A finishing visit may depend on earlier work, materials or access. Keep those requirements with the phase so managers and dispatchers can review them before confirming the crew. _Runs the operation_ ### Service manager Review recorded phase readiness before committing a crew to the visit.

The Balanced Utilization recipe finds 2 of 7 who match every requirement: Aaron Feldman and Andre Bassett are ringed and fill the two slots._ _[ 04 ]_ ### Mobile phase instructions Provide phase notes, material context, and task lists at the site. _Illustration: Skedulo mobile installation form card: Unit secured on the roof curb is ticked, then the supply air temperature reading is typed in at 64°F against an acceptable range of 52°F to 58°F and marked High in rose, and a dashed section opens under it - Likely cause, chosen as Low refrigerant charge, and a Gauge photo field that takes its requirement: its empty tile turns rose and reads Required to complete_ _[ 05 ]_ ### Customer communications Use configured messages to confirm preparation needs and share appointment changes. _Illustration: A Skedulo mobile thread lifted out: Gloria Benitez at 9:06 AM - running about 40 minutes behind on job #4821, the parkway is banked up, can we shift the 2pm? - and 3 replies later Mark Doherty at 9:44 AM: done, the window is now 2:40 - 4:10, with a green Schedule updated tag._ _[ 06 ]_ ### Completion & outstanding items Use integrations to share completion evidence, punch-list items, and follow-up needs with billing and project records. _Illustration: A Skedulo mobile form card for the homeowner's signature: Helen Pryor's signature drawn on the pad, her name typed under it, Save and Clear, and the capture line - H. Pryor, Wednesday 13 August at 5:16 PM - with the prompt to ask the homeowner to sign and print their name._ _Tempo_ ## Tempo for project-visit coordination. Review crew assignments, ask about upcoming visits and prepare changes with Tempo. Available records and actions depend on your setup. [Meet Tempo](https://www.skedulo.com/product/tempo/) _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo working a rescheduled inspection on a kitchen remodel: the city moves the rough-in inspection at Grace Liu's house in Littleton to Thursday, and the drywall crew is booked for Wednesday, before anyone has inspected the wiring and pipes. The issue lands in amber on a blank screen and becomes the task's header; Tempo reads the permit portal, the project's visits and the ready jobs, and the context panel opens on the remodel's schedule and the time to drywall. Tempo moves drywall to Friday; once started, it gives the crew a ready basement for Wednesday and texts Grace the new date_ _The Toolkit_ ## Tools for installation and renovation visits. ### Job dependencies Sequence dependent visits using the prior-work and timing requirements configured for those jobs. _Illustration: Skedulo job card for job #4821, a water changeover service, pending dispatch, with its dependency under it: Depends on JOB-4830, marked Complete - cleared to start 40 minutes after that job's completion, the travel time between them, so the visit is sequenced behind the work it relies on._ ### Configured readiness checks Use configured fields and checks to flag missing materials, access details, or required permits. _Illustration: A Skedulo page builder card for account-page-template, in Draft: the palette's Site access card, an unpublished draft component, is pressed and dragged as a blue + Site access card ghost onto the account page, under its Account locations block. A drop line marks the place, the card lands selected with its Entrance, Loading dock gate, and the template turns Modified._ ### Crew and skill matching Match crew size and skill mix to what each phase actually requires, before the crew is booked to the visit. _Illustration: A small Skedulo best-match card for JOB-4821: Gloria Benitez ranked first with a 96 match on a pale green row, 10 minutes of added travel and 1.9 miles from her last job; Doug Lindqvist at 81, 26 minutes and crossing territory; Bridget Hanley at 64, 38 minutes with her shift ending at 3:30 PM._ ### Mobile project details Crews can review phase notes, material requirements and task lists on Mobile, then flag issues found on site. _Illustration: Skedulo mobile actions card for JOB-4821, water changeover service at Pioneer Health Systems: Helen Pryor, Facilities Manager, with call, SMS and email buttons; directions to 1160 Pioneer Way, Denver; the unit 2 asset record, last serviced 14 May; and Create follow-up job, pressed, which makes follow-up JOB-4872 in its place without leaving the job_ ### Connected project records Use integrations to share completion evidence and punch-list items with billing and project records. _Illustration: Skedulo card for JOB-4803, completed Wed at 5:21 PM, and its work going out with nothing to export: the job status to the Salesforce work order at 5:21 PM, the completed work to Finance for invoicing at 5:22 PM, and Gloria Benitez's approved hours, 7.25, to Workday on Thursday at 8:30 AM - 3 sent, each ticking green in turn._ ## AWP improved scheduling and dispatch efficiency 86% for a screened field team. - **Before** - Paper-based scheduling meant job confirmations could take more than six hours. - Five acquisitions in two years meant the manual process scaled with every new office. - **With Skedulo** - Skedulo native to Salesforce lets the team create, dispatch, and track jobs in real time. - Schedulers see who's working, who's en route, and what's complete at any point in the day. - **Outcome** - 86% more efficient scheduling and dispatch, with job acceptance confirmed in half the time. - A process that used to take seven people now runs with one. > We're able to make sound business decisions that better all parties involved, that better our protectors, better our customers, better our company and our shareholders. > > — Jarrod Wachter, Vice President Field Operations, AWP - **86%** — more efficient scheduling and dispatch [Read Story](https://www.skedulo.com/customers/area-wide-protective/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can Skedulo flag a project that isn't ready for a crew yet? Teams can set that up. Materials, access notes, permits and prior-phase status can be tracked in fields on each job, and teams can set up an automation to flag gaps before a crew is booked. The coordinator then holds the visit or chases the missing item. ### Can Skedulo support multi-visit residential projects? Yes. Each visit is a job with its own crew size, skills and duration, and where job dependencies are set up, one visit is sequenced to start after another finishes. That keeps a finishing crew from being booked before the rough-in it depends on is done. ### What happens to later phases when one visit slips? Use recorded dependencies to review affected phases, crew assignments, and customer dates. Tempo can help with the review and follow-up using available records. Confirm site readiness and the revised plan before dispatch. ### Can installation crews see phase notes and materials on mobile? Yes. Crews get a mobile project packet with phase notes, materials context and task lists. On site they update status, capture photos and completion details, and flag issues found along the way. ### Can Skedulo schedule an install that needs several trades on the same visit? Yes. Schedulers coordinate the required roles and availability for jobs that need more than one worker, such as an installer and an electrician on one visit. Each crew member is checked against the skills and credentials the job needs before the crew is booked. ### What happens at project handoff? Completion evidence, punch-list items and follow-up needs go to billing and project-record systems through integrations, depending on what your operation connects. Open punch-list items stay visible so they're scheduled, not forgotten. The customer's final walkthrough can use the same record. _Keep Exploring_ ## Explore related products, home service segments, and use cases. ### Products - [Skedulo Intelligence](https://www.skedulo.com/product/skedulo-intelligence/) - [Field Scheduling](https://www.skedulo.com/product/field-scheduling/) - [Forms & Checklists](https://www.skedulo.com/product/forms-checklists/) - [Frontline Mobile App](https://www.skedulo.com/product/mobile/) - [Task Management](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/task-management/) - [Tempo](https://www.skedulo.com/product/tempo/) ### Home Services - [HVAC, Electrical & Plumbing](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/home-services/hvac-electrical-plumbing/) - [Appliance Repair & Handyman Services](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/home-services/appliance-repair-handyman-services/) - [Cleaning, Pest & Property Care](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/home-services/cleaning-pest-property-care/) ### Use Cases - [Installation](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/installation/) - [Field Service](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/field-service/) - [Communication & Messaging](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/communication-messaging/) - [Home Appointments](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/home-appointments/) ## Bring a project schedule to the demo.
