How a route is calculated
When you offer items or services at the customer Vev makes sure that the distance for your bookings is calculated in the most accurate and fair way possible.
A straight line
Our system uses a simple method to figure out the distance between you and your customer: it calculates the distance “as the crow flies.”
This means we measure the straight-line distance between two points (your location and your customer’s) without considering roads, traffic, or obstacles. Imagine drawing a straight line between your business and the customer’s address—this is how the distance is calculated.
Why use this method?
This method ensures that the calculation is simple, efficient, and consistent. More importantly, it helps avoid complications related to traffic or road conditions that could vary day-to-day. We focus on keeping it straightforward so both you and your customer have a clear understanding of the service area.
What about the return trip?
Don’t worry, Vev has you covered! The distance calculation accounts for a round trip. This means we calculate the distance from your location to your customer and back again, ensuring you’re always compensated fairly for your time and travel. You won’t lose money or get underpaid for any trip because the return journey is built into the calculation.
