Ontyme is an AI-powered scheduling, dispatching, and job tracking platform for small to mid-sized home service businesses — from HVAC and plumbing to cleaning and electrical — that lets you assign, route, and monitor field work from a single dashboard on web, Android, and iOS.
What is Ontyme?
Ontyme is a smart field operations platform built for home service companies. It takes job requests, technician availability, location, skills, and drive times as input and produces optimized schedules, GPS-optimized routes, real-time ETA updates, and digital job completion records as output. The platform runs on web browsers, Android, and iOS devices. It is developed by the OnTyme.ai team (no parent company named on the page).
Key Features

- Route Optimization — Uses Google Maps to minimize total travel time and sends GPS-optimized directions directly to technicians’ devices.
- Job Completion Tools — Field teams can upload photos, fill custom checklists and forms, add notes, and mark status updates from the mobile app; all data attaches to the job ticket in real time.
- Notifications & Communication — Push alerts for early, on-time, or delayed arrivals; automated ETA updates sent to customers; in-app chat between office and field.

Who is it for?
- Small to mid-sized home service business owners who need a single dashboard to see every job, technician, and schedule, reduce no-shows with automated reminders, and make data-driven decisions from performance reports.
- Field technicians and installers in HVAC, plumbing, cleaning, handyman, electrical, and shades who need clear job details (where to go, what to bring), GPS-optimized routes, and the ability to capture photo proof and mark jobs complete on-site.
- Dispatch managers who want AI to automatically assign the right technician to the right job based on skills, location, and availability, eliminating manual double-booking and drive-time guesswork.
What can you do with Ontyme?
- HVAC contractor: Use AI scheduling to assign service calls to technicians by skill level and location, then push Google Maps routes to their phones and send ETA updates to homeowners automatically.
- Cleaning company owner: Manage recurring cleaning routes, track crew arrivals with real-time ETAs, and collect photo proof of completed rooms — all from a single color-coded calendar.
- Electrical business dispatcher: Avoid double-booking by letting Ontyme’s AI evaluate 30-minute slots across each electrician’s day, skip holidays automatically, and instantly notify customers of schedule changes.
How does Ontyme work?
The workflow follows four steps. First, AI-powered scheduling assigns jobs to technicians by analyzing skills, location, drive times, availability, and holidays, checking 30-minute slots. Second, GPS-optimized routes (via Google Maps) are pushed to each technician’s device, with proactive ETA alerts sent to customers. Third, field teams use the mobile app to upload photos, fill forms, update job statuses in real time. Fourth, a unified dashboard displays every job with color-coded statuses, custom filters, and calendar sync (Google Calendar/Outlook export).
