Create your Rhumbit account
Updated August 9, 2026 · 2 walkthroughs
Signing up takes a couple of minutes. The part worth slowing down for is your home base — it is the address every route starts and ends at, and Rhumbit will not let you plan a day without it.

Your trade and your home base
Picking a trade is not cosmetic. Rhumbit pre-loads that trade's service types, so your first job can be scheduled without you building a catalog first. You can edit, add to or delete any of them later in Settings → Service types.

Home base is usually your shop, your yard, or your driveway. Drive time to the first stop and back from the last one is measured from it, so an approximate address gives you approximate routes.
Your first look at the app
Your organization is created the first time you sign in, not the moment you submit the sign-up form. If you close the tab before that first sign-in, sign in again with the same email and you will land exactly where you left off.
What to do next
- Set your working hours and timezone — both bound every route the optimizer builds.
- Invite a technician, or skip it: a one-person business is a first-class setup here, not a degraded one.
- Add your first job.
