Prevent it upfront, don't fix it afterwards
Schedulinq only offers customers times that fit the route. So an inefficient day never comes about, and nobody has to straighten it out afterwards.
The story behind Schedulinq
I'm Thijs Meulenbelt, founder of Schedulinq. Schedulinq came out of my own frustration. I ran a successful installation business with engineers out on the road, but it was eating up more and more of my planning time. How do you make sure three engineers get the most out of their day without crisscrossing the region? Every week it got more complicated.
My days got busy. So did my evenings. Phone calls, leaving voicemails, getting called back at the worst possible moment. Spreadsheets full of ticks and last-minute changes. Customers booking times that split my day in two. It wasn't a craft anymore. It was admin.
I looked at the existing field service packages. They were too expensive, or they lacked the features I needed. And the ones that could plan smartly around routes didn't let customers book for themselves. Yet that was exactly what I was after: customers booking an appointment themselves, but only at times that fit that day's route.
Until I realised: this solution isn't going to exist unless I build it myself. As it happens, I'm also a software developer. In my spare hours I built a first version of Schedulinq, one with geographic awareness baked in from the very first line of code. Not as a feature, but as the foundation.
Today I've sold my stake in the installation business to focus entirely on Schedulinq. Schedulinq wasn't dreamed up in a boardroom, but in a van and at a kitchen table. Built by an entrepreneur, for service businesses. Because it genuinely solves something: not just for my engineers back then, but for every business with people on the road.
Our mission
Give service businesses back the time that now disappears into calling, confirming and rescheduling, so the planner handles the exceptions and the rest runs by itself. Three things guide everything we build.
The planner stays in control
Schedulinq does the phone work and picks the times that fit, but the planner has the final say. Booking, blocking and moving appointments by hand is always possible; Schedulinq schedules around it.
Built from practice
Schedulinq grew out of an installation business with engineers on the road. What we build has to work in a real working week, with real customers and real drives.
