OFFICE WORKFLOW PLAYBOOKS // RESOURCE 19
End-of-Day Board Reconciliation
Close the dispatch day with every job status, customer promise, material need, and next owner accounted for.
The operating outcome
Use this playbook to keep end-of-day board reconciliation 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
- Resolve jobs still marked en route, on site, paused, or complete without closeout.
- Identify unbilled work, unsigned authorizations, missing photos, and open estimates.
- Move every follow-up into a named queue with an owner and due date.
- Review exceptions that should shape tomorrow’s schedule.
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.
