The challenge
HVAC technicians make 8–14 stops per day in personal or company vans. Manual mileage logs inflate 10–15%; summer peak season multiplies payroll leakage.
Scootee workflow for HVAC
1. Tech starts shift on first job geofence
2. GPS segments drive between residential/commercial sites
3. Parts receipts captured per job → expense linked to session
4. End shift — road-distance × CPM rate
5. Service manager approves; payroll export
Geofence tips
- Tight radius on suburban homes (30–50m)
- Polygon on commercial rooftops / campuses
- Flag "zero dwell" stops for dispatcher review
ROI
50-tech shop saving 12% on $180k annual mileage ≈ $21,600 + 30 hr/month accounts time.
