Case Study: Crash of Rhinos Painting achieves $7,500 annual savings and reduces scheduling workload by 125 hours with OptimoRoute

Painting Contractor Saves $7,500 Annually by Reducing Scheduling Workload and Miles Driven With OptimoRoute

Crash of Rhinos Painting, a Phoenix-based residential exterior painting company owned by Mike Ricker, was overwhelmed by time-consuming in-person estimating and manual scheduling as it grew to 27 employees and 600–800 homes a year. After moving to remote quoting during COVID, the business could produce more proposals but hit a bottleneck coordinating appointments and routes—so they turned to OptimoRoute’s scheduling and route-optimization software.

OptimoRoute provided route optimization, real-time order tracking and “Driver is on its way” notifications, giving Crash of Rhinos visibility and neighborhood-level planning. As a result, proposal capacity rose from about 30 to 80 quotes per week with half the manpower, scheduling workload fell by up to 10 hours a week (125 hours/year), team travel dropped by 3,000 miles/year, and the company reports $7,500 in annual savings, plus improved customer experience and responsive support from OptimoRoute.
