AI-assisted dispatch without the chaos

A field services operator used AI-assisted scheduling summaries and exception routing to speed dispatch decisions.

The business problem

Dispatch managers chased updates across a scheduling tool, text threads, and a mileage spreadsheet. Bottlenecks were obvious in hindsight but invisible in the moment.

The old workflow

Morning dispatch started with a CSV export, manual reshuffling for sick calls, and Slack threads for “who is closest?” Exceptions lived in a supervisor’s personal notes.
