Any business running technicians in the field eventually confronts the same arithmetic. A technician who drives across town to collect a part has spent an hour and a half not fixing anything, and the customer who was waiting has been rescheduled. Repeat that a few times a week and the cost is substantial.
The alternative is moving the part to the technician rather than the technician to the...
Something happens to a household when the eldest child turns fourteen. The grocery bill increases by a third, food disappears at a rate that seems physically impossible, and the person responsible for cooking begins to feel like they are running a small restaurant with no staff.

What each model actually is
Recurring orders. A set delivery on a schedule, weekly, fortnightly or...
Auckland's climate is mild, but it is also unpredictable. A run of sunny days in August can be followed by a fortnight of rain, and a summer storm can drop a month's worth of water in a single afternoon. For any project that involves moving soil, that unpredictability matters more than most people expect.
