Peak season should mean more revenue.
But for most home service companies, it means:
- Double-booked jobs
- Missed appointments
- Dispatch teams overwhelmed
- Customers calling nonstop for updates
Yardsy hit that exact wall.
With thousands of customers and hundreds of weekly services, their team was stuck managing what they called “scheduling chaos.”
“We had multiple managers spending hours every week just trying to keep routes organized. It wasn’t sustainable.”
— Zach Coward, COO, Five Tracks (Podcast: How Outsourcing Works)
Instead of hiring more local coordinators and adding complexity, they made a strategic shift.
They offloaded scheduling and dispatch to a dedicated specialist team.
This allowed them to:
- Centralize routing and scheduling
- Reduce missed or delayed services
- Free up leadership to focus on growth
“When routing became a dedicated role, everything became more efficient and predictable.”
— Zach Coward, COO, Five Tracks (Podcast: How Outsourcing Works)
The result?
More jobs completed per day Faster response times A smoother, more reliable customer experience
