Outsourced dispatch for a locksmith in Livingston County

It is early on a Monday in July in Livingston County. Your dispatcher just texted that they are sick, the weekend calls are stacked up, every tech is in the shop waiting for an address, and you are trying to build the board from the driver's seat.

With outsourced dispatch, someone who does this all day is on your board before the first truck rolls. They sort calls by priority, skill and drive time, send techs their first jobs, confirm arrival windows and move things around when a job runs long.

You get to run the business instead of the board. Techs spend more of the day on jobs and less on the road, people get honest arrival times, and the next sick day is just a normal Monday.

Outsourced dispatch explained for locksmiths in Livingston County

What outsourced dispatch means for a locksmith

Outsourced dispatch puts trained dispatchers on your board from a remote desk. They work in your field software, assign calls, talk to techs and keep customers updated. You keep control of the rules, and they handle the hour-by-hour moves.

What drives the cost of dispatch services

Price follows how many techs you run, how many calls you dispatch each day and the hours you need covered. Emergency coverage and phone booking on top of dispatch add to it. Once we understand your board, we set a fixed monthly fee.

Outsourced dispatch vs an in-house dispatcher

A great in-house dispatcher who knows every tech is hard to beat, and just as hard to replace. Outsourced dispatch gives you coverage that does not depend on one person and fills in during sick days, vacations and growth spurts. Many shops use both, with us covering the gaps.

Dispatching in ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and Jobber

Each platform handles the board differently, from drag-and-drop schedules to capacity planning. Our dispatchers work inside your platform so every change shows up for your techs right away. If your setup has gaps, we point them out and help fix them.

Cutting drive time across Livingston County

Freeway backups and long county lines can eat a tech's day. Good dispatch groups jobs by area, plans around rush hour and keeps a tech nearby when an emergency is likely. Small routing choices add up to more jobs done by the end of the week.

Outsourced dispatch options compared

Owner or manager dispatching

You know every tech, but you are stuck on the board when you should be selling, hiring or out on a job.

One in-house dispatcher

Great when they are there, but sick days, vacations and turnover leave the board uncovered.

Rebuild Detroit

Trained dispatchers in your software, on your rules, covering the hours you choose so the board never depends on one person.
