Fill the gaps next door, not across the county.
Zapaby plans your rounds, finds the free slots right next to jobs you’ve already booked, and lets customers book themselves in from your website. Less driving, more doing.
Features
One app for the whole round.
Every tool does a job you already do by hand, only faster: finding a slot, planning the drive, keeping customers in the loop.
Nearest Booking
By far our coolest feature. When a customer calls while you’re on the road, just enter their postcode. It instantly shows which days you’ll be closest, and the exact extra mileage to fit them in.
Route Optimiser
Our Route Optimiser supports exact-time bookings, flexible time windows, and recurring commercial appointments. For regulars, set how often you see them, say every four weeks, plus a few days’ flexibility. The system uses that wiggle room to build efficient routes and fit in more domestic customers.
Online Booking
Your account includes a booking widget you can embed on any website, so customers book straight into real-time availability from your Route Optimiser. You choose whether they book exact appointment times or flexible time windows, whichever suits your business.
Running Late
Our system includes running late and missed appointment alerts, and it automatically suggests next steps, like calling the customer or finding another slot. Tap “Find another slot” to jump straight to Nearest Booking and quickly reschedule.
Cold Calling Lists
Not every day gets fully booked, and when you’ve got a gap, we make it easy to fill. Upload your commercial contacts, and if you’ve got, say, two or three hours free between jobs, the system flags imported businesses within five miles of your current location, so you can call them, book them, and boost revenue.
Google Calendar Integration
All your bookings sync automatically to Google Calendar, so you always have a live reference in your personal account. Changes show up straight away, and you can check your schedule from anywhere you already use Google Calendar.

Customer story
“This app has completely changed the way I run my business.”
Before using it, I’d regularly take booking requests while out on the road. I’d grab a customer’s postcode, think to myself, ‘I’m somewhere near there on Wednesday,’ and book them in without giving it much thought.
It wasn’t until I started using this app that I realised just how much money I was wasting on fuel, how much unnecessary travelling I was doing, and how much productivity I was losing because my routes simply made no sense.
Juggling phone calls, emails and appointments was a constant headache. Now, the app takes care of almost everything.
Most of my customers book directly through my website, with appointments feeding straight into my Route Optimiser in real time. And when someone does call, the Nearest Booking feature instantly shows me when I’ll be closest to their location. I can find the most efficient slot and book them in within 30 seconds.
I’m spending less time driving, saving money on fuel, and fitting more customers into my working day.
It’s been an absolute lifesaver. I genuinely couldn’t imagine running my business without it now.
