Scheduling and routes

Route optimization built for pet waste removal, not deliveries

A scooping route lives or dies on drive time. HoundStack plans recurring visits, prices by zone, and reorders a full day of stops in one click using real drive time math, then hands turn by turn directions to the truck.

Watch a day get shorter

This is the shape of the dispatch board: stops in optimized order, drive time between them, and an ETA for every yard. The board is drag and drop, so moving a stop between techs takes one gesture.

  • ETAs clients can hold you to. Drive times come from real road data, so the 9:40 stop happens at 9:40.
  • Zones keep the math honest. Postal prefix zones stop a new signup from dragging a route 20 minutes off pattern.

Everything in scheduling and dispatch

Recurring visits that match how clients actually buy

Weekly, biweekly, or a custom cadence, with preferred weekdays per client. Set it once and the schedule fills itself forward.

Blackout dates with automatic bump forward

Mark a holiday or a day off and every affected visit moves to the next valid day on its own. No hand rescheduling forty stops.

Zone based pricing and routing by postal prefix

Group your service area into zones, price each one for its drive density, and keep routes from sprawling across town.

Multi tech dispatch board

Every tech, every stop, one board. Drag a visit from one tech to another and the day rebalances.

One click route optimization

Real drive time and ETA math, not straight line guesses. Reorder a full day in one click and hand the result straight to the truck.

Turn by turn handoff to Google Maps

Techs tap a stop and Google Maps opens with the destination loaded. No copying addresses.

Weather aware automatic rescheduling

When a storm is coming, affected visits reschedule automatically under your skip rules instead of piling into a phone triage morning.

Property boundaries you draw, not guess

An address pin tells a tech where the house is. It does not say the client only pays for the back yard, or that the side strip past the gate is included. In HoundStack you sketch the actual service boundary on a map, per property, and that drawing rides along on the stop card.

  • The quote matches the yard. Pricing conversations get simpler when both sides are looking at the same drawn area.
  • Substitute techs service the right area. The boundary answers "which part of this lot" before anyone texts the office.
