How This Automation Works
New fence inspection request received → Inspection scheduled and crew dispatched
Capture inspection request from multiple channels
Client submits fence inspection request via website form, email, phone system, or text message. The system extracts property address, fence type, requested timeframe, and special requirements.
Validate property information and service area
The system verifies the property address falls within your service area, checks for existing client records or previous service history, and flags any special access requirements or property notes.
Check crew availability and expertise
Query all crew calendars for availability within the requested timeframe, filter for technicians with fencing expertise, and identify who has capacity for the estimated inspection duration.
Calculate optimal crew assignment
The system analyzes technician locations, existing appointments, travel time to property, specialization match, and workload balance to select the best crew member for the inspection.
Create calendar appointment with full details
Generate calendar event with property address, client contact information, fence type details, estimated duration, and any special instructions. Sync across all connected calendar systems.
Send confirmation to client
Deliver appointment confirmation via email and SMS including scheduled date/time, assigned technician name and photo, contact information, what to expect during the inspection, and easy reschedule link.
Dispatch crew member with property details
Send notification to assigned technician with complete job details, navigation link to property, client contact information, fence specifications, and any relevant service history.
Deliver automated appointment reminders
Send reminder messages to client at 72 hours, 24 hours, and 2 hours before appointment with technician details and easy reschedule option. Send crew reminder 4 hours prior with property details.
Track inspection completion and trigger follow-up
When crew marks inspection complete in the system, automatically initiate estimate generation, client satisfaction survey, and schedule follow-up contact for quote discussion and closing.
How It Works
Managing fence inspection appointments across multiple properties while coordinating crew availability and client preferences creates unnecessary complexity for landscaping businesses. This scheduling solution automatically captures inspection requests from multiple sources, checks crew availability and location, assigns the optimal technician based on expertise and proximity, and sends instant confirmation to clients. The system integrates with your calendar, tracks inspection history, manages follow-up estimates, and ensures your fencing team operates at peak efficiency. By eliminating manual scheduling tasks and double-bookings, you can handle more inspections per week, reduce travel time between sites, and convert more quotes into installations. Every inspection is tracked, documented, and followed up automatically, creating a seamless experience that positions your landscaping business as the most professional fencing service in your market.
The Trigger
The process begins when a client submits an inspection request through your website form, phone system, email, or messaging platform. The system captures property details, fence type, preferred dates, and specific concerns to initiate the scheduling workflow.
The Action
The system automatically checks crew availability, matches the closest qualified technician, creates a calendar appointment, sends confirmation with property details to the crew member, and delivers appointment reminders to the client via SMS and email with technician profile and estimated arrival window.
