- My Visits
Import or drag and drop your file of clients to be visited. This can be done from an existing template. These clients will have their locations stored as geographic data and will be ready to be optimized.
- Optimization and Results
The optimization engine will calculate the best solution and present results that can be exported to various formats.
Mobile App
The TourSolver Cloud has an app available on Google Play.
This app allows field personnel to access their activity planning, information about each client, declare the status of the visit (done or not done – in addition to the default state of “to do”), and the best route to reach the next client (external apps like Google Maps, Waze, Here…).
In addition, in the Browser Version, the supervisor can access the status of declared visits (to do, done, or not done).
