Stop driving past the machine shop that isn't on Google.
Factories, warehouses, and machine shops don't have Google Business profiles. You drive past them every day with no way to know they're there. Tonight you'll type up the day from memory and lose half of what the maintenance manager said. Tomorrow is the same day.
It doesn't have to be.
Three moments that cost you the quarter.
Read these and nod. Then read them again and notice: not one of them is a routing problem. They’re decision problems.
You drive 60 miles for a quote review with a buyer who's been stalled for a quarter, while a machine shop ten minutes from your last stop has been buying the wrong abrasive from your competitor for years and you don't know it exists. The list lives in your head. The unlisted shops don't.
You get home, eat, and try to remember what the maintenance manager said about the new line going in. Half the detail is gone by the time you're at the keyboard. The good stuff never gets logged. It lives in your head until it doesn't.
The 2pm at the warehouse cancels. You're 90 minutes from anywhere useful, you scroll the CRM, you guess, you end up at the closest plant instead of the right one. The unlisted shops in the industrial park you drove through stay invisible.
Every hour in the field, worth being there.
Not more features. Not a dashboard to learn. Three things that should have been true the whole time.
A real multi-day swing through your territory. Existing accounts ranked by recency and pipeline, mixed with plants and machine shops that don't have Google profiles, found via building footprints and trade directories. Real drive times, honest windows, your manager's priorities already in.
"Just left Northstar Machining. Buyer Greg wants the new carbide insert samples by Tuesday, the maintenance shutdown is the third week of March, decision-maker on the new line is the plant manager Carla." One sentence. Contacts, follow-ups, deal signals extracted. Salesforce or HubSpot current before you start the car.
The 2pm drops. Instead of guessing, you get one suggestion: a fab house eight minutes away that doesn't have a Google profile and isn't in your CRM. The right next move, not the nearest one.
Not another pin on another map.
The route isn't the problem. The stops are. Nearest doesn't mean most valuable, and FieldPilot picks the most valuable.
FieldPilot captures what you said and updates Salesforce or HubSpot for you. No forms. No homework. Your CRM stays the system of record.
Managers see outcomes, not dots on a map. Nobody is watching where you drove. Visibility without surveillance.
The view from the manager’s seat is different. Strategy, coverage, outcomes, no surveillance. The rep page is for the person in the car.

Frequently asked questions
How is FieldPilot different from a route planner like Salesforce Maps or Badger Maps?+
Route planners get you from A to B faster. FieldPilot decides whether B was the right place to be in the first place. It plans the multi-day trip from your accounts, calendar, and territory; surfaces prospects you'd never have found on your own; captures the visit when you tell the app what happened; and updates Salesforce or HubSpot for you. Route planners do none of that.
We already have our facilities in the CRM. Why do we need this?+
A list of facilities doesn't tell you which one to visit Wednesday afternoon. FieldPilot plans the trip from your accounts, fills the gaps with prospects from trade directories and local data, and ranks every stop by recency, pipeline value, and the priorities your manager set. Your CRM stays the system of record.
Is anyone tracking where I drive?+
No GPS tracking. No dots on a map. FieldPilot uses your calendar and territory to plan stops. Managers see outcomes (which accounts got attention, what moved in pipeline), not routes, not locations, not mileage.
How does the visit capture actually work?+
After the stop, tell the app what happened in a sentence. "Met with Frank, he wants the Q3 proposal by Friday, decision-maker is now Amanda Jones." FieldPilot extracts the contacts, follow-ups, and deal signals and writes them to Salesforce or HubSpot. Thirty seconds, then drive.
Where do new prospects come from?+
Two layers. Google Places for consumer-proximate accounts. Sonnet web search across trade directories, registries, and association lists for industrial and niche B2B. Every new facility is sourced from a real URL and ranked alongside your existing accounts.
What CRMs and calendars connect?+
Salesforce or HubSpot for CRM. Google Calendar or Outlook for calendar. OAuth-connected, encrypted at rest. No double entry.
How does pricing work?+
Free trip plan first. No card required. If it works, $100 per user for the first month, then $399/mo solo or $349/user/mo for teams of 5+. 25 founder seats lock a tiered rate forever; first come, first served.
How does it find plants and shops that aren't on Google?+
FieldPilot uses building footprint data and satellite imagery (not Google Business profiles) to identify industrial facilities. It cross-references trade directories, manufacturing registries, and association lists to confirm what kind of operation they are, then ranks them alongside your CRM accounts. Best candidate wins, regardless of whether anyone has bothered to put up a Google listing.
Will it know the difference between a machine shop, a fab house, and a warehouse?+
Yes. FieldPilot classifies discovered facilities by what they actually do (machining, fabrication, assembly, distribution) and ranks them alongside your existing accounts using recency, pipeline value, and your manager's priorities. The right kind of stop surfaces for the rep and the moment.
