How This Automation Works
New roof inspection request received → Inspection automatically scheduled and technician dispatched
Capture Inspection Request
System automatically receives and parses roof inspection requests from website forms, customer portal, phone system, CRM entries, or sales team submissions, extracting property details, customer preferences, and urgency indicators.
Evaluate Technician Availability
Check real-time calendar availability for all qualified roof inspectors, considering their certifications, equipment, current workload, geographic territory, and travel time from previous appointments to identify potential scheduling windows.
Match Optimal Inspector
Algorithm assigns the best-fit technician based on proximity to inspection site, relevant expertise for roof type, current schedule efficiency, performance metrics, and customer preferences to optimize both service quality and operational efficiency.
Reserve Calendar Slots
Automatically block appropriate time slots across all connected calendar systems including technician mobile calendar, dispatch board, customer portal, and resource management platform to prevent double-bookings and scheduling conflicts.
Generate Confirmation Communications
Create and send personalized confirmation emails and SMS messages to customer with appointment details, preparation instructions, and technician profile, while sending dispatch notifications to assigned inspector with job details, property information, and optimized route.
Update Connected Systems
Synchronize appointment data across CRM, project management platform, billing system, and reporting dashboards, creating service tickets, updating project timelines, and triggering any follow-up processes in the solar installation pipeline.
How It Works
Solar installation companies face significant challenges coordinating roof inspection schedules across multiple technicians, locations, and customer availability windows. This automation solution streamlines the entire inspection scheduling process by automatically capturing customer requests, checking technician availability, assigning qualified inspectors based on location and expertise, sending confirmation notifications, and updating all stakeholders in real-time. By eliminating manual calendar management and dispatcher bottlenecks, solar companies can process more inspection requests, reduce scheduling errors, and accelerate project timelines from initial inquiry to installation proposal.
The Trigger
When a customer submits a roof inspection request through web form, phone system, CRM, or sales platform, the system immediately captures all relevant details including property address, roof specifications, preferred time windows, and urgency level to initiate the scheduling process.
The Action
The system checks technician availability and qualifications, assigns the optimal inspector based on location proximity and expertise, blocks the calendar slot, sends confirmation emails to customer and technician with appointment details and directions, creates service tickets, and updates the project management system with scheduled inspection date.
