Efficient scheduling in the fire protection sector
Efficiently scheduling routine inspections is a challenge for many certified companies. Contacting customers and minimizing travel time can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Movetex helps these companies schedule their technicians more efficiently, providing better visibility, fewer phone calls, and optimized routes.
Scheduling challenges in the fire protection sector
Scheduling takes too much time Scheduling periodic inspections or fire-extinguisher replacements, and contacting customers, is so time-consuming that having 1 planner for every 5 technicians is not unusual.
Inefficient routes Technicians spend too much time on the road and miss out on billable work. Sorting lists by postal code, manual calendar tools, and Google Maps are not suited for efficient route planning.
Overview and communication Which customers were contacted, who confirmed, and were reminders sent? Keeping an overview and communicating clearly with customers requires a lot of work.
Plan and communicate periodic inspections in bulk
Generate planning proposals for ten to hundreds of inspections over any period you choose, such as an entire month. Movetex takes all planning constraints into account and minimizes driving time.
Customers receive an email or text message to confirm or decline the proposed appointment, and everything is automatically processed in the schedule.
This way, you always plan efficiently, in no time, without having to contact customers yourself.
Customers book their own appointments
Send your customers a scheduling invitation for their annual inspection, installation, or replacement via email, SMS, or WhatsApp.
Customers can choose a time that suits them within your technicians’ available slots, and they only see options that are efficient for your business.
This way, you provide excellent service to your customers while Movetex optimizes routes in the background. Your back office only needs to focus on customers who don’t use the digital scheduling flow.
Support planners with smart suggestions
The Movetex AI Assistant provides smart suggestions when scheduling tasks: which technician, when, and where, with minimal travel time and fully aligned with availability and skills.
Whether you’re scheduling a new task, with or without the customer on the line, or filling gaps in the schedule, you get smart suggestions that help you optimize your planning and make the right decision quickly in any situation.
