EMPOWERING THE COMMERCIAL CLEANING INDUSTRY WITH TECHNOLOGY
CHICAGO, IL, USA — OCTOBER 29, 2018 — Route, a business management platform for the building services industry, announced today the beta release of their new product at the 2018 ISSA Show North America.
Route has gained strong momentum over the past year. Starting as an idea in a Chicago-based Pitch Contest hosted by Chicago’s 1871, the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the National Minority Supplier Development Council, and Capital One, the team proceeded to win the contest and begin work on building out the platform they dreamed up.
Route’s capabilities at launch will include the following features:
- Walkthrough Builder™: Gather dimensions, floor type, hot points and special notes by room, area, or task on site with actual images of the client’s space
- Team Scheduling: Match jobs to a team member's profile and schedule with an intuitive, efficient interface
- Workflow Management: A digital checklist containing all of the account specific work by room, area or task right in to the hands of your technicians
- Technician Profiles: Put a face to hard work and provide a place to showcase the unique talents and accomplishments of employees.
Targeting an official release in early 2019, the Route team has begun seeking out interested partners for their Early Access Program. The Program will last about 3 months and is open to all attendees of the ISSA Show, as well as a limited number of outside participants. Throughout the Program, Route will implement new features and request feedback from all participants on their experience using the feature.
