ITarian Dispatch:
Assigning technicians requires a careful balance of availability, workloads, and schedule management. Manual or inefficient dispatching processes take time, keeping tickets open—and customers waiting—longer than necessary. ITarian’s Dispatch automates timesheets and dispatch processes to assign tickets to resources in a round-robin or based on availability.
ITarian Dispatch helps you:
- Automate the ticketing process
- Pre-schedule resources to fulfill obligations
- Integrate workflows across the service lifecycle
- Spot trends with data from service histories
- Monitor project status daily
- Manage profitability with tools for tracking and analysis
- Streamline the billing process via automation
Key benefits and capabilities
Fully integrated ticketing and dispatch
View service tickets by account to accelerate service calls, monitor technicians’ schedules on a master calendar, and assign each service call to the best resource.
Automated ticket processing
Configure workflows to streamline ticket processing by automatically converting email alerts into service tickets, queuing the tickets with the appropriate resource, notifying the technician, and escalating issues when needed.
Round-robin or workload-based assignments
Distribute ticket assignments evenly across resources regardless of workload by assigning tickets to technicians in turn, or calculate workloads and assign tickets to the technician with the lightest load.
