What Jobber route optimization does
Jobber describes two routing approaches: a master route for more fixed patterns and daily route optimization for schedules that change more often. The newer schedule can automatically reorder visits to reduce backtracking.
Who benefits most
Route optimization matters most when a crew completes several geographically separated stops per day. Pool service, window cleaning, pressure washing, mobile detailing and similar businesses can lose meaningful capacity to drive time.
When to compare other tools
If route planning is the core operating system rather than one feature inside field-service software, compare Jobber with Housecall Pro and specialist route tools on multi-route planning, territory structure and how much route control you need.

How to use this answer
Feature availability matters, but fit depends on the operating workflow around the feature. Compare the product against your actual job volume, business size, trade and the admin bottleneck you are trying to remove.
