The Broken System – Why We Built Dispatch
Home & Property, Construction, and Manufacturing industries have long struggled with inefficiencies in managing service providers. Dispatch was originally designed to bridge this gap—helping businesses streamline how they connect with, manage, and optimize their external service providers.
But as we grew alongside our customers, it became clear that the problem wasn’t just about improving service management—it was about transforming it entirely. Over time, Dispatch has evolved from a field service tool into the first full-service orchestration platform—a solution that empowers businesses to not only coordinate service execution, but to intelligently manage, scale, and optimize their entire service network.
The Chaos of Traditional Service Management
The traditional methods of managing service providers in the construction industry have long been fraught with challenges. Companies often rely on a patchwork of communication tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes that create chaos and inefficiencies. This lack of cohesion leads to missed appointments, delayed projects, and ultimately, dissatisfied customers.
Moreover, the absence of real-time job tracking and visibility into provider performance makes it nearly impossible for companies to maintain high service standards. Without a centralized system, decision-makers are left in the dark, unable to respond swiftly to issues or optimize their operations effectively.
And while early versions of Dispatch helped solve many of these challenges, our customers’ needs—and the complexity of managing modern service networks—quickly outgrew traditional tools.
A Founder’s Frustration Sparks Innovation
The inception of Dispatch can be traced back to a founder’s frustrating experience with poor service. Faced with unreliable contractors, delayed timelines, and opaque processes, he realized that these issues were not isolated but endemic across industries relying on third-party service providers. This frustration catalyzed the idea of creating a solution that could bring order to the chaos.
This personal experience highlighted the urgent need for a system that could provide businesses with better control over their service operations. The founder’s vision was to build a platform that gave businesses full visibility and control over the entire service lifecycle—from start to finish—particularly when work was being performed by independent contractors.
That vision planted the seed for what Dispatch would eventually become—not just a management platform, but an orchestration engine for the entire service ecosystem.
Introducing Dispatch: A New Era of Control
Dispatch was born out of the necessity to address these pressing issues. The platform was designed to connect businesses seamlessly with their service providers, offering real-time job tracking, performance metrics, and streamlined communication channels. This new era of control allows companies to manage their service operations with unprecedented efficiency.
By offering a centralized system, Dispatch eliminates the silos that traditionally hamper service management. Companies can now gain full visibility into every aspect of their service operations, ensuring consistency and reliability across all projects.
This was the first step. As more companies adopted Dispatch and scaled their use cases, the platform grew to support not just visibility and coordination—but a new operating model for field service itself.
