How This Automation Works
New Installation Job Created → Qualified Crew Automatically Assigned
Job Details Captured
When a new window or door installation job enters your system, all relevant details are automatically extracted—including property location, window/door specifications, installation complexity, required certifications, preferred time windows, and customer priority level.
Crew Database Evaluated
The system queries your crew database to identify all teams and individual installers, retrieving their current skill certifications, equipment access, geographic location, today's schedule, and availability windows for the requested installation timeframe.
Matching Algorithm Applied
Each available crew is scored using your customized weighting criteria—technical qualifications (40%), proximity to job site (25%), current workload (20%), historical performance (10%), and equipment availability (5%). The algorithm calculates optimal matches in real-time.
Best Crew Assigned
The crew with the highest score is automatically assigned to the job. The system updates their calendar, blocks off the time slot, and adjusts their daily capacity counters to prevent overbooking and ensure realistic scheduling.
Notifications Dispatched
Instant notifications are sent to the assigned crew via mobile app, SMS, or email with complete job details—customer contact information, property address with navigation link, window/door specifications, installation instructions, and any special requirements or site access codes.
Stakeholders Updated
The system automatically updates all relevant systems and stakeholders—the customer receives assignment confirmation with crew details and ETA, the sales team gets status updates, the office dashboard reflects current assignments, and project managers can track progress in real-time.
How It Works
Window and door installation companies face constant scheduling challenges—matching the right crew with the right job while considering certifications, location, equipment, and daily capacity. Manual crew assignment creates delays, miscommunications, and inefficient routing. This intelligent auto-assignment system evaluates incoming installation requests against crew profiles, skills databases, GPS locations, and calendar availability to instantly assign the most qualified team. The system considers job complexity (commercial vs residential, custom vs standard), required certifications (lead-safe, high-rise), specialized equipment needs, and travel time optimization. When jobs are created or modified, the system automatically evaluates all available crews, scores them based on predefined criteria, and assigns the optimal match while sending instant notifications to field teams. For rush jobs or cancellations, the system can reassign crews dynamically, ensuring maximum utilization and customer satisfaction. Integration with your existing job management, CRM, and mobile workforce tools ensures seamless coordination across your entire operation.
The Trigger
When a window or door installation job is added to your system—whether from sales orders, customer requests, or project management tools—the automation immediately captures job details including location, window/door types, installation complexity, timeline requirements, and any special certifications needed.
The Action
The system evaluates all available crews against job requirements, considering technical skills, certifications, current location, daily workload, and availability windows. It calculates the optimal match based on weighted scoring criteria, assigns the crew to the job, updates scheduling calendars, and sends instant mobile notifications to the assigned team with job details, customer information, and navigation instructions.
