Distance-Based Travel Fees and Geo-Pricing Zones
Protect margin on mobile work and charge more accurately for travel, distance, and appliance service area pricing. With distance-based travel fees for mobile appliance repair call-outs and geo-pricing zones for field appliance service areas, OctopusPro can automatically apply free travel thresholds, per-kilometre or per-mile charges, and different pricing by suburb, postcode, or service zone, so the right travel fee is added without manual calculation.
