Hi everyone, I’m exploring AI-driven routing/field service software/tool that service companies use to optimize scheduling, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. With the increasing adoption of AI in field operations, I’d love to hear from those who have experience with top-tier routing software/tool that leverages AI for dynamic route optimization. Specifically, I’m curious about: • Which AI-powered solutions stand out in the industry? • How do they compare in terms of features, ease of integration, and ROI? • Any hidden gems that aren’t widely known but deliver great results? I would love to hear any thoughts, feedback, or recommendations!

The current AI demonstrations we see from OpenAI, Google and others are around text or image prediction (basically these are extremely large prediction machines - much larger than our mind can comprehend). There probably is research around other type of big data processing, but this so expensive that only companies running R&D budgets of hundreds of millions can consider.
When evaluating a software that has been on the market for 5 to 10 year already, which I assume is the case for you, the most AI they can use is some basic integration with the APIs from the main providers. Chances for them to own internal AI developed solutions are close to zero. Instead focus on the fundamentals:
- customer retention, growth opportunities
- employee retention is very important in tech business, otherwise you might end up with a large infrastructure and a lot of technical debt to service
- of course the other classic balance sheet, debt, previous investment rounds, ...
