Dispatch by phone, whiteboard, or sticky notes. Double-bookings, missed appointments, and techs driving across town for nothing.
Key Finding: Independent workflow analysis indicates that unresolved dispatch & scheduling issues in Appliance Repair operations hinder efficiency. Research shows that Inefficient routing and manual dispatch scheduling lead to 25% of all service truck rolls requiring at least one redundant callback [1]. Specifically for Appliance Repair teams, 25% of field service dispatches require at least one follow-up visit due to incomplete information at the time of routing [2].

Appliance repair techs visit 6–10 homes per day, documenting model numbers, failure symptoms, parts used, and warranty claim information at each stop. Paper work orders that lose the model number or have an illegible serial number mean OEM warranty claims get rejected — turning covered repairs into out-of-pocket losses that the tech or the shop absorbs.
Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to dispatch & scheduling and appliance repair workflows.
A property management company calls with an emergency refrigerator failure at a rental property with a tenant complaining about spoiled food. The dispatcher has to find a tech who is near the property, has refrigeration experience, and has the right sealed-system parts on the truck.
Emergency re-dispatch off a scheduled route means 2–3 next-day service appointments get pushed — and in a market where competitors promise same-day service, delayed callbacks convert to lost customers.

Every missed or double-booked appointment costs $150–$400 in lost revenue and customer goodwill.
These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the dispatch & scheduling gap. That's what we build.
We study exactly where dispatch & scheduling happens in your appliance repair operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the dispatch & scheduling problem, you don't pay.
