How an Edmonton Trades Crew Simplified Scheduling with AI

Composite of local HVAC, electrical, and plumbing crews that wanted steadier days and faster responses without adding a dispatcher.

Owner time back
2–3 hours/day saved on routing and callbacks
Routing clarity
Jobs grouped by area to cut windshield time
Faster answers
Pricing and availability auto-replies in under 20s
Fewer misses
Missed calls drop as web/social messages are handled instantly

Starting point

The owner answered calls between jobs, sometimes missing inquiries. Routes changed mid-day, leading to extra driving and late arrivals. Estimates lived in text threads that were easy to lose.

What we implemented

  • • AI assistant that answers basic pricing, availability, and service areas instantly.
  • • Intake form capturing address, urgency, and photos to triage jobs.
  • • Map-based scheduling to group nearby jobs and avoid double-booking.
  • • Automatic updates to crews when customers reschedule or add notes.

Outcomes to aim for

Based on similar Alberta trades rollouts—results depend on crew size and service radius.

  • • 2–3 hours/day back from fewer routing changes and callbacks.
  • • Faster replies keep more prospects from shopping elsewhere.
  • • Clearer routes cut down windshield time and late arrivals.
  • • Job details stay in one place instead of scattered texts.

Timeline & effort

Week 1: intake and FAQ. Week 2: routing and crew notifications. Week 3: refine pricing scripts and add photo-based triage. Training fits in two 30-minute sessions.

Why this worked

The crew spent less time on the road and more on billable work. Customers got quick answers and reliable arrival windows.

Try a pilot

Start with intake + FAQ, then add routing rules once call volume drops. Keep everything on month-to-month tools.
