What it does

A text message letting a customer know a technician is on the way and when to expect them

Includes the technician''s name, an estimated arrival window, and a contact number if the customer needs to reach someone. Specific enough that the customer doesn''t have to call the office asking for an update but short enough to read at a glance. Immediacy is the point: the message is most useful while the truck is moving.

When you’d reach for it

  • An appliance repair company uses this so customers know when to expect the tech without calling the office for an update.
  • A commercial HVAC operation uses this to alert facilities managers before each service visit so staff can have the right areas unlocked and ready.
  • A field service platform uses this to keep residential customers informed on days when job timing has shifted.
