How does the dispatch system prioritize emergency calls?+
Emergency calls are categorized by severity: active water leaks and sewage backups are highest priority, followed by no hot water and failed fixtures. The system evaluates available technicians based on proximity, current job progress, and relevant skills. For the highest-severity emergencies, the system can interrupt a non-emergency scheduled job if the technician is closer, automatically rescheduling the displaced appointment and notifying that client. Emergency response time metrics are tracked per technician and overall, giving you data to continuously improve your response speed.
Can the system manage a flat-rate digital price book?+
Yes. The price book is a central feature that stores every plumbing task with its flat-rate price. Tasks are organized by category — drains, water heaters, faucets, toilets, pipes, gas lines — and can be updated centrally when material costs change. Technicians access the price book on their mobile app during each call, ensuring consistent pricing across your team. The system supports good-better-best options for tasks that warrant them and can include photos and descriptions that help technicians explain each option to clients. Price book analytics show which tasks are performed most often, which generate the most revenue, and which have the highest margins.
