Calendar that respects availability

Drag-and-drop field service scheduling software helps dispatchers place jobs against technician availability. Slots stay honest because payment before dispatch can require the service-call fee before a booked window becomes a rolling truck. Same-day emergency work and scheduled maintenance can share one board.

HOW IT WORKS

How field service scheduling software works in PreDispatch

Field service scheduling software from PreDispatch — part of the eight-feature platform. See the full flow on How it works.

01

Automatic customer updates

When a slot is confirmed or a tech is en route, customer notifications send SMS and email updates. Fewer “where is my tech?” calls. CRM keeps the appointment history with the customer profile for the next visit. Good field service scheduling software keeps the customer in the loop, not just the dispatcher.

02

Scheduling plus dispatch

In PreDispatch, field service scheduling software plans the day; dispatch executes the paid job. Quote approval can lock a deposit before a larger scheduled install. Invoice and payment close the loop when work is done. Use How it works for the end-to-end story and Pricing for plan limits.

03

Setup without a project team

Field service scheduling software should be live the same day. Connect Stripe, import customers, invite technicians, and start placing jobs. Setup in minutes for most shops. Run real appointments through the 14-day Starter trial before you choose Pro or talk to sales about Elite.

04

One scheduler for eight trades

Locksmith, HVAC, plumbing, towing, garage door, appliance repair, electrician, and mobile mechanic teams share the same field service scheduling software, with trade-specific dispatch software pages covering each industry.
