue for scheduled, yellow for in progress, green for completed, and red for high priority.
- 3
Click Pins for Job Details
Clicking any pin opens an info window showing the client name, service type, scheduled time, and a Navigate link. Technicians get all the context they need without leaving the map view.

Launch Multi-Stop Navigation
Click the Navigate Route button to open Google Maps with all scheduled jobs as waypoints in optimized order. Directions account for real-time traffic, road closures, and the fastest sequence.
What the optimizer handles
Google Places Address Autocomplete
Integrated into the shared AddressFields component used across all forms. Typing three characters triggers suggestions from the Google Places API with structured address parsing into individual fields.
Status-Colored Map Pins
Each work order appears as a colored pin on the map. Blue represents scheduled jobs, yellow shows in-progress work, green marks completed jobs, and red highlights high-priority items. The visual coding helps technicians prioritize at a glance.
Info Window with Quick Actions
Clicking a map pin shows the client name, address, service description, scheduled time, and priority level. A direct Navigate link opens turn-by-turn directions to that specific location.
Multi-Stop Route Generation
The Navigate Route button assembles all scheduled job addresses into a Google Maps directions URL with multiple waypoints. Technicians get an optimized driving route for their entire day.
Dispatch Overview for Managers
Managers and owners see all technicians' jobs on a single map, enabling smarter assignment decisions. Spot clustering opportunities where nearby jobs can be grouped for the same technician.
Real-Time Traffic Awareness
Google Maps multi-stop directions factor in current traffic conditions, construction zones, and road closures. Route timing adjusts dynamically so estimated arrival times stay accurate.
