Whiteboard Scheduling Is Holding Your Crew Back
Dispatch by phone, whiteboard, or sticky notes. Double-bookings, missed appointments, and techs driving across town for nothing.

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.

How Dispatch & Scheduling Actually Looks in Plumbing
The Scenario
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.
The Real Impact
Emergency re-dispatching without automated notifications creates cascading schedule disruptions and customer complaints.
What the Research Says
“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.”
— ServiceTitan Benchmark Report / Aberdeen Group, 2024
