Schedule QuickFix
Real-time schedule reshuffling for small field service teams to avoid customer waiting
- Problem
- Small service teams (repair, cleaning) start the day with a perfect schedule, but one extended job or traffic jam disrupts all appointments, leaving multiple customers waiting. Dispatchers reshuffle from memory, causing errors.
- Solution
- A lightweight scheduling tool that syncs technician locations and job status in real time. When delays occur, it automatically suggests optimal reordering and notifies affected customers with one click, reducing phone calls.
- Users
- Small field service businesses with 2-10 technicians (appliance repair, cleaning, pest control).
- MVP
- Technician mobile check-in status; real-time Gantt view; delay-triggered optimal reorder suggestions; one-click SMS/email to customers; basic customer management.
- Revenue
- Monthly subscription per technician; 14-day free trial.
- Why now
- Small businesses are underserved by complex, expensive scheduling software; mobile and SMS APIs are cheap enough for a lightweight solution.
