The Service Dispatcher turns every request into a clear ticket, suggests the right crew member by skill, location and free time and drafts updates with an arrival window, never an exact time. Your own staff confirm every booking and change, and reports show the week by crew and site. How this differs from the Resourcing Manager (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-resourcing-manager-agent): To find free hours across your projects, use the Resourcing Manager; the Service Dispatcher schedules field jobs for your crews. ## How it works 1. **Request comes in** (When a customer reports a job): A customer or tenant reports a job by phone, email or form. 2. **Ticket created** (As soon as it arrives): It records the details and asks for anything missing. 3. **Schedule suggested** (Once the ticket is complete): It suggests a crew member and a time by skill and location. 4. **Your staff confirm** (you approve) (Before anything is booked): A person on your team approves the booking and any change to it. 5. **Customer updated** (When a visit is booked or moved): The customer gets an update with an arrival window, not an exact time. ## When to use it - **A tenant reports a leak:** A ticket with the details, matched to the nearest plumber on your team. - **A crew member calls in sick:** Suggested changes to the day for your staff to confirm. - **Routine maintenance is due:** Jobs set up and spread across your crews' week. - **A customer asks where the technician is:** A clear update with the current arrival window. ## What you get - Job tickets with full details - Suggested crew schedules - Customer update drafts - A daily and weekly job view - Reports by crew and site ## Example: daily dispatch board Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Book this morning's new requests onto the crews, keep the no-heat calls first, and let customers know when we're coming. This is an illustrative example of the daily dispatch board Service Dispatcher is being built to produce: technicians by skill and area, the day's schedule, how new requests were booked and the customer updates. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented heating and cooling company, with technicians and customers shown only as roles and invented jobs and figures. No real systems or people were involved, and no job was booked or message sent. Run date: 15 October 2026. ### What it found - 23 jobs are booked across six technicians today, filling 41.5 of 48 crew hours, and all three no-heat emergencies have a window before noon. - Eight overnight requests were handled: six booked today by skill and area, one offered Friday, and a gas smell report sent straight to the on-call manager. - When a no-heat job needed an extra part, two later customers got new estimated windows, each confirmed by the office dispatcher before the text went out. ## Guardrails - Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Service Dispatcher is ready for your account. - It never promises an exact arrival time. Customers get a window. - Your own staff confirm every booking and every change. - Emergencies and safety issues go to a person straight away. ## Frequently asked questions ### Should a service business promise exact arrival times? It is safer to give a window and update the customer if it moves, because traffic and earlier jobs change the day. The Service Dispatcher keeps customers posted and never promises an exact arrival time. ### How should a service business match technicians to jobs? By the skills the job needs, where it is and who has free time, with a person confirming the booking. The Service Dispatcher suggests a crew member by skill, location and free time, and your own staff confirm every booking and every change. ### What details should a maintenance request capture? Enough for the crew to arrive ready: the address, access notes and a clear description of the problem. The Service Dispatcher turns each call, email or form into a ticket with those details and asks for anything missing before suggesting a schedule. ### What is AI field service dispatch? It is software help with taking job requests, choosing the right technician and booking the visit. The Service Dispatcher does this by skill and location, and your staff confirm each booking. ### Will it promise customers an arrival time? No. Customers get an arrival window and an update if it moves. ### Who makes the final call on the schedule? Your own staff. Every booking and change is confirmed by a person on your team. ### How is it different from the Resourcing Manager? The Resourcing Manager finds free hours for projects. The Service Dispatcher schedules field jobs. ### Is the Service Dispatcher available now? Not yet. Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Service Dispatcher is ready for your account.
