Capacity heatmap
The Fleet & Capacity Lab (/labs/capacity) pulls your real dispatch payload and simulates what happens when weather or absences hit — without mutating your live board.
Foreman+ feature
Section titled “Foreman+ feature”Full Capacity Lab requires Foreman or above. Sandbox sees locked previews with sample animations.
What it shows
Section titled “What it shows”- Weekly heatmap — per-day utilization by crew
- Overflow hours — work that won’t fit at current staffing
- Unassigned jobs — backlog that couldn’t be placed
- Rain / storm sliders — perturb job durations and crew availability
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- ArborBuddy calls
get_routing_payloadfor your company (same data Auto-Dispatch uses). - The simulator perturbs job durations and crew absences across thousands of runs.
optimizeRoutesscores assignments — results are read-only in Labs.
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”- Before storm week when you’re tempted to over-promise
- When hiring and you need data on a third crew
- After Auto-Dispatch preview shows conflicts — validate capacity before upgrading to Autopilot
See Auto-Dispatch for applying optimized schedules on paid tiers.
