Using Avro: Getting the Most from Optimize

Hitting Optimize gives you a drive-time-efficient route. But the optimizer knows more about your day than distances, and the difference between a good route and a great one is feeding it that context.

Due dates drive selection

Recurring tasks carry frequencies, so Avro knows what's due, what's coming due, and what's slipping overdue. Overdue work is weighted forward — you can see it projected on future days too, so Thursday's route already accounts for what Tuesday's rain pushed back.

Priorities and pinned stops

Mark a task priority and it gets surfaced across the map, the jobs list, and routing. Pin a stop when reality outranks efficiency — the customer who must be first, the dump run that has to end the day. The optimizer plans around your pins instead of fighting them.

Respect the clock, not just the map

Per-stop service times make the route honest. A 14-stop day of 20-minute lawns is very different from 14 one-hour cleanups, and arrival estimates only mean something when service length is real. Add delay to a route when the day starts late and the whole plan shifts with it.

Re-run it when the day changes

Optimization runs in the background — while it's working, routing actions lock so two people can't fight over the schedule. Truck broke down? Remove the route, spread the stops, re-optimize. Mid-storm re-planning takes minutes, and crews see the new order immediately.
