Route Optimization: How Field Data and Tech Can Reduce Fuel Use by 20%
Route optimization isn’t just about saving miles.
It’s about empowering technicians and improving operational cohesion.
Markus Konietzka, director of integrations at AXN Growth Partners, joins FieldRoutes’ Pest in Class podcast to share how his experience in logistics and as a technician shaped his people-first approach to route management.
From reducing gas consumption by 20% to slashing technician windshield time, Konietzka explains how implementing rigid scheduling, auditing practices, and route data analysis paid off big for his team at ACTION Termite & Pest Control.
Join Konietzka and podcast host Amanda Salvatore as they discuss:
Why empathy for technicians is a routing manager’s greatest soft skill
How routing efficiencies helped slash overall fuel consumption
The benefits of quarterly vs. monthly service agreements
