Sample project

Summit Field Services

Dispatchers assign jobs in one place and techs see their day on their phone.

Dispatch software MVP

Sample project: Summit Field Services is a fictional business. Every artifact on this page is produced by the same tools and templates we use on client projects. 360° photos are public domain samples (credited). Client work appears only with permission.

The situation

Summit Field Services sends technicians out on service calls every day. Dispatch runs on a whiteboard and group texts, so dispatchers cannot see who is free and techs miss job changes sent by text. Invoicing happens separately in QuickBooks.

Scope

What we would build

The scope we would write for this business, in plain words.

  1. Dispatcher boardCreate a job, assign a tech and a time window, and get a warning before two jobs overlap.
  2. Tech job list on the phoneToday's jobs, status updates for en route, on site and done, plus notes and photos.
  3. Automatic arrival textsWhen a tech marks en route, the customer gets a text with the arrival window. The text provider is the one integration, named in the written scope.
  4. Accounts and rolesDispatcher, technician and ops director each sign in and land on their own view.
  5. Admin and day reviewSee and correct every job, and review the day by status and by person.

The artifacts

Made by our tools, not mocked up by hand

Each piece below is the real output of the engine named on it, computed from this study's inputs when the page was built. Run the same tool on your own business and you get the same kind of result.

Engine Prototype Studio

App prototype

Desktop: Dispatch board

App prototype for Summit Field Services, Dispatch board screen at desktop width. The dispatch board and the technician's phone view from our dispatch app kit in the Dispatch direction. Two edits in the editor: a Sign in screen, because every user has an account, and the sample money cards hidden, because the first version tracks jobs, not invoices. Jobs and names are sample data.

Phone: Technician (mobile)

App prototype for Summit Field Services, Technician (mobile) screen at phone width. The dispatch board and the technician's phone view from our dispatch app kit in the Dispatch direction. Two edits in the editor: a Sign in screen, because every user has an account, and the sample money cards hidden, because the first version tracks jobs, not invoices. Jobs and names are sample data.
