Scheduling built to flex with every job’s true length.
Field service fleets dispatch technicians and their equipment for on-site work such as repairs, installations and maintenance.
You find out what the job is by arriving at it.
Because they coordinate jobs across shifting daily schedules and service areas, operators must route technicians efficiently between appointments while managing variable job durations and last-minute service calls.
Scheduling built to flex with every job's true length.
Defined service windows, built to absorb the jobs that run long or short. Will-call features allow technicians and dispatchers to adjust the timeframe so that it matches the real work performed.
Estimates are wrong in both directions.
A day of appointments is a day of estimates. What decides whether the last one is kept is not better guessing — it is whether the schedule can absorb the overruns with the time the short jobs gave back.

Actual — 7.5 h

A window, not a time
Defined service windows are built to absorb the jobs that run long or short. The diagnostic that took an extra hour is paid for by the install that finished early, and the last appointment still holds.
Adjusted from the field
Will-call lets technicians and dispatchers move the timeframe to match the real work performed, so the schedule reflects the day rather than the estimate the day started with.

The right technician. The right vehicle. Matched instantly.
Co-located vehicle capabilities and technician skills are instantly accessible, making it easy to pair the right person and equipment with each job. Success depends on matching the right technician, tools and time to the work.
- Skills and vehicle capability in one place
- Co-located vehicle capabilities and technician skills are instantly accessible, making it easy to pair the right person and equipment with each job.
- The match is the outcome
- Success depends on matching the right technician, tools and time to the work — a qualified technician without the part is still a second visit.
- Last-minute calls, honestly placed
- An emergency call goes to whoever can genuinely take it, judged on where they are, what they carry and what they are already committed to.
Proof of the work, not just proof of the visit.
Documentation captures what was actually done at each stop, not just that a technician showed up. Billing is backed up by a clear record of the work performed, supporting accuracy and resolving disputes quickly.
- What was actually done
- Documentation captures the work performed at each stop, not just that a technician showed up and left again.
- Billing that matches the visit
- Invoices are backed by a clear record of the work performed, which supports accuracy and resolves disputes quickly.
- Parts and materials used
- What came off the van stays attached to the job it was used on, so the charge and the consumption agree.
- Time on site
- Arrival and departure recorded as they happen, which is what makes a two-hour job billed as two hours defensible.
- Photographs and notes
- Condition before and after, captured at the stop, for the jobs where a description alone was never going to settle it.
- Follow-up work
- A job that could not be completed leaves a record of why, so the return visit starts from what was found rather than from scratch.
A visit is not a deliverable. The work is.
Every field operation eventually has the same argument with a customer: not whether somebody came, but what they did while they were there. The answer is worth writing down at the time.
What service managers ask first.
The Help Center goes further on each of these, with the screens they happen on.
As a window rather than a fixed time. Service windows are built to absorb jobs that run long or short, and will-call lets the timeframe be adjusted to match the real work performed.
