How This Automation Works
New Fumigation Service Request Received → Technician Automatically Assigned and Customer Notified
Capture Fumigation Service Request
Customer submits fumigation request through website form, phone system, or customer portal with property details, infestation severity, square footage, and preferred timing. System automatically validates information and calculates estimated treatment duration based on property size and fumigation type.
Assess Requirements and Match Technician
System evaluates certification requirements for specific fumigation method, checks equipment availability, and identifies qualified technicians within service area. Algorithm considers technician expertise levels, current workload, and geographic proximity to optimize assignment.
Generate Optimal Schedule
System blocks appropriate time slots accounting for preparation time, treatment duration, and mandatory waiting periods. For multi-day fumigations, consecutive days are automatically reserved and buffer time is added for equipment setup and ventilation.
Send Preparation Instructions
Automated confirmation email delivers detailed pre-treatment checklist including evacuation requirements, food storage guidelines, plant removal instructions, and pet safety protocols. Calendar invitations are sent to customer and assigned technician with all relevant details.
Dispatch Automated Reminders
System sends timed reminder sequence: 48-hour preparation reminder, 24-hour evacuation notice, 2-hour technician departure notification, and arrival time update. Each message includes specific action items and contact information for questions.
Update Dispatch Board and Route
Assignment automatically appears on dispatch dashboard with all job details, customer contact information, and property access instructions. Route optimization engine sequences multiple appointments to minimize drive time and maximize daily capacity.
Coordinate Post-Treatment Follow-Up
Upon treatment completion, system calculates safe re-entry time based on fumigant type and property ventilation, sends notification to customer with safety verification steps, and automatically schedules follow-up inspection appointment for effectiveness verification.
How It Works
Fumigation services require precise scheduling coordination due to extended treatment times, evacuation requirements, and specialized equipment needs. This automation system handles the entire scheduling workflow from initial customer inquiry through technician dispatch and post-treatment follow-up. It automatically assigns qualified fumigation technicians based on certification requirements, coordinates multi-day treatments, sends pre-treatment preparation instructions to customers, and manages re-entry timing notifications. The system integrates with your existing CRM, calendar systems, and communication platforms to create a seamless scheduling experience that reduces no-shows, optimizes technician routes, and ensures compliance with safety protocols. Automated reminders about preparation requirements and evacuation procedures improve treatment success rates while reducing last-minute cancellations.
The Trigger
When a customer submits a fumigation service request through your website, phone system, or customer portal, the automation instantly captures all property details, infestation type, square footage, and urgency level to begin the scheduling process.
The Action
The system immediately checks technician availability, certification requirements, and geographic proximity to assign the optimal fumigation specialist. It generates appointment confirmations with detailed preparation instructions, schedules follow-up inspections, and sends calendar invitations to all parties while updating your dispatch board in real-time.
