Tower work can need climbers and ground crew inside one site-access window. Availability alone doesn't qualify a crew, so roles and qualifications are part of the plan. _Runs the operation_ ### Field services manager Track crew assignments, visit status and open work by region.

Review equipment needs, access arrangements, and travel before assignment. _Illustration: A Skedulo Tempo context card checking Gloria Benitez's recorded skills against the job: structured cabling at Level II, renewed Mar 2026; rack and patching, 12 jobs this year; fiber testing, 5 jobs this year - each marked Met, 3 of 3._ _[ 03 ]_ ### Site-access windows Assign the crew within the site-access window and provide the site packet, work instructions, and contact details. _Illustration: A Skedulo job panel for JOB-4821, a business router install in unit 2, Wed 13 Aug 2:00 - 3:30 PM, its technician en route, open on Travel: a real map of the drive, 5.8 miles and arriving 2:42 PM, 22 minutes away, with a 6 minute delay in heavy traffic._ _[ 04 ]_ ### Mobile field records Complete mobile forms and capture photos, readings, notes, and required signoff. Record findings that need review or another visit. _Illustration: A Skedulo mobile card headed Inspected assets, one row per asset recorded on the visit, each arriving with its result: AST-1163 on the ground floor riser N/A, AST-1152 in the level 3 plant space FAIL in rose, AST-1147 in the same space PASS in green._ _[ 05 ]_ ### Changed access and site conditions Revise assignments when access, site conditions, or priorities change. Follow the site-safety process before work resumes. _Illustration: A Skedulo new direct message: the dispatcher types Glo, finds Gloria Benitez, Senior Technician, and starts the conversation - can you make 2:40 if I push the window? - in a message box ready to send._ _[ 06 ]_ ### Closeout and outstanding findings Use integrations to send visit results, outstanding findings, and review status to network, asset, billing, and reporting systems. _Illustration: A Skedulo card for a custom integration, Parts depot, Connected with 3 endpoints set up through its API - GET stock by part number, POST a reservation, DELETE a reservation - its credentials added for you, so job results and parts can reach the system that holds the asset and stock records._ _Tempo_ ## Review tower crew availability with Tempo. Compare crew roles, recorded qualifications and site arrangements with Tempo using your enabled actions. Your site-safety process authorizes the work. [Meet Tempo](https://www.skedulo.com/product/tempo/) _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo working a tower climb against the wind from its issue: tomorrow's antenna swap on a 160-foot monopole in Commerce City faces gusts to 45 miles an hour, over the crew's climbing limit of 30. The issue lands in amber on a blank screen and becomes the task's header; Tempo reads the site forecast, the climb crew's week and the site access terms, and the context panel opens on the site weather and the climb crew. Tempo picks Friday's calm morning with the same certified crew; once the dispatcher starts the plan it moves the climb, requests site access and messages the crew lead._ _The Toolkit_ ## Crew planning with site requirements attached. ### Crew requirement matching Match recorded qualifications and crew roles to each job, accounting for travel and site-access windows. _Illustration: A Skedulo crew card for job #4809, 3 of 4 technicians assigned: Aaron Feldman as crew leader, dispatched; and the members Andre Bassett, dispatched, and Brooke Feeney, confirmed - one role still to fill._ ### Crew changes with Tempo Review crew changes, travel and team updates with Tempo when urgent work affects existing assignments. _Illustration: Skedulo Tempo's options for covering a customer's 2:00 - 5:00 PM window, re-ranked by the window and then by least travel: Gloria Benitez first, arriving 3:45 PM inside the window and 6 minutes away, marked Least travel; Bridget Hanley inside the window but 18 minutes away and into overtime; Aaron Feldman last, arriving 5:22 PM after his rooftop job and missing the window. The ranking rule sits at the foot: keep the customer's window, then least travel._ ### Site instructions and safety forms Give crews forms, checklists, photos, notes, and signature capture for every step of the visit. _Illustration: A Skedulo mobile form card for a pre-start safety check at height: the unprotected roof edge is ticked as a hazard and tagged Critical, with overhead power lines listed, so the form opens the required controls - a harness on a rated anchor and an exclusion zone below the edge - and once both are confirmed it reads, Confirmed. Work can start._ ### Site preparation workflows Trigger access and equipment preparation tasks before dispatch, then assign follow-up from the visit. _Illustration: A small Skedulo automation builder card, Failed check follow-up: the trigger is a record change - a checklist submitted - then if a check failed, create a follow-up job, with an approval step for Wade Brennan._ ### Site work visibility Track crew assignments, visit status, and open work. Use reporting to review response targets and backlog by region. _Illustration: A Skedulo Analytics tile for appointments kept: 95% of today's 146 appointments on time, up 2 points, as one bar split into 138 on time, 6 at risk and 2 missed._ ## Rocket Fiber scaled a demanding field workforce with Skedulo. - **Before** - Manual scheduling struggled to keep pace with a fast-growing mobile field workforce. - Dispatchers had limited visibility into technician routes and job status. - **With Skedulo** - Mobile workforce scheduling runs on one system built for a fast-moving field team. - Technicians and dispatchers share the same live schedule and job context. - **Outcome** - Efficiency in scheduling mobile workers in a demanding market. - A more reliable field operation as the crew workload scaled. > Skedulo helps change fiber installation by improving customer expectations and effectively scheduling mobile workers in a demanding market. - **68%** — increase in customer satisfaction [Read Story](https://www.skedulo.com/customers/rocket-fiber/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can Skedulo schedule certified tower crews? Yes. Recorded qualifications and crew roles are matched to job requirements, availability, travel and site-access windows. Your scheduling rules decide how conflicts are handled, while checking credentials and clearing a crew to climb stay part of your site-safety process. ### Can one tower job require several people with different roles? Yes. Tower work often needs climbers and ground crew inside one site-access window, and schedulers coordinate the required roles and availability for jobs that need more than one worker. Each person is matched against the recorded qualifications for their role. ### Can Skedulo support mobile safety forms? Yes. Crews complete mobile safety forms and capture photos, notes and signoff, and a form can be required before the job can be marked complete. A completed form records the check, but the responsible team still assesses site conditions and authorizes the work. ### Can tower crews use the app at remote sites with poor signal? Yes, for the actions documented to work offline. When the signal drops at a remote site, the app keeps those changes on the phone and syncs them once a connection returns. Crews can see what's still waiting to sync, so they know what the office hasn't received yet. ### Can Skedulo coordinate urgent wireless site work? Yes. When an urgent site issue comes in, dispatchers check certification, proximity and SLA to find a qualified crew. Tempo can propose the reassignment for a dispatcher to approve. ### Can Skedulo connect site data to network and asset systems? Yes. APIs and integrations can share closeout data, outstanding findings and review status with network, asset, billing and BI systems. Scope depends on the connected systems and permissions. _Keep Exploring_ ## Explore related products, telecom programs, and use cases. ### Products - [Field Scheduling](https://www.skedulo.com/product/field-scheduling/) - [Frontline Mobile App](https://www.skedulo.com/product/mobile/) - [Forms & Checklists](https://www.skedulo.com/product/forms-checklists/) - [Messaging](https://www.skedulo.com/product/messaging/) - [Skedulo Intelligence](https://www.skedulo.com/product/skedulo-intelligence/) - [Tempo](https://www.skedulo.com/product/tempo/) ### Telecommunications Programs - [Customer Premises Service Appointments](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/telecommunications/customer-premise-service-appointments/) - [Fiber & Broadband Installation](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/telecommunications/fiber-broadband-installation/) - [Network Maintenance & Outage Response](https://www.skedulo.com/industries/telecommunications/network-maintenance-outage-response/) ### Use Cases - [Inspections & Forms](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/inspections-forms/) - [Asset Management](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/asset-management/) - [Communication & Messaging](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/communication-messaging/) - [Task Management](https://www.skedulo.com/use-cases/task-management/) ## See Skedulo for wireless and tower field teams.
