Algorithmic Routing for Local Trades

const lead = await EventQueue.pull('lead.created');

if (lead.score > 90) {

await RoutingEngine.dispatch({

priority: 'P0',

payload: lead.data

});

} else {

How plumbing, HVAC, and electrical businesses are replacing manual dispatch with automated rules engines to scale past 10 vans.

The biggest bottleneck for a growing trades business isn't finding technicians; it's dispatching them efficiently. Manual dispatching relies on human memory, geographical guesswork, and endless phone calls.

The Breaking Point

At around 5-7 vans, the human dispatcher becomes the single point of failure. If an emergency job comes in, the dispatcher has to manually text three different technicians, wait for replies, and try to calculate who is closest.

Algorithmic Dispatch

By deploying algorithmic routing, the system ingests an inbound job, checks the live GPS coordinates of all active vans, cross-references their current job completion status, and automatically pings the optimal technician.

This eliminates "windshield time" and allows the business to scale its fleet infinitely without hiring a small army of dispatchers.
