RUTAMore profit. Less office.

Leaving Jobber? Everyone gets the top tier.

Route optimization, two-way texting, campaigns and automatic card charges sit on Jobber’s higher plans or cost extra. On Ruta, every company gets every tool, and every crew member gets the same app.

“Can I prove we were there?”

Every visit comes back with the trail and the photos.

Each crew member’s trail on the property and every photo, pinned where it was taken, in your office before the customer asks. Jobber records a location when someone clocks in or out.

Office appA visit, back on your desk

A finished visit in the office: Alex's and Carlos's trails on the property map, the photos pinned where they were taken, and the replay bar

“Will my crew actually use it?”

A crew app they’ll want to open.

The day in order, the gate code before the gate, photos that wait for signal. In English or Spanish, on the phone they already carry, for every crew member at no extra charge.

Today on the crew app: four of seven stops done, the route on the map, the next stop and a note to read before it

“Can they run the route without picking up the phone?”

Ruta Crew is on CarPlay.

The next stop on the truck’s screen, directions in Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze, and Start with one tap. Plow routes first.

“Will my customers like it?”

A customer profile with your name on it.

Your logo, your service menu, their visits and photos. Customers ask for a rate, accept it and add a card without calling the office.

The customer profile: the company's logo, a greeting, the customer's services and the service menu

“Do I have to upgrade to text my customers?”

Texting and campaigns are on the plan.

Two-way texting in one inbox, and text and email campaigns to the customers you pick. On Jobber, texting starts at Grow and campaigns are a paid add-on.

“Can I raise prices without retyping every customer?”

Every price, changed in one go.

Measure a property once, by hand or by tracing it, and per-square-foot prices follow its size. When the season turns, preview the new price for every customer, round them to a clean ending, and release them when you’re ready.

“Can I run it from the truck?”

The office is in your pocket.

Who’s clocked in, what needs review, payment issues and rate requests, on the owner’s phone. Send a rate from the driveway.

Ruta and Jobber, side by side.

What you run on every day is in both. The difference is what it takes to get the rest.

What comes over from your Jobber export.

Drop in the file as it is. We walk the import with you.

  • Customers and their propertiesNames, contacts and every address, read straight from the file.
  • Services and each rateEach customer’s rate comes over as it is. A missing one stays blank for you to set.
  • Crews, when your file lists themEach crew comes over with the services it runs. You add the people.

You check everything before it’s saved. Nobody gets a text while it imports.

Switching, quickly.

Can I bring my Jobber export as it is?

Yes. A spreadsheet, a PDF, even a photo of a list. Ruta reads it and builds your customers, services and crews for you to check.

Do you charge per user?

No. One price for the whole company, as low as $150 a month. Every crew member, every customer.

Do my crews need new hardware?

No. The crew app runs on the phone they already carry.

Can my crew use it in Spanish?

Yes. The app follows the phone’s language. Instructions and messages are translated both ways.

Do my customers’ cards come over?

No. Cards stay with the processor that holds them. Customers add theirs from their customer profile.

Can we switch mid-season?

Yes. We walk the import with you, and nothing is saved until you’ve checked it.

Every tool, for every crew. One price for the whole company.
