Route optimization and scheduling

Both engines optimize routes. The architectural difference is where the routing engine sits in the operating stack.

WorkWave RouteManager’s routing

WorkWave RouteManager is tightly coupled to the WorkWave stack: PestPac, FieldRoutes, ServMan, Slingshot. For an operator who has already standardized on WorkWave (or is comfortable doing so end-to-end), that tight coupling is a feature, not a bug. The routing engine is mature, North American pest and lawn services have used it for years, and the integration with PestPac/FieldRoutes is the smoothest path inside that ecosystem.

eLogii’s routing

eLogii’s optimization engine is exposed across five distinct modes: a single data set, one or more specific dates, existing routes (re-optimization), a date range, and recurring patterns with varying intervals. Optimization considers skills, capabilities, vehicle capacity, SLA windows, business rules and time constraints simultaneously, with configurable objectives.

For pest control in particular, eLogii models recurring cadences natively via routes, task template groups and route template groups. Quarterly residential treatments, monthly commercial accounts, weekly compliance visits and reactive callouts can sit in the same plan as dedicated entities. This is the engine Greenix, Vergo and many more pest and lawn operators run their nationwide work on.

Dynamic re-optimization

WorkWave RouteManager re-plans within its routing scope. eLogii re-optimizes per your configured rules. For example, "reroute a no-access visit into the nearest technician with the right pest license, but don’t move any quarterly accounts in a customer-confirmed window for the next 90 minutes." At enterprise scale, this rule-based re-optimization is the difference between planners chasing exceptions one at a time and planners handling them by rule.

FSM-independence: the integration story

WorkWave RouteManager is designed to sit inside WorkWave’s stack. If you want one vendor end-to-end for pest control or lawn services, that’s a real strength, and PestPac and FieldRoutes are mature, capable FSMs.

eLogii is FSM-independent by design. It runs alongside whichever FSM, ERP or CRM you already use. That includes:

• FieldRoutes. eLogii has an integration with FieldRoutes, so operators can keep FieldRoutes as the FSM and add eLogii's routing engine alongside it.
• Simpro, Samsara, and ServiceTitan, Salesforce Field Service, ServiceMax, ServiceNow, MS Dynamics 365 Field Service, Joblogic, Jobber, Housecall Pro and more via the REST API.
• SAP, Oracle NetSuite, MS Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage, Infor and other ERPs via the eLogii REST API.

The practical implication: an operator running PestPac (WorkWave) can keep PestPac and swap just the routing engine to eLogii. An operator running FieldRoutes (ServiceTitan) can keep FieldRoutes and add eLogii alongside it. Same for ServiceTitan, Joblogic, or any other FSM.

Customer-facing scheduling for pest and lawn

Quarterly residential treatments, monthly commercial accounts, reactive callouts and one-off urgent jobs all hit the same calendar. eLogii owns the customer-facing scheduling that load comes through.

• Slot booking co-pilot. Customers booking a treatment only see slots that fit a technician's existing route and license. Cuts failed visits by 35%.
• B2B portal for commercial accounts. National retail chains, food-service groups and healthcare networks get a scoped login: view upcoming treatments, pull treatment records and compliance docs, reschedule within configurable rules, bulk-import sites by CSV. Customer-driven reschedules handle around 70% of the volume.
• Multi-brand tracking. Groups running multiple brands (or services under acquired-brand names) get one dispatch desk and separate tracking experiences per brand.
• Context-aware notifications. Different SMS templates by treatment type, customer segment and language. A commercial site gets a different message than a residential one. A callback-triggered visit gets a different follow-up than a routine treatment.
• Embedded tracking content. Push safety briefings (e.g. evacuation guidance for fogging treatments), treatment instructions, access codes, NPS surveys or regulatory documentation directly onto the tracking page.

Crocus (UK gardening services) cut planning time 75%, doubled revenue and lifted productivity 65% on eLogii. Greenix, Vergo and the wider pest customer base on eLogii see the same shift in where coordinator time goes.

Running eLogii alongside your FSM, ERP and telematics

Enterprise operations at scale rarely run on a single packaged product. The common shape is a stack: an FSM for field execution and paperwork (ServiceTitan, FieldRoutes, Simpro, Joblogic, Salesforce FS, MS D365 FS), an ERP for finance, inventory and customer master data (SAP, NetSuite, MS Dynamics 365 BC, Sage, Acumatica), telematics for the vehicles (Samsara, Geotab, TomTom), and a routing layer on top.

eLogii is built for that shape. It plugs into your existing FSM and ERP as the advanced optimization layer, leaving field execution and paperwork in the FSM where your drivers and technicians already work day to day. The technician opens the FSM’s field app on site; eLogii plans the route they take to get there, surfaces the live ETAs, picks up GPS, and pushes completion back into the FSM.

• 50+ REST endpoints across Tasks, Routes, Drivers, Vehicles, Depots, Zones, Schedules and Optimization, designed for clean integration into a wider stack.
• Full-parity sandbox at api-sandbox.elogii.com so integration work can run in parallel with the existing FSM/ERP rollout.
• Webhooks with live driver GPS and ETA stream push real-time state back to your FSM, dispatcher view or customer-facing app.
• Bulk operations. POST /tasks/createOrUpdateMany handles hundreds of tasks per call, built for high-volume ingest from any FSM or ERP.
• FSM and ERP independent. Customers running FieldRoutes, Simpro, Salesforce FS or MS D365 FS use eLogii for advanced optimization alongside the FSM they already chose.

API, integrations and developer experience

WorkWave’s API surface is solid for customers integrating inside their ecosystem. eLogii’s API is built for FSM-independent integration.

Where eLogii’s API differentiates

• 50+ REST endpoints across Tasks, Routes, Drivers, Vehicles, Depots, Customers, Zones, Forms, Schedules and Optimization. Full reference.
• Bulk operations. Endpoints like POST /tasks/createOrUpdateMany handle hundreds of tasks per call, built for high-volume ingest from any FSM or ERP.
• Optimization callable via the API, across 5 distinct modes, with planner controls: lock specific routes, manually reorder stops.
• 7 webhook event types, including Driver/Task Tracking Update with live GPS stream and Route ETAs Update. No polling, no cron jobs, no stale data.
• Sandbox environment with full API parity at api-sandbox.elogii.com.
• Custom fields end-to-end through driver app, webhooks and reporting, regardless of which FSM owns the master record.
• FSM-agnostic via REST API for PestPac, FieldRoutes, ServiceTitan, Salesforce Field Service, ServiceMax, ServiceNow, Joblogic, Jobber, Housecall Pro and others, plus full ERP/CRM coverage (SAP, NetSuite, MS Dynamics 365, Sage, Acumatica, IFS, Infor).

WorkWave RouteManager API

• REST API for the RouteManager routing engine; richer integration via PestPac and ServMan.
• Optimized for customers staying within the WorkWave stack.
• Sandbox / dev-environment story varies by product line; consult WorkWave directly.

Pricing

WorkWave RouteManager pricing is contact-sales. Public pricing is not published; commercial conversations are typically per-seat with annual contracts, scoped per customer.

eLogii pricing starts from $3,000/month and is a platform fee, operationally banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and the modules required. Each band includes a quota; cost steps up when the operation crosses a band, not when you add an individual seat. Customers typically report 3–4× return on investment within 6 months.

What this means at your scale

• For buyers who want scoped, predictable pricing without a long procurement cycle, eLogii is more transparent than WorkWave’s contact-sales-only model.
• For pest or lawn services operators already on PestPac (WorkWave) or FieldRoutes (ServiceTitan), the question isn’t "do I rip out my FSM?" It’s "do I want to swap to eLogii’s routing engine alongside the FSM I already have?" eLogii integrates with both.
• For enterprise pest and lawn operators like Greenix, Vergo and others on eLogii, both vendors are credible. The decision turns on routing depth, FSM-independence and pricing transparency.

When to pick each platform

Switching from WorkWave RouteManager to eLogii

Two migration paths depending on whether you’re also moving off PestPac/FieldRoutes or keeping the FSM.

Frequently asked questions

Is eLogii an alternative to WorkWave RouteManager?

Yes. eLogii and WorkWave RouteManager both serve pest control, lawn care, distribution and field services with route optimization at the core. WorkWave RouteManager sits inside the broader WorkWave ecosystem (PestPac, FieldRoutes, ServMan), and is per-seat priced. eLogii is the routing and field-execution platform for field operations independent of which FSM you run, with a deeper data model (recurring template groups, multi-depot, skills-based assignment) and platform-fee pricing. Pest customers on eLogii include Greenix (#11 on the PCT 100 in 2026), Vergo Pest Management (400 technicians, part of the Tyro Group) and many others.

What’s the main difference between eLogii and WorkWave RouteManager?

WorkWave RouteManager is the routing product inside the WorkWave software empire, which also includes PestPac, ServMan and Slingshot. Its strength is tight integration with that ecosystem, plus North American pest/lawn services depth. eLogii is FSM-independent: it runs alongside whichever FSM, ERP or CRM you already use (eLogii has an integration with FieldRoutes), with native recurring jobs as dedicated entities, multi-depot and multi-country routing, and a 50+-endpoint API.

How does pricing compare?

WorkWave RouteManager pricing is contact-sales and typically structured per-seat in annual contracts; specific numbers are not publicly published. eLogii is a platform fee, operationally banded by field staff, drivers, jobs and modules, starting from $3,000 per month. For operations that want scoped, predictable pricing without a long procurement cycle, eLogii is more transparent. At enterprise scale, both vendors are in the conversation and the decision turns on FSM-independence and operational fit, not headline price.

Can eLogii replace WorkWave RouteManager?

Yes, including for pest control and lawn services where WorkWave is strongest. eLogii covers the core routing surface (route optimization, driver app, real-time tracking, POD, customer notifications, branded tracking pages, REST API, webhooks) and adds dynamic scheduling, multi-day and recurring optimization, skills-based assignment, multi-depot routing and full data export. eLogii also has an integration with FieldRoutes for customers who want to keep their FSM and only switch the routing engine. Most teams transition in 3 to 5 weeks.

Which is better for pest control, eLogii or WorkWave?

Both are credible. WorkWave's pest stack (PestPac + RouteManager, plus ServMan) is one of the deepest in North America and is the right call if you want to standardize on a single vendor end-to-end. eLogii is the right call when the routing engine itself is the bottleneck: operations like Greenix (#11 PCT 100 2026), Vergo (400 technicians, Tyro Group) and many more chose eLogii for native recurring template groups, multi-depot routing and a 50+-endpoint REST API that integrates with whichever office system the business runs.

Does WorkWave RouteManager have native digital forms?

WorkWave’s broader stack (PestPac, FieldRoutes) has strong industry-specific forms for pest, lawn and service work. WorkWave RouteManager itself is routing-focused; forms generally live in the FSM. eLogii exposes Forms and Form Submissions as dedicated API entities, so unlimited custom forms (risk assessments, inspection checklists, compliance paperwork, treatment records, conditional service steps) can be designed in the eLogii dashboard and used regardless of which FSM you run.
