Dispatch software for plumbers that catches the long drive before you book it

A customer wants a water heater swap Tuesday at 10. Before you give it to the van that's free, Navigrate estimates the drive from that plumber's last stop, and flags it if it's a long haul, so you can pick a better time or another tech.

A quick walkthrough of the dispatch board and the long-drive flag.

If you run a plumbing shop with a few techs, the schedule can fall apart by mid-morning: an emergency drops in, jobs are scattered across town, and someone's driving back past a call they already passed. Navigrate is a simple dispatch board that checks the drive on every booking and flags the ones that would wreck the day.

Built for how plumbers actually run

Emergency calls wreck the plan

A burst pipe or no-water call drops in and the afternoon has to reshuffle. Reschedule or reassign jobs in a couple of clicks instead of redrawing the whiteboard.

Jobs scattered across the service area

Service calls, installs, and callbacks all over the map add up to hours of windshield time. The map shows each plumber's stops for the day, so the cross-town zigzags are easy to spot.

Catch the route-wrecker before you book it

The high-drive flag warns you when a job sits clear across town and would blow the schedule, so you can book it for a better time or a tech who's nearer.

How it works

Add your crew

Name, trade, home base, and coverage area for each tech. It takes a minute or two per tech.

Book the job

Client, address, time, and job type. As you book, Navigrate checks the drive from that tech's last stop.

Catch the long drive

If the drive runs past your limit, Navigrate flags it before anything's locked in, so you can pick a better time or a different tech.

Freeze-ups, thaws, and holiday-weekend floods are when dispatch breaks down, which is exactly when keeping each plumber in one part of town is worth real money.

Common questions

How does Navigrate estimate drive time?
From straight-line distance and a typical urban speed. It's a fast planning check to catch obviously long drives before you book, not turn-by-turn navigation. You set the limit in Settings.
How long does setup take?
Minutes. Add your technicians and start booking. There's no import yet, so you enter jobs as you book them. Most shops start with next week's schedule.
I'm not techy. Is it hard to use?
That's the point of Navigrate: it's built to set up in minutes, with an in-app assistant if you get stuck. No week-long rollout.
What does it cost?
From $19/mo, with a 14-day free trial and no card. Every feature is on every plan; plans differ only by how many technicians you add. Annual billing saves about 30%.
