Call Dispatch Software for field service contractors

Dispatcher

Call Dispatch Software for Field Service Contractors

Every time a phone rings in your back office, your dispatcher needs to be prepared to convert the call into a job. The responsibility is more than what it may seem. Most callers get an impression of the business within the first seven seconds of a phone call. Besides, it is not wrong to believe that those seven seconds determine a missed opportunity or a new customer.

Except, how about knowing in advance who is calling? Having the customer name, address, job history, and more details provides an edge to the dispatcher while communicating with an existing customer. If it is a new customer, greet them by name and take them by surprise with personalized interaction.

As per internal research by SmartServ, the team noticed that most field service businesses have at least five calling numbers. One of our clients has 24 calling numbers! It highlights how important it is to manage each call efficiently.

Thus, for starters, this is where a call dispatch software pitches itself in the system. At the same time, it has way more to offer than the basic phone system.

How does a call dispatch software work?

With every incoming call, a call dispatch software helps dispatchers in:

  1. Accommodating incoming jobs
  2. Speeding up the scheduling process
  3. Quickly assigning the right technician for the job
  4. Communicating the right tools and information to the technician

Thus, users do not have to go through the past records every time. And, the dispatcher gets enough information, or at least the name to greet (for a new caller), even before picking up the call.
