DriveTime Ops Field operations & Location Intelligence

Cut windshield time. Fix the territories that waste it.

DriveTime Ops builds Spatial Optimization Blueprints and fractional GeoOps leadership for mid-market field and logistics teams — Location Intelligence without a full-time GIS Director.

Built for Greater Phoenix field teams whose day is shaped by I-10, Loop 101, and Loop 202 — often already on ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro.

Based around Greater Phoenix. Built for field and logistics operators.

Who we help

For operators who can see the waste, but need a clear way to fix it.

Built for mid-market ops leaders in Greater Phoenix and similar Sun Belt field markets.

Mid-market home-service and field firms (~50–150 employees / ~40–150 trucks) running ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro across West Valley and Southeast Valley / Queen Creek work.

  • Owner / CEO / COOGrowth stalled by fuel, overtime, and territory chaos.
  • VP Ops / Dispatch or ServiceTechs burning hours on windshield time and overlap.
  • CFO / finance partnerFewer miles and cleaner location data feeding the P&L.
  • Field service & home-service teamsHVAC, plumbing, roofing, solar, and commercial contractors.
  • Logistics & field workforce teamsSite selection, asset tracking, and intake that holds up downstream.

We are not: a custom software shop, or a vendor implementation partner for your field service platform.

Services

Practical spatial leadership, packaged for the work in front of you.

Start with the decision you need to make. Each engagement is scoped after a short fit conversation.

01

Territory & Field Optimization Audit

You leave with a Spatial Optimization Blueprint.

We audit your ops and location data, map where drive time and territory design leak money, and hand you a practical Blueprint — restructure territories, clean location data, and wire modern map tools to how dispatch already works in ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro — as architecture, not as a vendor implementation partner.

Starting at$5,000 fixed engagement

Scoped after a short fit conversation. No custom software product pitch.

02

Fractional Chief Spatial Officer

GeoOps-as-a-Service

Part-time spatial leadership for leadership meetings, data standards, vendor choices, and tying field ops to the metrics that matter — jobs per tech per day, overtime, fuel, first-time arrival. We design workflows and architecture; plumbing runs through low-code tools or contractors.

Starting at$3,000 / month · about 10–15 hours

Scoped after a short fit conversation. No custom software product pitch.

03

Location Data Cleanse & Capture System

Spatial Data Governance Setup

Design the pipeline and protocols to capture, clean, and store address, lat/long, and territory polygons so ops (and later AI) stop running on broken location data.

Starting at$15,000 fixed engagement

Scoped after a short fit conversation. No custom software product pitch.

How it works

The Spatial Optimization Blueprint path

Most teams start with a fixed Territory & Field Optimization Audit. Fractional leadership and location-data governance are available when you need ongoing GeoOps judgment or a clean capture system — they don’t replace the Blueprint path; they sit beside it.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    Pull the messy truth out of dispatch and the map: drive time and territory overlap, intake that lands wrong, and location data that doesn’t match how trucks actually move across the Valley (including I-10 / Loop 101 / Loop 202 patterns).

  2. 02

    Blueprint

    You get a Spatial Optimization Blueprint: territory redesign options, location-data cleanup priorities, and how modern map tools should plug into the systems you already run (often ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro) — without a vendor-partner pitch.

  3. 03

    Embed

    Stand up the new territory logic and data habits with your team, or hand off a clear runbook. Stay on with Fractional Chief Spatial Officer support if you want ongoing GeoOps leadership; add Location Data Cleanse & Capture when the foundation itself is the bottleneck.

About DriveTime Ops

Peer-level GeoOps judgment, without the jargon shop.

DriveTime Ops is an independent, productized GeoOps firm. We help logistics and field enterprises scale operations with Location Intelligence — fixing windshield time, broken territories, and field intake — without hiring an expensive full-time GIS Director.

We sell Blueprints and fractional leadership. We design geographic workflows and architecture. Implementation uses low-code spatial tools and, when needed, contractors for plumbing. We do not sell custom code as the product.

Based around Greater Phoenix.

Founder, DriveTime Ops

I spent 26 years in enterprise GIS, most of it building products with large channel partners at a leading GIS software company. I learned how location technology works inside big organizations, and where it quietly fails.

I repeatedly saw mid-sized operations bleeding thousands of dollars in unbillable windshield time because standard dispatch software breaks the spatial workflow—relying on rigid, outdated zip codes that completely ignore real-world traffic flows and geographic bottlenecks.

Today I work directly with field service operators in the Greater Phoenix area who are too big to ignore their drive time and too small to hire a full-time GIS director. I design the territory logic and data standards, and low-code tools and trusted contractors handle implementation. You work with me, not a junior team.
