Trades Dispatch Desk

A growing service crew where the owner and dispatcher juggle calls, quote requests, and incomplete job details all day.

This is a composite workflow scenario. It is designed to show realistic consulting scope and tradeoffs, not to imply a named customer result.

The Challenge

  • Incoming requests arrive by text, website, and voicemail with missing details
  • Dispatch spends too much time calling back to clarify urgency, address, and job type
  • Crews leave for jobs without enough context, creating delays and repeat trips
  • Quote requests cool off when follow-up depends on the owner's availability
Operational impact: Slow intake and weak dispatch detail reduce close rate and waste crew time.

How We Can Help

1. Structured AI Intake Flow

Guide customers through job type, urgency, address, photos, and preferred time before human review.

2. Structured Dispatch Summaries

Every request lands with the same core details so dispatch can prioritize faster.

3. Quote Follow-up Flow

The workflow nudges quote requests and routes ready-to-book customers back to staff.

4. Team Handoff Rules

Urgent, unusual, or high-value requests escalate immediately to the right person.

Timeline: Delivered in phases; timeline depends on scope and integrations.
