Field Service Dispatch Agent
Matches incoming field service requests to the best-available technician based on skill, location, parts availability, and SLA priority in real time.
Dispatchers manually matching service requests to technicians typically rely on gut feel and phone calls, resulting in mismatched skill assignments, excessive drive time, and missed SLA windows especially during high call volume
Technicians often arrive on-site without the right parts because dispatch didn't check inventory beforehand, forcing a second trip and doubling resolution time
Emergency or high-priority tickets can get stuck in the same queue as routine requests without proper triage
This agent automatically triages incoming requests by urgency, matches them to the best-fit available technician considering skill, location, and parts readiness, and continuously rebalances the day's schedule as new tickets and delays occur, improving first-time fix rates and SLA compliance
The agent receives incoming service requests from the ticketing system, call center transcripts, or customer portal, and uses an LLM to classify urgency and required skill set from the ticket description. It cross-references technician location, current schedule, skill certifications, and van parts inventory to score and rank the best-fit technician for each job, accounting for drive time and SLA deadlines. Assignments are pushed to the technician's mobile app, and the agent continuously monitors job progress, automatically re-dispatching or reprioritizing when a technician runs long or a higher-priority emergency ticket arrives.
