In their own words
RouteStacker
RouteStacker provides CRM, scheduling, routing, field, and billing tools for local service businesses, with features tailored to particular trades. Its snow removal workflow handles seasonal contracts, snowfall-triggered dispatch, crew logs, and per-event billing. A local forecast can queue visits for active clients when snowfall reaches a configured trigger depth. Crews can record snow depth, de-icer use, property hazards, and no-plow zones. The system tracks completed pushes against seasonal contract caps and warns when a client nears or passes the limit. Salt and de-icer stock can trigger reorder alerts, and recorded material use reduces inventory. Completed visits can generate same-day invoices using seasonal or per-event rates. RouteStacker describes an in-house optimizer and live dispatch board for crew assignment and appointment-aware sequencing. Customers can use its portal to pay invoices, manage billing, pause or resume service, request visits, leave reviews, and report issues. It runs on Android, iOS, and web. The listed plan costs nothing, with a 5% platform fee on processed payments plus standard card and ACH processing fees; it has no monthly, per-seat, or setup fees.
