Less drive time, more billable hours

The fastest order for the day's service calls.

Bodha takes the jobs your team is already scheduled for and sequences them into the fastest route, around appointment windows, technician hours, and real road drive times, so each tech spends more of the day on the job and less of it driving.

Optimize each technician's day of jobs in seconds

Order calls by time window, priority, and drive time

Cut windshield time between service calls and maintenance visits

Re-optimize when an emergency call drops into the schedule

Every visit, documented at the door

Photos, signatures, and notes, captured offline.

Each service call is logged with photos, a signature, and the technician's notes, captured offline so a job in a basement or a mechanical room with no signal still records cleanly and syncs later.

Photo and signature capture at the job

Notes on what was done and what to check next visit

Works offline, syncs when signal returns

A clear record tied to the customer for every visit

"Where's the technician?" answers itself

Customers track the visit, on your brand.

Bodha sends branded text and email updates when a job is scheduled, when the technician is on the way, and when it's done, each with a live tracking link, so customers stay informed without calling your office for an ETA.

Automatic updates at scheduled, en route, and completed

A branded tracking page with the technician's arrival window

Fewer inbound "what time?" calls tying up the office

Live technician location for the dispatcher

Keep maintenance agreements on schedule

Routing and a customer record in one place.

Set a cadence per maintenance agreement, and Bodha shows who's due and drops them onto an optimized route, with equipment and access notes on the tech's app.

Recurring maintenance plans on monthly, quarterly, or custom cadences

A schedule view that shows which agreements are due

Customer profiles with access notes, equipment notes, and history

Adherence reports that flag any maintenance visit slipping

Why HVAC and plumbing teams add Bodha

Bodha does one thing well: it gets your technicians between jobs faster and keeps customers informed. It’s the routing layer many scheduling tools are weak on, and it works alongside what you already run, without replacing your whole back office.

Routing & scheduling

Real optimization that orders the day by drive time, not a basic map view.

Works with your FSM

Add Bodha as the routing and customer-update layer beside your existing scheduler, no rip-and-replace.

Fast and affordable

Import your jobs and you're optimizing the same day, at a price that suits a small or growing shop.

Job details in the field

Access and equipment notes ride to the technician's app on every stop.

Fewer interruptions

Automatic arrival updates and a tracking page cut the "are you coming?" calls.

Maintenance on track

Recurring agreements turn into routed visits, so service contracts don't slip.

Our Mission: Make Every Delivery Count

Bodha was built to fix the chaos dispatch teams deal with every day. Manual spreadsheets, constant driver calls, no visibility into delivery status, and customers asking for updates.

So we built what last-mile teams actually need. We help delivery businesses of all sizes, from solo drivers to fleets managing dozens of vehicles, plan better routes, dispatch faster, and keep customers informed.

The goal is simple. Make delivery operations faster, leaner, and more profitable

Loved by delivery teams

Join thousands of businesses growing with Bodha.

The route adjusts on its own when things change. If a big order comes in late or the kitchen is running behind, Bodha reshuffles everything automatically. I don't have to ring the driver or manually move deliveries around. Customer notifications go out without anyone doing anything extra. Planning time has dropped a lot and each driver is getting through twice the drops they used to.


Johnathan D FreshBite Catering

The automated texts are what made the biggest difference for us. Customers get a message in the morning telling them roughly when the truck is coming, and the second the driver marks the pickup done they get a confirmation with a photo and timestamp. Before this we had no way to prove a pickup happened if a customer disputed it. Now it's all right there. Our support calls dropped massively and the drivers don't have to explain themselves to dispatch anymore either.

Marcus V Grubswift Waste Collection

Our lads were carrying two devices to every single drop, 1st phone for the route and a separate scanner for the parcels. I asked Bodha if they could build the scanning straight into the app. Thought they'd say it's on a waiting list. Instead they had it done in a few weeks for us. Drivers just use the phone camera now, scan the parcel, done. We got rid of the old scanner hardware altogether which saved us a fair bit on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about HVAC Route Planner.

Route optimization for HVAC and plumbing technicians is the process of ordering each tech's daily jobs into the fastest route, factoring in appointment windows, working hours, and drive time. It cuts windshield time between service calls, so technicians spend more of the day on billable work and less of it driving.

No. Bodha is a route optimization and customer-update layer that works alongside your existing scheduling or dispatch software, not a replacement for it. If your FSM books the jobs but the routing is weak, Bodha optimizes the drive, tracks technicians, updates customers, and keeps recurring maintenance on schedule.

Yes. Bodha runs recurring maintenance on monthly, quarterly, or custom cadences and shows which agreements are due, then drops those visits onto an optimized route. Adherence reports flag any maintenance visit slipping past its date.

Yes. Bodha optimizes each technician's day of jobs around time windows, hours, and drive time, ordering the calls so the team covers more with less driving. It re-optimizes when an emergency job drops into the schedule.

No. Bodha optimizes the route and balances the day, but it doesn't match jobs to a technician's specific skill or certification. Teams that need skill-based dispatch usually handle that in their scheduling software, and Bodha optimizes the route around the assignments they make.

Yes. Bodha sends automatic branded text and email updates when a job is scheduled, when the technician is en route, and when it's complete, each with a live tracking link, which cuts the "what time is the tech coming?" calls to your office.

Yes. Each customer profile holds access notes, equipment notes, and job details, and they ride to the technician's app on the stop card, so the tech arrives prepared without digging through texts.

Yes. Bodha suits small and growing HVAC and plumbing shops. It's affordable, sets up in under an hour, and adds real route optimization and customer updates alongside whatever scheduler you already use.

Most teams are set up within an hour. You import your jobs and customers, set any recurring maintenance, optimize the first routes, and dispatch to technicians the same day.
