Field services · Waste, trades, routes

Bookings in your customers’ words. Routes that keep up.

Customers text in shorthand, at all hours, and every message has to be turned into a job, a site and a stop on someone’s route. BonEcho builds Proctor into the field-service system you already run, so dispatch spends the morning approving routes instead of re-typing them.

The situation

Where a dispatcher’s day goes.

Bookings arrive as texts, emails and calls, in whatever shorthand the customer uses, and each one has to become a job, a site and a stop on someone’s route.

Every booking is typed twice.

A text, an email or a voicemail has to be read, matched to a customer and a site, and entered into the system by hand.

Routes go stale by mid-morning.

A new stop or a cancelled one means re-planning the day, so routes drift from where the drivers really are.

Requests wait for someone to read them.

A text that arrives at 7:40 sits until a person has time to decode it, match it and type it in.

The agent does the routine and records what happened. The moment that needs a person is marked.

  1. Customer

    Texts “crush the bins friday.”

  2. Proctor

    Recognises the customer and the site, and books the visit.

  3. Proctor

    Re-plans Friday’s route around the new stop.

    Reviews the updated route and approves it.

The rules

What Proctor does on its own, and what the dispatcher keeps.

Proctor takes the typing and the re-planning. The dispatcher keeps the decisions.

It books from plain words.

Proctor recognises the customer and the site from a message like “crush the bins friday” and records the job.

It re-plans, a person approves.

When a stop is added, Proctor re-plans the route and the dispatcher reviews it before drivers see it.

It works in your system.

Jobs, customers, sites and pricing come from and go back to the field-service system you already run.

Anything unclear goes to a person.

If a customer has several sites and has not said which, Proctor asks. If its plain-rule checks disagree with it, a person reviews the request.

How Proctor works
Field services questions

What owners ask before they book.

Can customers book a service visit by text message?

Yes. Proctor reads bookings sent by text or email in the customer’s own words, matches them to the customer and site, and records the job in your field-service system.

Does the dispatcher still approve the route?

Yes. Proctor re-plans the route around each new stop, and the dispatcher reviews and approves it.

Do we need new dispatch software?

No. Proctor works inside the field-service system you already run, using your customers, sites and pricing.
