About Dispatch
Dispatch is a field service software for companies that need to schedule and dispatch field service technicians, and manage jobs from start-to-finish. Organizations can track field workers, invoice customers, and effectively communicate with the team. The platform provides enterprises with a mobile extension of the system and offers a set of self-service products.
Dispatch enables organizations to keep all job-related information in one place, as well as keep track of notes, documents, messages, and more. Users can effectively choose and schedule field workers with the appropriate skill set, availability, and proximity to a job. Dispatchers can track field workers’ real-time locations in a single, aggregated view, as well as communicate with them while in the field via instant messaging.
Dispatch enables field workers to set their working hours, and dispatchers can send instant notifications to them when assigned to a new job. Users can stay on top of what’s going on in the field by getting instant status alerts in real-time, on any mobile device. Customers using Dispatch can get an ETA (estimated time of arrival) of a field worker and view their current location in real-time, as well as communicate directly via phone or text before a job.
Organizations can create branded invoices to send by email, and field workers can accept payments at the job. Customers can rate the service and leave feedback after work has been completed. The Dispatch platform integrates with a wide variety of third-party tools that help automate tedious tasks, such as SAP, Oracle, Quickbooks, Stripe, Xero, Twilio, Balanced Payments, FieldOne, and many more.

My whole team is well familiarized and use dispatch on every order. It is a great communication route with Home warranty companies that we work with who are affiliated with Dispatch me app. Very convenient and fast method to relay information to them directly without the long phone hold up times.
Pros
The best thing about this software is that it is super easy to work with, can put in notes for tech,customer,office staff, allows user to determine who they want to share the information with.
Cons
Sometimes difficult to upload information for techs out in the files due to internet reception. Would be great to be able to access it at all times.

I feel like I'm ahead of the technological game against my competitors. It makes my small 3-man company appear like a giant, which improves my image to customers and their comfort towards working with small businesses.
Pros
I enjoy Dispatch.me very much. It has helped streamline my appointments for my technicians as well as streamline my flow of work. The ability to talk to customers via messaging is not only easy, but vital to some consumers who have a difficult time hearing on the phone or getting voicemails. It's also been a good backup to my calling system, showing the customer proof that I've attempted contact in several other ways besides just telephone, which is sometimes disputed.
Cons
At first, the changes made to Dispatch.me were large and very disruptive. Years ago when it first released, it felt like it was crashing often. Now recently, the changes have been very subtle and easy to adjust to. Sometimes there are glitches, but they're not usually work-altering problems, and they're fixed relatively quickly.

Price per month excessive for 'subscription features-Customer Set Up Quirky
Reviewed on 2017/03/21
Pros
It could be a useful tool if not for the cost.
Gives ability to enter notes for each customer/address.
Gives mapping ability to see where calls already scheduled are located and where new ones are in vicinity.
En Route feature is nice to advise customers you are on the way BUT it is way too aggressive in giving frequent updates to the customer on your every move while on the way.
Keeps status of appointments separated nicely from new to parts on order to completion.
Customers get to respond with review at the completion of each call with a text.
Cons
-Pricing is excessive - very excessive by comparison
-New customer entry is not user friendly. Quirky and sometimes have to try to do it multiple times.
-We are forced to use this app for a home warranty company we do work for free. However, in order to 'upgrade' - to access features we currently have in our other dispatching software app we already had and pay $60 per month for - this one wants $199 per month. So option is to run 2 dispatching software and do double work or pay over 3 times the price for a product we don't find as user friendly as our current one
-EnRoute feature is invasive to privacy and gives too many updates to customers while along the route. Can't use it until you pull up in the driveway to avoid the aggressive following.

How much easier it is to keep track of our jobs and what it happening with them. We switched to Dispatch because we are working for American Home Shield and they use this software and it just made our work for them more streamlined.
Pros
I like how easy it is to use, how quick you can learn how to use it.
Cons
The limited amount of reports that you can print. I can't delete duplicate customers on my own without contacting support to do it for me.

All our customer info is harbored for easy access and to reference back when we run into issues or questions!
Pros
The ease of use and overall organization. Also how there is a way to label jobs and add notes and pictures. Also the fact that is has partnered w/ some of our partnering warranty companies to save us the time of manually entering the job info or ahving to update the warranty portals!
Cons
IT WILL MERGE JOBS THAT ARENT SUPPOSE TO MERGE!! It also does not allow you to search for an invoice by invoice # - you must look up the address or customer, (which can be a huge pain when you have done several jobs for that same client) and then open up everysingle job, check the invoices displayed, then go back and search again, click the 2nd search result.. and so forth. Takes quite a while when you have someone waiting on the phone for an answer to what is suppose to be a quick question.
