Wishlist: what feature would make the biggest difference for your team?

Carla Jimenez (Staff)

Hey everyone! Wave

We're always looking for ways to make FieldPulse work better for the teams using it every day. While we have a roadmap we're excited about, we want to make sure we're building what you actually need.

So here's the question: if you could wave a magic wand and have one new feature (or big improvement to an existing one), what would it be?

We're especially interested in hearing:

  • What pain point this would solve
  • How often it comes up in your daily workflow
  • What you're doing as a workaround today

No idea is too small or too ambitious—we want to hear it all! This thread will be shared directly with our product team, so your voice will absolutely be heard.

Looking forward to learning what's on your wishlist! Pencil

    Ray, Mike — fair feedback and I want to acknowledge the gap directly. The current route optimization release focuses on distance-based efficiency with basic time window support. What you're describing (skill matching, equipment constraints, hard time windows) requires a more sophisticated constraint solver.

    Where we're headed: We're rebuilding the scheduling engine from scratch with constraint-based optimization — this was announced in our engineering blog earlier this year. Hard time windows and technician attributes (skills, certifications) are in the design spec for that release.

    Equipment/load constraints are trickier (requires inventory awareness + dimensional data we don't yet collect) but on the longer-term roadmap.

    Template saving for manual routes is a smaller lift — I'll flag that for potential near-term delivery.
