Assign the right crew to the right job. Optimize routes. Track your team in real time. Keep customers informed — all from one app.
QuoteIQ’s dispatching tools let home service contractors assign crews to jobs based on location and availability, optimize routes to reduce drive time, track employees with live GPS, and automatically notify customers — all built natively into the Elite and Max plans with no add-ons or integrations required.
Stop juggling phone calls and spreadsheets. QuoteIQ’s visual calendar lets you assign jobs to specific crew members or entire teams with a tap. See who’s available, who’s nearby, and who’s best suited for the job — then dispatch them instantly with all the details they need.
QuoteIQ’s route optimization engine calculates the most efficient sequence for your daily stops, saving 20–30% on fuel costs. Combined with Route Density Zones — a feature no competitor offers — you can see exactly where your jobs are geographically clustered and plan entire service days around high-density areas.
QuoteIQ’s GEO Location Tracker uses phone-based GPS to show your entire field team on a live map. No hardware to install. No per-vehicle fees. Just real-time visibility into who’s on-site, who’s in transit, and who’s available for the next dispatch. Tracking pauses automatically on breaks and stops at clock-out to respect employee privacy.
No-shows and “when will you be here?” calls are a thing of the past. QuoteIQ sends automated appointment reminders before the job and On The Way text notifications when your tech is en route — reducing no-shows by up to 60%. Customers can confirm, reschedule, or review job details from their own portal.
QuoteIQ’s AI Autopilot lets you manage your dispatch operations using natural language. Instead of clicking through menus, just tell Autopilot what you need. Move entire days of work, reschedule a customer’s full job list, or batch-invoice a day of completed jobs — all in one sentence.
Great dispatching isn’t just about where to send people — it’s about keeping everyone on the same page. QuoteIQ’s built-in Team Communication gives you one-on-one and group messaging, crew creation for logical team grouping, and the ability to assign jobs and events directly from the chat. No third-party messaging apps needed.
