Implementation evidence

Data and launch scope

The first pilot can sit beside the field-service platform. Import jobs and technician capacity, then use the board to expose assignment risk, parts blockers, and ETA message readiness.

Service jobs export: 40 to 160 open jobs
Technician roster: 8 to 60 technician records
Parts holds: 10 to 80 parts-held job rows

Automation path

Automate dispatch risk, customer ETA preparation, and parts-hold escalation.

The pilot should keep urgent jobs moving by turning schedule risk, route blockers, and parts holds into visible dispatcher actions.

Unassigned urgent job alert: Move job into dispatch risk and create manager review task.
ETA message preparation: Prepare ETA or delay message for dispatcher approval.
Parts hold route block: Flag route risk and notify parts coordinator before route sequence is finalized.
