What it actually does on the call

It is not a message taker. It finishes the job the call was for.

01

Triage the urgency

No heat in January with a baby in the house is not the same as a dripping tap. Dispatch7 asks the right three questions and grades it against your own priority rules.

02

Book into a real route

It checks who is qualified, who is nearest, what parts are on which van and what the day already looks like, then commits to a window it can keep.

03

Quote the callout

Reads your price book for the callout fee and standard jobs. Anything outside it is captured as an estimate request instead of a made-up number.

04

Confirm and remind

Texts the window, the tech's name and the fee, then reminds them the morning of. Reschedules by text if the customer replies.

One month, one 9-van shop

Same marketing spend, same crew, same territory. The only change was who answered the phone.
