Four-hour windows confirmed and narrowed the morning of
A tech who drives to an empty house loses an hour. The agent confirms the day before, gives the narrower time the morning of, and moves anyone who won't be home before the van leaves.
Repair visits booked tomorrow and today's route once it's set.
Confirms, gives a narrower time, reminds about access and clearing space, rebooks.
A route of homes where someone will open the door.
How it works
- Confirms the day before
The window, the appliance and the issue, and asks that someone over 18 will be home.
- Asks for space
Clear the front of the fridge, empty the washer drum, put pets away. From your list for that job.
- Narrows it the morning of
Once the route is set, she calls or texts with the tech's rough time, like "between 10 and 11".
- Rebooks on the spot
Can't be home? She offers two new windows and the slot goes to someone else.
- Handles a late tech
If the route slips, she lets the next customers know before they start wondering.
- Marks the route
Confirmed, moved and not answering, so dispatch sees where the tech is going.
