ROUND SPREAD PLANNING
Improve your schedule adherence

REDUCE LABOR WASTE AND SCHEDULING INEFFICIENCY

Many companies are required to provide a service that includes a commitment to making planned visits to a large number of sites scattered over large geographical areas at a certain frequency. This is particularly relevant in sectors such as food safety planning, pest control, planned maintenance and in other industries that require repeat inspections according to international regulations or standards.

Companies have to meet a very high level of service while undertaking visits according to different business rules, including: Uniform distribution of visits in different geographical sites in relation to shifts (morning/afternoon/evening, weekday/weekend) and with the required skills set & level of training.
