In their own words
DispatchCore
DispatchCore is a visual dispatch and job management tool for small field service crews, including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and low-voltage teams. Dispatchers place jobs on technicians’ timelines with drag-and-drop scheduling and see the crew’s schedule and capacity. Technicians update job status in the mobile app, with changes reflected on the dispatch board in real time. When connectivity is unavailable, the app saves status changes and photos on the device and syncs them later. Job records can include before, during, and after photos, as well as customer signatures collected on phones. Users can create estimates and recurring schedules, then turn approved estimates into jobs. DispatchCore syncs invoices and payments with QuickBooks Online. Card payments go to the business’s Stripe account; the maker says it does not see or store card numbers and charges no platform fee during beta. The service runs on Android, iOS, and the web. A founding-member plan is listed at $39 a month, with free use during beta and no contract.
