Painting dispatch software
When your paint crew arrives at a property the prep crew has not finished, that is half a day of four people gone. Smarfle keeps each stage's status current from the site, so the second crew is sent on fact and the colors agreed at the estimate travel with the job.

Why generic dispatch software fails painting owners
Generic dispatch tools weren’t built for painting. Smarfle was.

How painting dispatch works in Smarfle
From the first touch to the closed loop. No missing pieces.
- 1
The afternoon before, the board is set
Prep and paint crews are placed against which properties are genuinely ready.
- 2
Seven o'clock, the crews pull out
Nobody has to ring the estimator, because every decision made at the walkthrough travelled with the job.
- 3
Mid-morning, prep finishes early
The paint crew is moved up and both crews see the change without a phone call.
- 4
As each room is done
Coverage is photographed and the stage is closed out from the property.
- 5
End of the day, the job's state is real
What is actually painted is on the board, so tomorrow is planned on fact.
Where painting dispatch breaks down
The friction every painting owner recognizes.
The paint crew arrives at an unprepped property
Prep finished yesterday or it did not, and nobody told anybody, so four people lose half a day.
Colors live in the estimator's memory
What was agreed at the walkthrough is not with the crew, so somebody rings to ask or guesses.
Which rooms are finished is anybody's guess
Progress is reported at the end of the week, by which point tomorrow was already planned wrong.
A crew standing in a driveway
The prep crew finished yesterday and the paint crew does not know. They arrive at the next job which is not ready, and half a day of four people goes nowhere. Over a season that is a fortnight of labor.

Features powering painting dispatch
Each one a deep-dive in its own right.
Prep and paint crews share a board
Whether a property is genuinely ready is visible before the second crew is sent to it.
Learn moreColors and finishes are on the job
What was agreed at the estimate is with whoever turns up rather than in the estimator's memory.
Learn moreCrews close out from the property
Prep, first coat and finish are recorded on site, so the office is working from fact rather than from a phone call.
Learn moreCoverage is photographed as it goes
Each wall is captured on the record, which is how a disagreement about a second coat gets resolved without argument.
