Mobile resource scheduling and routing
Connect working days, unavailable periods and location demand to each planning cycle.
Mobile workforce route planning
Mobile workforce route planning connects field demand to the people, crews, vehicles and working time available to serve it. Flowtlas combines resource scheduling and routing with location data, service territories, capacity, availability and daily or overnight planning modes.
The operational problem
A field resource may have enough time for several visits but still lose the day to poor geographic assignment. The nearest person, crew or vehicle may be unavailable or belong to another service territory. Remote work may not fit a daily return route at all.
Flowtlas helps operations teams prepare field work as one route and scheduling problem. Planners choose the visits and available resources, apply workload and territory rules, then generate routes for review. This creates a practical planning foundation without claiming to replace every dispatch, skill or appointment system.

Operational benefits
In practice
A mobile workforce serves customer locations across several regions. Resource availability changes each week and remote work requires occasional overnight travel.
The planner selects the current field demand, available resources and territories, sets working hours and daily limits, then creates daily and multi-day routes. Flowtlas provides the route allocation; the dispatcher confirms skills and appointments before work is assigned.
Questions
It is the process of assigning geographically distributed field work to mobile resources while considering travel, availability, workload and operational territories.
No. Route planning prepares assignments and travel structure. Dispatch management may also cover live status, skills, appointments and communication.
Yes. Flowtlas supports multi-day planning where a route can continue on the next working day.
