JOB SCHEDULING PLATFORM
Commusoft’s diary platform was built with flexibility in mind. With an array of different filters, timeframes, colour choices – and even a map view, you can see your schedule exactly as you need. Our intuitive drag-and-drop diary makes dispatching and rearranging jobs painless. Your dispatchers will understand which slots are available and can smoothly pivot whenever circumstances change. It’s never been easier to track and manage jobs, surveys, holidays, and other engineer appointments.
Maximise Productivity With Route Optimisation
SMART SCHEDULING SOFTWARE
Manually creating efficient schedules for multiple engineers is difficult for any admin. That’s why Commusoft lets you work smarter, not harder. Our route optimisation algorithm processes thousands of routes in seconds, considering existing jobs, engineer skills, shifts, holidays, and estimated drive times. All your admins need to do is select the suggestion they think is best. This guarantees highly efficient routes that fit perfectly into your teams’ schedules.

Improve Efficiency With Optimised Scheduling
Better Manage Customer Expectations
SERVICE WINDOWS
Last-minute changes and delays don’t have to ruin your schedules – or your customer’s day. Commusoft’s service windows give your engineers wiggle room when they’re running early or late. You can book a job at a specific time, e.g. 9:00-10:00, and assign it to the ‘Morning’ service window. Whilst the engineer knows the exact appointment time, the customer is only informed of the ‘Morning’ time frame. Alternatively, you can give customers exact times – the choice is yours.
Reduce Calls Between the Office and Field
ENGINEER MOBILE APP
As soon as a new job is dispatched, your engineers will have everything they need to know through their Commusoft mobile app. Here they can access their diaries and can edit, update, and add jobs as needed. All engineer status updates, such as when they’ve accepted, arrived at, and completed the job, are sent back to the office, ensuring everyone is kept in the loop. Whether from the office or field, your team can schedule more jobs in less time, reducing stress for everyone involved.
