Dispatch

Dispatch Technicians Software for Plumbers

Assign jobs to the right plumber, see every truck on a live map, and keep the whole crew moving — all from one screen built for plumbing shops, not enterprise call centers.

No whiteboard. No "where are you?" texts. No ServiceTitan-sized invoice every month.

  • Live GPS map of every tech
  • One-tap job assignment
  • Smart tech suggestions by skill & location
  • Automatic on-my-way customer texts

The whiteboard breaks the second you grow past one truck

Two trucks on the road and suddenly you're texting techs to ask where they are, calling customers to apologize for being late, and sending the wrong plumber to a tankless job he's never touched.

Plumb Ace Dispatch puts every job, every tech, and every truck in one live view. You see who's closest, who's free, and who has the right skill — and you assign the job in a single tap.

The customer gets an automatic on-my-way text with the tech's name and ETA. You get your day back.

Built to run a plumbing crew — not a call center

Every dispatch feature is wired into the jobs, customers, and estimates you already manage in Plumb Ace. No double entry, no integration headaches.

Live map of every truck

See every tech's location in real time on one map. Spot who's closest to the next call without sending a single text.

Smart tech suggestions

Plumb Ace ranks your crew by skill, distance, and current workload — so you assign the right plumber the first time.

Drag-and-drop dispatch board

Reassign jobs by dragging them between techs. Reorder a tech's day. See the whole shop's schedule at a glance.

Auto on-my-way texts

When a tech taps Start, the customer gets a text with the plumber's name and ETA. Fewer angry calls. Better reviews.

Route-aware scheduling

See drive times between calls before you book them. Pack the day tight without overcommitting the truck.

Status alerts in real time

Get pinged when a tech runs late, finishes early, or closes a job. Stay ahead of customer questions before they happen.

New call to assigned tech — in under 30 seconds

From phone ringing to plumber rolling, without leaving the dispatch board.

Everything you need to run a multi-truck plumbing shop

Dispatch isn't just assigning jobs — it's keeping the day on schedule, the customers informed, and the techs working on the right call. Plumb Ace handles all of it from one screen.

Built for plumbing shops running 2–20 trucks. Designed to scale with you — not weigh you down with features built for 200-truck operations.

See your whole crew on one live map

Every truck shows up as a pin on the map, updated in real time. You can spot the closest tech to a new call without picking up the phone — and stop the back-and-forth that eats half your morning.

Tap a tech to see their current job, next job, and ETA. Tap a job to see who's assigned and when they're expected on site. The full picture, always one glance away.

Real-time GPS

Tech positions update every few seconds on the dispatch map — no manual check-ins, no guessing where the truck went.

Live status badges

See at a glance who's en route, on site, or finished. Color-coded pins make the busy hours readable.

Multi-truck view

Filter by tech, skill, or zone. Manage 2 trucks or 20 from the same uncluttered board.

The tech's phone is the dispatch radio

When you assign a job, the tech gets a push notification with the customer name, address, and scope. One tap opens turn-by-turn directions. Another tap marks them on site.

Every status change syncs back to the dispatch board in real time. You don't need to call them. They don't need to call you. Everyone keeps working.

Tech app on iOS & Android

Plumbers see their schedule, job details, and customer notes from any phone. Works on the cheapest Android in the truck.

One-tap navigation

Launch Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze straight from the job. No copying addresses into a separate app.

Time tracking built in

Start and stop times log automatically when the tech updates job status — for payroll, billing, and profitability reports.

Customers stop calling to ask when you're coming

The #1 complaint in plumbing reviews isn't price — it's "they never showed up" or "I waited four hours with no update." Plumb Ace eliminates both with automatic status texts at every step.

Booked, on the way, arriving in 15 minutes, finished — every update fires from the same app, with your business name and the tech's first name. Customers feel taken care of. Your phone stops ringing with status questions.
