Rachel managed dispatch for a growing HVAC company with 23 technicians spread across four counties. Every morning, she'd spend two hours manually looking up addresses on Google Maps, trying to figure out which technician was closest to each new service call. She'd flip between tabs, scribble distances on sticky notes, and pray she wasn't sending someone 45 minutes out of their way. One miscalculation cost her company $340 in wasted fuel last month alone—and that was just the trips she caught.
That's when Rachel discovered the Excel Store Locator. A quick search for "match clients to nearest service provider in Excel" led her to a tool that would transform her chaotic mornings into a one-click operation.
