SCHEDULE ENGINE IS YOUR 24/7 DIGITAL CSR

Just imagine offering your home services customers smart online repair and sales scheduling. Picture a system that automatically confirms their appointments through both text and voice. And what if it could even give your customers an ETA and a virtual introduction to their technician on the day of service? Schedule Engine does all this and much more—all while reducing your cost per appointment.

Why you need it now

Why do contractors need Schedule Engine?

Take real appointments online.

By now, most of us expect to be able to schedule an appointment, or place an order with a few taps or clicks. Schedule Engine lets your customers accurately book their own services based on your actual availability from your website, through your own custom mobile app, or right from your social media pages. In your world, the Schedule Engine dashboard keeps your dispatchers in control at every step.

Deliver a modern experience.

Automated text and voice confirmations show your customer that you value their time, while saving time for your CSRs, and cutting down on wasted trips for your techs. On the day of service, by simply watching for changes in job status, Schedule Engine keeps your customers in the know and up to speed—even going so far as to provide technician tracking and profiles, invoices and payments, and even reviews.

Keep them coming back.

When you can consistently deliver a crisp, connected and professional experience, your customers will take notice. They will stick around and furthermore, they’ll spread the word to friends and family. These trusted recommendations are far and away the most effective way to win new customers. Schedule Engine sets you up to give your customers the convenience and visibility they now expect to have through their devices.

Customer experience

One of our plumbing techs just left a customer’s house who’d scheduled their appointment online. The customer praised the scheduling option the entire time our tech was there. He said it was super easy and made him feel in control. The time and detail your team has poured into Schedule Engine is being seen now by our customer base and they love it!

HERE’S WHAT YOUR CUSTOMERS WILL EXPERIENCE

Scheduling through your website.

97% of consumers search for local contractors online. It is absolutely critical for them to be able to schedule right from your website when they get there. Schedule Engine’s custom branded web widget integrates seamlessly into your website so visitors can quickly and easily book your services at any time—without having to make a phone call.

Your own app

Built for speed and ease of use.

The average person only needs about a tenth of a second to process a visual scene. With that in mind, we designed issue selection around a visual “room view,” allowing customers to pick common repairs more immediately than by finding them in a list. This is just one example of the thoughtfulness and research we put into designing a booking flow that your customers will be able to complete quickly and efficiently.

Show and tell

See what your customer sees.

Most homeowners struggle to accurately describe their issue over the phone—it’s one big reason why they don’t want to call. Schedule Engine makes it simple for them to capture and upload videos and photos, providing you with better information without putting the customer on the spot. Now your customer is more comfortable and your technicians have fewer return visits because you can send the right technician with the right equipment the first time.

Self-serve booking

Self-service scheduling you control.

Schedule Engine looks at actual technician availability to present your customers with a calendar of free time slots for them to choose from. Or if you prefer, you can set scheduling up as requests for first available or a preferred time. However you choose to offer self-service booking to your customers, Schedule Engine was built to be flexible enough to adapt to your business practices and to keep your CSRs and dispatchers in complete control at all times.

Automated texting

Simple automated communications.

Your customers have been conveniently confirming their doctor appointments, haircuts, and more by text message for some time now. If your current field management system can’t do this for your service calls, Schedule Engine can help you get with the times. And our text messaging (SMS) and automated voice calling systems don’t just confirm appointments and job site access. You can also use them to remind customers to schedule upcoming seasonal maintenance, notify them that their technician is en route, that the job is done and payment is due, and even prompt for an online review or NPS score.

Realtime job status

Up to the minute insights.

At this point, who hasn’t tracked an order online? We’re all used to being able to click and tap our way to the latest information anytime we want it, whether it’s ride-sharing or pizza delivery. Schedule Engine brings this experience to home services, letting your customers stay connected every step of the way through a virtual appointment card that offers technician tracking and profiles, job status and payments—online or in-app, from anywhere, anytime.

How it works for you

How does Schedule Engine work?

By creating jobs in your management software, then triggering events based on changes to those jobs, Schedule Engine extends both the inbound and outbound capabilities of the systems you’re already using.

CONVERTING LEADS TO JOBS

When your customers request work through the web widget embedded in your website, or from the mobile app we publish for your business, Schedule Engine’s cloud-based services work with your existing field service management software to automatically create work orders—complete with customer data, job codes and notes. Your personnel can then manage those appointments just as they do today. Schedule Engine is engineered to work the way you do, with minimal impact on your current workflows.

TURBO-BOOSTING customer experience

Once the job is booked, Schedule Engine keeps your customers informed and engaged every step of the way. By watching for changes in job status in your field service management software, Schedule Engine can automatically confirm appointments, notify customers that their tech is on the way, introduce your customer to the tech coming to their home with a profile, provide monitoring of the GPS location of the van, let them know when their job is complete and even ask for an online review.

We book sales for you, too!
