How This Automation Works
Emergency Service Request Received → Nearest Technician Dispatched with Customer Details
Emergency Request Captured
Customer submits emergency locksmith request through any channel (phone, website, app, SMS). The system automatically captures location, contact details, lock type, and urgency level in a standardized format.
Technician Availability Analyzed
The system queries all active technicians in real-time, checking current location via GPS, active job status, availability schedule, and skill certifications to identify qualified responders within the service area.
Optimal Technician Selected
Using distance calculations, current workload, and historical performance data, the system identifies the best-match technician who can respond fastest while considering job complexity requirements and customer preferences.
Job Details Dispatched
Complete service request information is sent to the assigned technician via mobile app push notification and SMS, including customer contact, location with navigation link, lock type, special instructions, and expected pricing range.
Customer Confirmation Sent
Customer receives immediate confirmation via SMS and email containing assigned technician name and photo, estimated arrival time, vehicle description, direct contact number, and real-time tracking link.
Real-Time Status Updates
As the technician travels to the location, automated updates inform the customer of progress milestones (en route, 10 minutes away, arrived). The dispatch board updates in real-time for office coordination and quality monitoring.
How It Works
Emergency lockout situations demand immediate response. This automated dispatch system instantly receives emergency service requests, identifies the closest available locksmith technician based on real-time location data, assigns the job, and sends confirmation details to both the customer and technician. The system automatically captures critical information including location, lock type, and urgency level, then routes this data to your dispatch board while simultaneously notifying the assigned technician via SMS and mobile app. Real-time status updates keep customers informed throughout the service delivery process, reducing anxiety and follow-up calls. Integration with scheduling and GPS tracking ensures optimal technician deployment, minimizing travel time and maximizing billable hours. The system maintains a complete audit trail of all emergency calls, response times, and service outcomes for quality assurance and performance analysis.
The Trigger
Activated when a customer submits an emergency locksmith request through phone, website form, mobile app, or SMS, capturing location, contact details, and emergency type (lockout, break-in, key stuck, etc.).
The Action
The system instantly analyzes technician availability and location, assigns the optimal responder, sends job details to the technician's mobile device, and confirms estimated arrival time to the customer via SMS and email.
