Why dispatch becomes the bottleneck
Most CRMs show the day's jobs as a list or a calendar. Neither view makes it obvious which tech is overloaded, which jobs are stuck, or what to reassign.
Lists Hide Overload
A table of 30 work orders doesn't tell you that Tech A has 12 jobs and Tech B has 2. You discover imbalance when Tech A calls in burned out.
Status Transitions Are Manual
Moving a job from Scheduled to In Progress to Completed means opening the record, picking from a dropdown, and saving. Three clicks per move, for every job.
Reassignment Is Painful
When a job needs to move techs, owners open the job, change the technician dropdown, save, and hope everyone notices. No visual signal.
How a dispatch decision lands on a tech's phone
Open the Dispatch Board
The /dispatch page shows today's work orders on a Kanban board. Pick By Technician or By Status from the view toggle.
Drag to Reassign or Progress
Drag a card to another technician column to reassign, or drag it through status columns (Scheduled -> In Progress -> Completed) on the By Status view.
Use Quick Actions
Every card has a mini menu for view, edit, and status change without dragging. Useful on mobile where drag is harder.
Filter and Focus
Filter by date, branch, or priority. Mobile-responsive layout collapses columns into a scrollable row for phones.
What the dispatch board does

Dispatch questions
No, it complements. Calendar is best for scheduling ahead. Dispatch board is best for running today's operations.
Yes, but techs see only their assigned jobs. Drag-drop is disabled for them — they use the card actions to mark progress.
Yes. Columns collapse into a horizontal scroll on narrow screens, and long-press drag works for reassignment.
Dispatch handles who and what status. Route Optimization handles in-what-order and drive-time. Use both together.
