An example
Six dogs, one route
Instead of criss-crossing Colchester, the day's grooms run Lexden, Stanway, Marks Tey. New bookings slot into that route, not across town.

Fewer miles between appointments.
When you go to the customer, the gaps between appointments cost you. Booking that knows where you'll be keeps them small.
For dog groomers, mobile hairdressers, driving instructors, mobile mechanics and therapists. You go to your customers
