Where general contractor dispatch breaks down

The day-to-day friction every general contractor owner recognizes.

Sub didn't show up — discovered at noon

Without a confirmation system + live status board, you find out about no-shows hours after the day was lost.

Inspector + trade crash on the same day

Inspection over-runs, the next trade arrives to a closed-off job site. Status-aware dispatch prevents the wasted trip.

Multi-project resource conflicts

Same lead carpenter is needed at two sites the same morning. Without a unified dispatch board, you don't see the conflict until it's too late.

How Smarfle handles general contractor dispatch

Live dispatch board, drag-to-reassign, route optimization, and field mode all in one place.

Drag-to-reassign Kanban board

Two views: by technician (swimlanes per crew member) or by status (Scheduled → In Progress → Completed). Drag any job to reassign or change status — no menus.

Live job map

Every scheduled job shows as a status-colored pin on Google Maps. Click a pin for job details + Navigate link. Spot a gap, drag a job to a closer tech.

Route optimization

One click reorders a tech's day to minimize drive time using Google Directions API. Multi-stop navigation link sent to their phone.

Field mode for technicians

Mobile-optimized PWA. Techs see today's jobs, tap to navigate, mark arrived, log photos, capture signatures — all without calling the office.

On-the-way + arrival SMS

Tap 'I'm on the way' or 'I've arrived' from the field — customer gets an automatic SMS with the tech's name. Cuts customer-asks-where-is-the-tech calls.

General Contractor Dispatch Software CRM questions

Pick By Technician (swimlanes per tech, jobs stacked under each) or By Status (Scheduled → In Progress → Completed → Invoiced columns). Drag any job card to move it. Drops update assignment + status instantly. Works on tablet + desktop.
Yes. Select a date + technician on the Routes page and click 'Optimize Route'. Smarfle calls Google Directions API with all the day's stops as waypoints, returns the optimal order, reorders the schedule, and generates a multi-stop Google Maps navigation link the tech opens on their phone.
No. Smarfle is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — they open the URL in Safari/Chrome and 'Add to Home Screen' once. From then on it works like a native app with offline sync, push notifications, and camera access for job photos.
Yes. Add subs as 'sub' role users with limited access (only their own jobs). Or add their visits as non-billable calendar events on the master dispatch board for visibility without giving them a login.
Each project's status (Demo, Rough-in, Inspection, Drywall) drives which trades can be scheduled when. Dispatch warns if you book the next trade before inspection-passed status.
The dispatch board shows ALL projects on one calendar. Filter by tech to see exactly where they're double-booked. Drag a job to fix the conflict immediately.
