Dispatch

Dispatch

The Dispatch component provides a set of user interfaces, tools and processes that have a dramatic impact on the way your business responds to and manages support and field service calls. In its full configuration, ServicePlus Dispatch supports auto call creation (via our web-based e-service product), auto assignment and scheduling (technician assignment logic), auto page and auto escalation (through e-mail and pager notifications). Seamless integration with Logbook's work order / job promotes bi-directional notification between all system processes. All this with user interfaces that are clean and highly visual, and continue our tradition of providing a single point of entry to all ServicePlus functions and processes.
