Drive-Time Booking
Stop scheduling estimates across town from each other
Most calendars will happily book a 9:00 across town from your 8:30. Field Stash won't. It knows the drive time between every appointment and only offers slots you can actually make, so you see more homeowners and spend less of the day in the truck.
Drive-time-aware slots
Auto confirmations + reminders
Two-way Google Calendar sync
Manual override anytime
The difference
The old way
Back-to-back estimates booked 40 minutes apart across town
Two hours of every estimate day lost to windshield time
You eyeball a map every time you offer a time slot
No-shows because reminders never went out
With Field Stash
The calendar only offers slots the drive time actually allows
Appointments cluster by area so the day flows
Confirmation and reminder texts go out on their own
You can still drop a custom slot when you need to
What it does
Built in, not billed extra
Slots that respect the drive
When a homeowner asks for a time, Field Stash checks the travel time from the appointments already on the calendar and only surfaces openings that leave room to get there. No more impossible back-to-backs.
A day that clusters itself
Because booking is travel-aware, estimates naturally group by area instead of scattering across the map. More appointments fit in the same eight hours.
Confirmations without lifting a finger
Every booked estimate triggers an automatic confirmation, then a reminder before the appointment - so fewer homeowners forget and fewer slots get wasted.
Two-way Google Calendar sync
What's on Field Stash is on your Google Calendar and vice versa, with real blocking - so the system never double-books over something you added elsewhere.
You stay in control
The routing is a helper, not a cage. Drop a custom slot, block a morning, or override a suggestion whenever the day calls for it.
Feeds the whole pipeline
A booked estimate is already a tracked opportunity with the address and contact attached, ready for the walkthrough - no re-entry between the phone and the calendar.
How it works
How a slot gets offered
A homeowner needs a time
From a call, a text, or a web form, the request lands with the property address attached.
Field Stash checks the drives
It compares travel time against the appointments already booked that day and filters out slots you couldn't reach in time.
They pick, it confirms
The homeowner takes a real opening, the estimate hits the calendar, and the confirmation text goes out automatically.
The one thing none of the others do
Plenty of contractor tools have a calendar, and a few optimize crew routes after the sale. But booking estimates against real drive-time availability is genuinely uncontested - none of the CRMs painters usually compare do it. It is the difference between a full, sane day and a schedule that looks full but burns half its hours driving.
