Fewer “any update?” calls

With PreDispatch customer notification software, customers get SMS and email at booked, paid, dispatched, en route, and complete. That closes the loop without your dispatcher living in the phone. Notifications sit on top of payment before dispatch, so the “pay this link” message and the “tech is on the way” message are part of one flow.

HOW IT WORKS

How customer notification software works in PreDispatch

Customer notification software from PreDispatch — part of the eight-feature platform. See the full flow on How it works.

01

Tied to real job events

Messages fire from actual system events: payment cleared, technician marked en route, job complete. CRM stores the history. Scheduling can trigger booking confirmations. Quote approval can notify when a quote is ready or a deposit is due. Because messages follow real events, the customer notification software never sends a guess.

02

Professional without a second tool

You do not need separate customer notification software for basic job updates. PreDispatch keeps notifications inside the same workspace as dispatch and technicians, with clear, factual wording customers can trust.

03

Works with the iOS field app

Technician status changes in the app drive customer updates. Dispatchers on browser or tablet can see what the customer already received. Android for technicians is coming soon. Customer notification software and the field app stay in sync on every job.

04

Same notifications across trades

Locksmith lockouts and HVAC tune-ups both need “we’re on the way.” Your trade page covers industry workflows; the customer notification software keeps every customer updated the same reliable way.
