About us

Rob Ducharme, Routezilla’s founder, has owned several Home Services companies (Irrigations services, Lawn Care and Landscaping). One challenge he continuously ran up against was the problem of time and resources being tied-up in appointment scheduling and coordination. After an exhaustive search to find a software that took geography into account in a scheduling solution he came up empty-handed. Like any good entrepreneur, he created his own solution for the problem. Routezilla has evolved into a robust, yet simple to implement solution, perfect for Home Services providers, but applicable for any business that wants to allow customers the ability to book their service (appointment/estimate/delivery/visit) at a time and location of the customer’s choosing. Routezilla’s Dynamic Scheduling Engine can scale from a sole proprietor service company to national chain or franchise service provider.
“ At Routezilla we strive to empower Home Services companies with the tools to allow their businesses to thrive. Routezilla sees technology as a tool for prosperity. ”
