OFFICE WORKFLOW PLAYBOOKS // RESOURCE 16
Commercial Recurring Dispatch
Schedule recurring commercial visits around contract scope, asset lists, site windows, and customer reporting requirements.
The operating outcome
Use this playbook to keep commercial recurring dispatch consistent, visible, and owned. The office should finish with a reliable job record, a realistic customer promise, and a clear next action.
Before acting
Confirm the customer, location, requested work, urgency, history, access, commercial terms, and the person authorized to make decisions. Do not turn a customer description into an unverified technical diagnosis.
Key checkpoints
- Confirm the covered locations, assets, visit frequency, and required forms.
- Schedule within approved service windows and blackout periods.
- Assign technicians familiar with the account and site-specific procedures.
- Prepare the customer report and next-due date before closing the visit.
Office workflow
- Review the information already available before contacting the customer again.
- Resolve missing facts that affect safety, qualification, access, timing, material, or price disclosure.
- Set the job status, priority, assigned owner, customer communication promise, and escalation path.
- Update every downstream appointment or team member affected by the decision.
- Close the loop in the job record instead of relying on chat or memory.
Record and handoff
- Keep the original customer wording, confirmed facts, warnings, commitments, and accepted timing.
- Make the next owner, due time, and unresolved exception easy to see.
- Review repeated exceptions for training, staffing, routing, or policy improvement.
