What is Service Dispatch Software?

Whether you are in the HVAC, automotive, or emergency services industry, service dispatch software was created to simplify your job, improve customer experience, and connect the office to the field. Easily connect with employees, dispatch jobs, and optimize routes for productivity with one online platform.  

Key Benefits of Service Dispatch Software

Online booking calendar

Offer more flexible booking options with the software’s online booking calendar. Allow clients to schedule appointments in their own time, and with real-time availability updates, you don’t have to worry about double-booking. 

Streamlined scheduling options 

With service dispatch software, scheduling employees just got easier. Create and share daily, weekly or monthly schedules, review time-off requests and log employee hours for a more streamlined approach to employee management. 

Travel time management 

For businesses with mobile workforces, service dispatch software’s travel time management features are a lifesaver. Select employees based on location, experience, or availability, plan routes, factor in travel time, and dispatch employees within the platform for a professional service every time.
