Route planning and invoicing for mobile car detailers
Mobile detailing is all about fitting as many cars into your day as possible without burning half your time on the road. DayRoute helps you plan tight routes between bookings, manage client details and vehicle info, track product costs, and send invoices before you pack up your gear. Built for solo detailers and small mobile detailing teams.
Common challenges for mobile detailing businesses
Appointments are scattered across the city
A morning detail in the CBD, a lunchtime SUV in the eastern suburbs, an afternoon fleet job in the west. Without a route plan, you spend as much time driving as detailing.
Keeping track of vehicle details and client preferences
Some clients want a basic wash, others want a full ceramic coat. Remembering who wants what — and which car — gets messy fast.
Product costs eat into margins if you don't track them
Ceramic coatings, polishing compounds, microfibre cloths — they're not cheap. If you're not tracking expenses properly, you're probably under-pricing jobs.
