About This Automation

Work-order and job management in fleet maintenance is a manual, error-prone process where dispatchers receive requests, log them, check technician availability, assign jobs, and close orders across multiple tools.

Automation routes incoming requests directly into a unified system, intelligently assigns jobs based on technician location and availability, tracks progress in real time, and closes work orders automatically once completion is confirmed.

Key features
Capture incoming requests from email, phone, web form, or chat and log them automatically into your work-order system
Evaluate technician availability, location, skill set, and workload to assign jobs intelligently and minimize travel time
Track technician progress and arrival in real time without manual status updates
Close work orders automatically once completion is confirmed and all required information is validated
Send customer confirmation messages and update billing records without manual dispatcher intervention
Reduce average job assignment time from 25 minutes to 2 minutes

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Incoming Request Capturedtrigger

A customer submits a maintenance request via email, web form, or chat. The automation platform captures the request and extracts customer name, location, and issue description.

2. Create Work Order

The automation creates a new work order record with customer details, job description, and status set to 'Assigned'.

3. Intelligent Job Assignment

The automation evaluates technician availability, location, skill set, and current workload to recommend the best technician for the job. the automation considers travel time and job complexity.

4. Notify Technician

The automation sends a message to the assigned technician with job details, customer location, and priority. The message includes a link to the work order.

5. Send Customer Confirmation

The automation sends an email to the customer confirming the job is assigned and providing an estimated arrival time and technician name.

6. Technician Completes Work On Site

Technician performs the maintenance work and marks the job complete or via a mobile form. This step remains manual because it requires human judgment and on-site verification.

7. Close Work Order and Log to QuickBooks

When the technician marks the job complete, the automation closes the work order and creates a billable entry for invoicing.

8. Send Completion Notification

The automation sends a completion email to the customer with job summary, invoice details, and a link to rate the service.
