Job Scheduling & Weather Rescheduling

Q: Does someone still decide which jobs actually get rescheduled?

Yes, the automation surfaces the risk so a person can confirm the final call, though clear-cut cases can be handled automatically.

Q: Can this work alongside the scheduling tool we already use?

The automation connects to common job scheduling and calendar tools rather than replacing them.

Q: What happens to past job records when this is set up?

Existing job and customer data stays in place; the automation reads and updates it rather than starting fresh.

Q: How are unusual or borderline weather cases handled?

Borderline cases are flagged for manual review instead of being rescheduled automatically.

Keep crews on roofs and customers informed when the forecast forces a change to the schedule.

About This Automation

Weather-driven rescheduling requires someone to check forecasts, judge which jobs are truly at risk, and then contact crews and customers before work begins. Doing this by hand each morning pulls a scheduler away from other tasks and often causes delayed or inconsistent notifications.

An automated version continuously checks forecasts against the day's job list, flags jobs at risk, and sends confirmations or reschedule messages once a decision is made. The schedule, calendar, and team channel stay updated automatically, reducing missed notices and last-minute confusion.

Key features:

Scans daily job sites against live weather conditions before crews are dispatched

Flags jobs at risk of delay based on roof type and site exposure

Sends go or no-go confirmations to crews without manual calls or texts

Notifies customers of reschedule dates as soon as a decision is confirmed

Keeps the job board, crew calendar, and team channel synced automatically

Logs the delay reason for reporting without extra data entry
