How Much Fuel and Dead Time Route Optimisation Actually Saves

Most diaries are built by humans squinting at a map. The result is back-and-forth driving, late jobs and a wasted hour at the end of every day. Route optimisation isn't a "nice to have" — it's a direct line back to fuel, time and revenue.

The hidden cost today

• Every extra mile is fuel, tyres and vehicle wear.
• Every extra 10 minutes of driving is a slot you can't sell.
• Late running first jobs cascade into late running last jobs.
• Office time spent re-juggling the board when one job overruns.

What Tryoup changes

Tryoup builds the diary around skills, location and live traffic. When a job moves, the board re-sorts automatically. Engineers see the optimal next stop on the mobile app instead of doubling back across the city.

A worked example

• 6 vans × 8 miles/day saved × 230 working days × £0.55/mile = ~£6,070/year in vehicle costs.
• 1 extra job per van per week × 6 vans × £150 margin × 48 weeks = ~£43,200/year in recovered revenue.
• Total annualised gain: ~£49,000/year for a 6-van team.

A simple formula

Annual saving ≈ (vans × miles saved/day × 230 × £/mile) + (vans × extra jobs/week × margin × 48)
