How This Automation Works
New Installation Job Created → Qualified Crew Automatically Assigned
Job Requirements Captured
When a new installation job enters the system, all requirements are automatically logged including window specifications, installation complexity, required crew size, special equipment needs, customer time windows, and access constraints. The system categorizes the job priority and deadline.
Crew Pool Filtered by Qualifications
The system instantly queries the crew database and filters all teams based on required certifications, experience level, and equipment availability. Only crews with matching qualifications proceed to the next evaluation stage, ensuring compliance with installation standards and safety requirements.
Availability Cross-Referenced with Schedules
Real-time calendar data is analyzed for each qualified crew, identifying available time slots that match the job's required duration and customer availability windows. The system accounts for existing commitments, travel time between jobs, break periods, and end-of-day completion requirements.
Geographic Proximity Calculated
For all available and qualified crews, the system calculates drive time from their current location or next scheduled job to the new installation site. Distance optimization reduces fuel costs and maximizes the number of jobs completed per day by minimizing windshield time.
Optimal Crew Assignment Executed
The highest-ranked crew based on qualifications, availability, and proximity is automatically assigned to the job. Assignment details are instantly recorded in the scheduling system, and the crew's calendar is updated to reflect the new commitment and block the assigned time slot.
Automated Notifications Sent
The assigned crew receives immediate notification via mobile app, SMS, or email with complete job packet including customer contact information, installation specifications, site address with GPS coordinates, expected duration, required materials checklist, and any special customer requests or access instructions.
Customer Confirmation Delivered
The customer automatically receives confirmation of their scheduled installation with crew arrival time, lead installer name and photo, estimated completion time, and preparation instructions. This notification includes a link to track crew arrival in real-time on installation day.
How It Works
Window and door installation companies face constant challenges coordinating crew assignments across multiple job sites. Manual scheduling leads to crew idle time, missed appointments, and inefficient routing. This automated crew assignment system intelligently matches installation jobs with the right crews by analyzing technician certifications, current workload, geographic proximity, and specialized skills. The system continuously monitors job requirements and crew availability, instantly assigning new jobs or reassigning work when schedules change. Real-time updates ensure crews receive immediate notification of their assignments with complete job details, customer information, and site access requirements. By eliminating the manual coordination burden, installation managers can focus on quality control and customer relationships while the system optimizes crew utilization and reduces travel time between jobs.
The Trigger
When a new window or door installation job is added to the scheduling system with specific requirements for crew size, expertise level, equipment needs, and completion timeline, the assignment process begins immediately.
The Action
The system analyzes all available crews, compares their certifications and current schedules against job requirements, calculates optimal routing, and assigns the best-matched crew while sending instant notifications with complete job details and driving directions.

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Scheduling Bottlenecks
Remove the manual coordination burden that keeps dispatch managers on the phone for hours each day. Assignments that previously took 10-15 minutes of phone calls and schedule checking now happen in seconds, freeing managers to focus on customer service and quality control.
Maximize Crew Utilization
Intelligent geographic routing and availability optimization ensures crews spend maximum time installing and minimum time driving between jobs. By reducing travel time and eliminating idle periods between assignments, each crew completes significantly more installations per week.
Reduce No-Shows and Delays
Automated notifications with real-time updates ensure crews have complete job information before they leave for the site. Clear communication about appointment times, customer expectations, and site requirements eliminates confusion that leads to missed or delayed installations.
Match Skills to Job Requirements
Never assign an under-qualified crew to a complex installation again. Automatic skill matching ensures every job is handled by certified technicians with the right expertise, reducing callbacks, improving installation quality, and maintaining warranty compliance.
Accelerate Response to Schedule Changes
When emergencies occur or customers need to reschedule, the system immediately identifies alternative crews and executes reassignments without manual intervention. What once required hours of phone tag and schedule juggling now happens automatically with immediate notifications to all affected parties.
