Blu Star Orion is a powerful tool designed to create optimized schedules for service orders and events, whether personal or professional, with or without specific locations. It intelligently assigns tasks to one or more technicians over a range of dates, optimizing for the shortest driving routes while accounting for the complexities of modern scheduling:

• Orders that must be serviced on specific dates, times, or time windows.
• Confirmed orders that are locked in place with the customer.
• Recurring orders that maintain consistent intervals, ensuring regular services are spaced appropriately.
• Personal and professional events such as meetings or full-day blocks.
• Technician-specific working hours and start/end locations, including their home or office.
• Multi-service orders that need to be spread out over the month.
• Early start commitments, like a 6 am service for special customers.
• Flexibility to leave space open for new customers or urgent callbacks.

With Blu Star Orion, schedules are generated in just minutes. Once calculated, Orion displays a detailed view of the schedule across three integrated panels: a calendar view, an interactive map, and a timeline. This intuitive interface allows for easy adjustments—whether moving orders between days, weeks, or technicians, with color-coded cues for quick reference.

Blu Star Orion doesn’t just create schedules; it builds dynamic, what-if scenarios. Editable projects can be saved for later refinement until you’re ready to fully commit to changes. Any unscheduled or problematic orders are flagged and displayed in both list and map views, making it easy to address them manually, with Orion re-optimizing the sequence afterward to maintain efficiency.

Ideal for a Range of Use Cases:

• Pre-assigned Technician Work: Distributes pre-assigned jobs optimally across a technician’s month.
• Mid-month Re-optimization: Adjust schedules to account for delays like weather or illness, or handle new starts or cancellations.
• Work Pool Management: Distribute tasks among multiple technicians, ideal for industries like lawn or pest control.
• Handling Unexpected Time Off: Efficiently redistribute a technician’s workload during time off.
• Territory Redefinition: As your business grows, Blu Star Orion can rebalance workloads when adding new technicians to existing territories.

Blu Star Orion ensures that your scheduling is always optimized, efficient, and flexible—helping you get the most out of your team and resources.
