Dispatch & scheduling, on autopilot
A managed AI agent that takes in every job, prioritizes by urgency, and routes work by technician location, skills, and truck inventory — so your dispatcher handles more calls without the morning chaos.
The morning dispatch scramble
For service businesses, the day starts in chaos: emergency calls stacking up, a dispatcher juggling which truck has the right parts and the closest tech, and a schedule that falls apart the moment a rush job hits.
- Hours lost every morning manually triaging and routing calls.
- Wrong tech or wrong truck sent — low first-time fix rates.
- A schedule that collapses whenever an emergency comes in.
- Dispatchers maxed out, unable to take on more volume.
What the agent does
We map your real dispatch workflow, then build an agent that routes by urgency, location, skills, and inventory — and co-manage it as your business grows.
- 01
Capture every job
The agent ingests calls and requests from phone, email, and your field service software in real time.
- 02
Prioritize by urgency
Emergencies and SLAs are triaged first, automatically.
- 03
Route intelligently
It matches each job to the right tech by location, skills, and the parts on their truck.
- 04
Dispatch & adjust
Routes auto-adjust when a rush job hits, and alert supervisors before bottlenecks form.
Illustrative dispatch architecture for a commercial HVAC contractor:
We were losing 3–4 hours every morning just dispatching emergency calls and figuring out which truck had the right parts. ThunderStaff mapped our entire workflow in two days and built an AI dispatch system that routes calls by urgency, tech location, and truck inventory. Now our dispatcher handles 40% more calls without working overtime, and our first-time fix rate jumped from 62% to 89%. We paid for the whole system in six weeks.
Dispatch is pure decision-making under pressure — ideal for an agent. The illustrative model applies benchmarked routing improvements to show how urgency, location, and inventory can increase dispatcher capacity without overtime.
Run the numbers in the ROI calculatorQuestions, answered
What industries is this for?
Any business that dispatches people to jobs — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, field service, delivery, and similar operations.
Does it work with our field service software?
Yes. The agent wires into the scheduling, CRM, and field service tools you already use, and can drive portals or systems with no API.
Will it dispatch without us?
You set the line. It can auto-dispatch routine jobs on your rules and route anything unusual to a human with full context.
How fast can it go live?
Most builds go from process mapping to a live agent in days, starting in the pricing flow.
