An inspection can turn up repair work that competes with scheduled maintenance. The finding, its priority and the follow-up owner stay on the record while the return visit is planned. _Runs the operation_ ### O&M manager Weigh urgent repairs against planned maintenance using alert severity, asset details and due dates.

Integrations can bring in alerts from your monitoring systems. _Illustration: A Skedulo panel on a hatched ground: Salesforce work order 00012345, an annual system inspection for Sunline Energy Co-op at 2900 Larimer St, Denver - work type Inspection, priority Medium, starting Wed 13 Aug at 4:00 PM for 2 hours in Denver Metro, Helen Pryor the contact. Its fields land as it is recorded and the real-time event sends it to Skedulo: Received by Skedulo._ _[ 02 ]_ ### Technician qualifications Check certification, route, availability, and workload before assigning the visit. _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo's options for covering JOB-4841 on a pale blue panel, ranked by earliest arrival: Bridget Hanley first and picked, 2:30 PM with 30 minutes of overtime, then Gloria Benitez, 3:45 PM and 6 minutes away, then Aaron Feldman, 5:22 PM after his rooftop job. The dispatcher tells Tempo what matters in his own words - Keep Dana's window, then least travel - and Tempo re-ranks: Gloria rises to the top, picked for the least travel, Bridget drops to second, and Aaron misses Dana's window. The ranking now reads Dana's window, then least travel_ _[ 03 ]_ ### Routes and appointments Plan around travel time, site access, and inspection priority. _Illustration: A Skedulo job panel for JOB-4821, the inverter replacement on unit 2, open on travel: a map of Gloria Benitez's drive across Denver to the site, 5.8 miles arriving 2:42 PM, 22 minutes out, with a 6 minute delay in heavy traffic._ _[ 04 ]_ ### Inspection findings Complete mobile checklists and capture readings, photos, and any required signatures. _Illustration: A Skedulo mobile card headed Inspected assets, one row per asset recorded on the visit, each arriving in turn with its count: AST-1163 on the ground floor riser N/A, AST-1152 in the level 3 plant space FAIL in solid rose, AST-1147 in the same plant space PASS in green - the conditions in one column on the right, the failed asset standing out without reading a word_ _[ 05 ]_ ### Corrective work An inspection finding can trigger an assigned follow-up task with a due date through a workflow you define. _Illustration: Skedulo workflow canvas, close on one IF, THEN, ELSE: Repair approved, its rule Decision is Approved, is checked green as a test run passes it. The run takes Then, drawing the edge in blue to Create a follow-up job, Name Replace isolator, Duration 2 hours, which runs and is checked, then on into End, which fills green. The Else edge to Tell the dispatcher, To Mark Doherty, goes quiet and that card fades_ _[ 06 ]_ ### Service history Inspection results, repair records and outstanding work can sync to asset, service and reporting systems through integrations. _Illustration: A Skedulo panel on a hatched ground: the reconciliation of Wednesday's 64 completed jobs against Salesforce, Workday and Finance - the annual system inspection, a string fault diagnosis, the inverter replacement on unit 2 and the isolator and switchboard labels. One work order is still In Progress in Salesforce; it is flagged, Resend is pressed, and the day reads 64 of 64 jobs in step._ _Tempo_ ## Ask Tempo about the maintenance schedule. Review due inspections, urgent requests and repair assignments with Tempo. It works with the service records and actions enabled for your team. [Meet Tempo](https://www.skedulo.com/product/tempo/) _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo working an asset alert from its issue: inverter 2 on Sunline Energy Co-op's rooftop at 2900 Larimer St stops exporting with an isolation fault, taking a third of the array offline, and the service agreement wants a technician booked within the hour. The issue lands in red on a blank screen and becomes the task's header; Tempo reads the alert, the rooftop technicians and the site record, and the context panel opens on the site map and the inverter. Tempo picks Curtis Mensah; once started, it books him for 8:00 AM, requests the permit to work and sends him the fault_ _Solar O&M_ ## Maintenance planning with asset context. ### Priorities and due dates Use alert severity, asset details and due dates from connected systems to weigh urgent work against planned maintenance. _Illustration: Skedulo scheduling objectives card, marked Active: three objectives in rank order - service level, keep every promised window; travel time, the shortest drive between jobs; resource use, fill each technician's day before adding one - and the rules a match must pass, licensed for the job type and within 25 miles of home base checked, overtime to close a gap left off_ ### Qualification and route matching Use recorded skills and certifications, route fit, availability, and service requirements to plan assignments. _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo on a soft blue card. The dispatcher has asked, Hey Tempo, who can take Thursday's 22-panel install, and Tempo answers: Curtis is booked until 3:00 PM; Aaron also holds working at heights and is free from 8:00 AM. A slim strip under the answer shows Curtis's three jobs across his Thursday, and the message box waits for a follow-up._ ### Inspections on Mobile Technicians can view asset details and complete your checklists, recording readings, photos and findings at the site. _Illustration: Skedulo mobile inspection form card: Enclosure intact and Labels legible marked Pass, then Isolator latches off marked Fail, and a dashed section opens under it - the Issue field, typed in as Isolator will not latch off, and a Fault photo field that takes its requirement: its empty tile turns rose and reads Required to submit_ ### Repair and review workflows Define which findings create follow-up tasks, who receives them and what review is required. _Illustration: Skedulo workflow card, Failed check follow-up, running on JOB-4803: three steps light in turn, each tile blue as it runs and green when done, a wire filling between them - Status updated at 5:17 PM, asset AST-1152 set to Awaiting follow-up; Approval requested, waiting for Wade Brennan, then approved by him at 5:18 PM; Follow-up job created at 5:18 PM, JOB-4871, Replace isolator_ ### Connected asset records Use integrations to share inspection and repair results with asset, service, and reporting systems. _Illustration: Skedulo integrations card, Connected: the Skedulo mark in the middle of a small map, Salesforce (work orders) and Workday (worker details) wired in on the left, Salesforce (job status) and Finance (invoicing) wired out on the right. A packet runs each wire in turn - the work order that becomes JOB-4803 in, the technicians' hours and leave in, the completed job back to Salesforce and on to Finance for invoicing - and each wire stays lit_ ## See how ADT Solar scaled appointment scheduling. - **Before** - Manual scheduling across spreadsheets, emails, calls. - Reps limited to about 3 appointments a day. - **With Skedulo** - Automated, optimized scheduling by tier and skill. - Reps can adjust schedules live from the field. - **Outcome** - Average daily appointments doubled, from 3 to 6. - Booked appointments grew more than 1,000%. > With Skedulo, we can play 5D chess!
