Job Dispatch and Tradies Assignment Automation
Summary
Job Dispatch Automation is a system that automates the end-to-end process of assigning field jobs to the right tradespeople. The system receives incoming job requests, matches each job to available tradies based on location, skill set, and current workload, sends assignment notifications, and logs all activity in real time. All communication flows directly through the company's preferred messaging channel.
Arach Strategy designs and builds this system for operations teams managing high volumes of field jobs with limited coordination capacity.
Challenge
Operations teams relying on manual dispatch face several concrete problems:
Assigning 10 to 20 jobs manually takes 2 to 4 hours of coordinator time per day
Matching errors happen frequently when job skill requirements and tradie availability are tracked in separate spreadsheets
No visibility into real-time job status means coordinators spend additional time chasing updates
Unbalanced workload distribution leads to some tradies being overloaded while others sit idle
Urgent jobs get delayed because the assignment process has no priority logic built in
Solution
This system is built using an AI Agent connected to job management data, availability tracking, and a notification channel. Here is how it works:
Job intake — a new job request is received via form, CRM, or direct input, including job type, location, and required skills
Tradie matching — the AI Agent cross-references available tradies against job requirements, proximity, and current assignment load
Priority scoring — each job is ranked automatically based on urgency, SLA window, and client tier
Automated dispatch — the matched tradie receives a job notification with full details instantly
Status tracking — job acceptance, en-route, and completion updates are logged without manual input from coordinators
Results
30 jobs dispatched per hour without coordinator intervention
2 to 4 hours of daily manual coordination replaced by automated assignment
Matching accuracy improved with skill-based and location-based filtering
Coordinators shifted from administrative tasks to handling escalations and exceptions only
Operations teams no longer spend their day manually cross-referencing spreadsheets. Time previously used for dispatch coordination is redirected toward quality control and client relationship management.
