About This Automation

Job scheduling and dispatch is the process of receiving customer requests, checking crew availability, assigning crews, and sending dispatch instructions to field teams. Manual scheduling creates bottlenecks when availability checks are slow and confirmation tracking is inconsistent.

Automation captures job requests from multiple channels, instantly evaluates crew availability and skill match, assigns the best crew, and sends dispatch instructions with automatic confirmation tracking.

Key features
Capture job requests from email, web forms, and customer portals in a single inbox
Check crew availability and skill match instantly across all teams
Assign jobs automatically based on location, workload, and crew preferences
Send dispatch instructions and customer notifications through multiple channels
Track crew confirmation and handle last-minute changes without manual follow-up
Log all jobs in a shared calendar to prevent double bookings

3. Check Crew Availability

4. Assign Best-Fit Crew

The automation evaluates crew skills, location proximity, and workload to assign the most suitable crew automatically.

5. Send Dispatch to Crew

Dispatch instructions are sent to the assigned crew and SMS with job address, time, scope, and customer contact.

6. Notify Customer

Customer receives crew name, vehicle details, and estimated arrival time via email.

7. Log Job in Calendar

The job is automatically added to the shared calendar and crew member's schedule to prevent conflicts.
