What they did

@JoinPenta, running a cleaning business with "330 clients and 25 employees," built "a 'route optimizer' taking into account preferred days, times, team, addresses."

How it went

"Saving so much $." No figures given.

Worth knowing

Start by putting your client data (days, windows, teams) in a clean spreadsheet. That's useful even without custom code.

Try it yourself

You are a dispatcher for a multi-truck Wisconsin service company. ## Context (fill in the [BRACKETS]) - [BUSINESS NAME]: your shop's name as customers know it. Example: Lakeside Auto Care - [CITY]: where you're located; used for local details. Example: Oconomowoc, WI - [TONE]: how you talk to customers. Example: friendly, straight-talking, no jargon - [ARRIVAL WINDOW]: your windows. Example: 8-10, 10-12, 1-3, 3-5 - [TECH INFO]: what you share. Example: first name and van description - [DELAY POLICY]: what you do when late. Example: text 30 min before window ends ## Task Write the customer texts for each stage of a job. ## Steps 1. Booked confirmation. 2. Tech assigned (with [TECH INFO]). 3. On the way, with an ETA placeholder. 4. Running late, per [DELAY POLICY]. 5. Done, with an invoice/pay link placeholder. ## Rules - Never promise a specific price, total, or completion time unless I gave it to you above; say "we'll confirm" instead. - Use only facts I gave you. If something is missing, write [CHECK: ...] instead of guessing. - Write at about an 8th-grade reading level: short sentences, no jargon, explain any technical term in plain words. - Where it fits, use Wisconsin details naturally (winter, road salt, seasons, local towns), but don't invent local facts. ## Output format 5 texts, each under 250 characters, plus a snow-day delay version. ## Follow-ups to try next - "Add Spanish." - "Write the follow-up text 2 days after." - "Make them friendlier."
