How This Automation Works
Emergency Drain Service Request Received → Certified Drain Specialist Auto-Assigned and En Route
Capture Emergency Drain Request Details
System receives clog or backup service request through any channel (phone, web, mobile app) and extracts key information including problem type, severity level, property details, and customer priority status. Request is tagged with timestamp and assigned unique service ID.
Analyze Required Specialist Qualifications
Intelligence engine evaluates the drain issue complexity and determines required technician certifications (basic drain cleaning, hydro-jetting, video inspection), necessary equipment (cable machines, jetters, cameras), and estimated job scope to ensure proper specialist matching.
Identify Available Qualified Specialists
System queries real-time technician availability within service radius, filters by required certifications and equipment on vehicle, checks current job status and capacity for additional calls, and calculates travel time from current location to emergency site.
Select Optimal Specialist Match
Matching algorithm scores available specialists based on proximity (30% weight), expertise level (25%), equipment match (20%), customer ratings (15%), and current workload (10%). Top-ranked specialist is automatically selected and assigned the job.
Deploy Specialist and Notify Customer
Complete job packet with customer info, site details, service history, and pricing guidelines transmits to specialist's mobile device. Customer receives automated notification with technician name, photo, credentials, ETA, and tracking link. Dispatch board updates in real-time.
Monitor Job Progress and Completion
System tracks specialist GPS location, sends ETA updates to customer if delays occur, enables two-way communication between customer and technician, and automatically closes dispatch ticket upon job completion with time-stamped documentation.
How It Works
Transform your plumbing dispatch operations with intelligent skill-based routing that automatically assigns drain specialists to emergency clog calls. This system evaluates incoming service requests for drain clogs, backups, and blockages, then instantly identifies and dispatches the most qualified technician based on certifications (hydro-jetting, camera inspection), proximity to the job site, current availability, and equipment on hand. The process eliminates phone tag between dispatchers and field teams, automatically sends job details with customer information and site history to the assigned specialist's mobile device, and updates your scheduling system in real-time. Customers receive automated notifications with technician ETA and profile information, while your team gains visibility into specialist utilization rates and response metrics. Perfect for handling high-volume emergency drain calls during peak seasons or after-hours situations where rapid specialist deployment is critical.
The Trigger
Activates when a new drain clog or backup service request enters the system through phone, web form, customer portal, or emergency hotline. Captures critical details including problem severity (slow drain, complete blockage, sewage backup), property type, and customer priority status.
The Action
The system immediately identifies available drain specialists within the service area, filters by required certifications and equipment (cable machines, hydro-jetters, camera systems), selects the optimal match based on proximity and expertise, sends complete job packet to technician's device, updates dispatch board, and notifies customer with specialist details and arrival window.
Common Use Cases in Plumbing

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Dispatcher Bottlenecks
Remove manual phone coordination between dispatchers and field teams. The system handles specialist selection, job assignment, and customer notifications automatically, freeing dispatchers to focus on complex situations and customer service quality rather than routing logistics.
Slash Emergency Response Times
Reduce average dispatch time from 5-8 minutes to under 60 seconds. Specialists receive instant notifications with complete job details, eliminating back-and-forth communication delays. Faster response times increase emergency call conversion rates and customer satisfaction scores.
Maximize Specialist Utilization
Intelligent routing minimizes drive time between calls by considering geographic proximity and current location. Specialists complete more jobs per shift through optimized scheduling, increasing revenue per technician while reducing fuel costs and vehicle wear.
