What is Route Capacity?
Route Capacities help ensure that no crew or driver is overburdened with labor or materials when scheduling on the Route Planner. This will help your team monitor quantities on routes to avoid over/under-scheduling. A few examples below:
| PHC/Turf Care: | Truck can hold 100 gallons of solution. You can use route capacity to alert you if you go over 100 gallons on a route. |
| Sod/Synthetic Turf: | Truck can only hold certain sq. ft. of turf. You can use route capacity to alert you if you go over truck's sq ft capacity on a route. |
| Labor: |
Don't want to over work your crews? Add capacities to labor line items to alert you if a route is running too long. |
