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 Plumbing 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 Plumbing teams, Emergency calls disrupt 35% of scheduled plumbing work. 25% of all field service dispatches require at least one follow-up visit due to incomplete information [2].

Plumbing shops juggle emergency calls, multi-day remodel projects, and recurring backflow testing — often on paper tickets that get wet, torn, or lost in the truck. When a permit inspector asks for the installation record, it is a scramble.
Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to dispatch & scheduling and plumbing workflows.
A burst pipe emergency comes in at 10 AM. The dispatcher pulls a tech off a remodel job, but forgets to notify the remodel customer. Two customers are now unhappy.
Emergency re-dispatching without automated notifications creates cascading schedule disruptions and customer complaints.

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 plumbing 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.
