# Scheduling & Crew Dispatch for Plumbing Contractors

Dispatch that answers every call and fills every gap

Emergency calls get triaged and booked instantly, open slots get filled with nearby work, and techs get re-routed when a job runs long.

## Why it works for this trade
- **24/7 call coverage:** Every inbound request is answered, triaged by urgency and booked — nights, weekends and holidays included.
- **No dead windshield time:** Gaps in the day get filled with nearby scheduled work, so techs stay billable between emergencies.
- **Automatic re-routing:** When a job runs long, the board re-sequences and customers get updated times automatically.

## A day in the life
A burst pipe call comes in at 7am. It's triaged as urgent, the closest tech is dispatched, and the two affected appointments get polite reschedule notices — before you've had coffee.

## FAQ
Q: Does it handle true emergencies differently?
A: Yes — requests are triaged by urgency, and emergencies are pushed to the schedule immediately with the right crew.
