Job scheduling and dispatch in HVAC services requires matching technicians to customer requests while accounting for availability, location, and skill. Manual dispatch consumes significant time as dispatchers juggle multiple calendars, estimate routes, and coordinate confirmations.
Automation queries technician calendars, calculates optimal routes, and ranks candidates by efficiency. Confirmations are sent automatically to both technician and customer, eliminating manual coordination and reducing double-bookings.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A customer submits a service request via email, phone, or web form. The request is captured with location, issue type, and preferred time window.
The automation extracts customer location, service type, and time preference from the request. Details are standardized and validated.
The system checks all technician calendars and pulls real-time availability for the requested time window and surrounding hours.
The automation calculates travel time and distance from each available technician's current location to the job site, ranking candidates by efficiency and skill match.
The system automatically assigns the job to the best-matched technician and creates a calendar event to block the time and prevent double-bookings.
The automation sends the assigned technician a detailed job notification and email with address, customer contact, issue summary, and arrival window.
The system sends the customer a confirmation via email and SMS with technician name, arrival window, and direct contact number.
The job assignment is recorded as a live dispatch log, creating a single source of truth for all stakeholders to monitor progress.
