Multi-Day Job Sequencing for Routing Across Multiple Days

What this means for distribution businesses

Building materials distributors running phased site deliveries can sequence concrete, steel, and finishing materials across the build schedule with the Same Assignee Key keeping the same driver on every visit. Furniture retailers delivering a kitchen in stages (units Monday, worktops Wednesday, appliances Friday) get crew continuity so the team knows the site layout and access by day two. For courier operations handling delivery-then-return flows, sequencing links the outbound drop with the collection visit across days.

What this means for field service businesses

A solar installation spanning three days needs the same crew returning each morning with full context of what was done the day before. Sequence keys link related tasks in order, and the Same Assignee Key locks driver assignment across all visits. HVAC companies running two-phase installations can set a minimum gap of 2 working days between first-fix pipework and boiler commissioning, and the system counts working days not calendar days so weekends are skipped automatically. Electrical contractors handling multi-day rewiring projects can use synchronization keys to coordinate two-person crews with an arrival tolerance window. For property maintenance companies managing phased renovation work, allowed weekday constraints ensure tasks only land on days when site access is available.

How it works

• Group tasks with a Sequence Key and set execution order with Sequence Index (starting from 0)
• Use Same Assignee Key to lock the same driver or crew across all visits in a sequence
• Set minimum and maximum day gaps between visits, counted in working days not calendar days
• Auto-split long tasks by duration threshold, distributing across days, drivers, or both
• Coordinate multi-person jobs with synchronization keys and configurable arrival tolerance
