# DISPATCH ROUTING
## Dispatch routing software that routes the right tech to the right job
Most tools plan routes. Some match technicians. FieldCamp’s AI Dispatcher does both in one solver — skills, [zones](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/service-areas-and-zones), time windows, and traffic resolved together. No drag-and-drop. No mental math.
[Book a Demo Now](https://calendly.com/jeel-fieldcamp/30min)01
### 10,000+ tech-route combinations, one answer in seconds
[The optimizer evaluates every tech-and-route combination against your constraints](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/ai-route-optimization-explained/): [skills, certifications](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/skills-and-hierarchical-skills), zones, vehicle types, customer preferences, [workload limits](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/capacity-and-workload-limits), and returns the single best assignment for every job on the board. A 35-job morning for 8 techs means tens of thousands of possible combinations. The solver runs through all of them in under 30 seconds. You’d need a whiteboard the size of a wall and an hour of mental math to get close to what it produces before your first tech clocks in.
02
### Routes that adjust through the day, automatically
Morning routes are a starting point, not a contract. As the day unfolds, traffic shifts, a job runs long, a new booking comes in, the engine recalculates and adjusts routes automatically. Your techs see updated ETAs. Your customers get notified. Nobody calls dispatch asking what changed.
03
### Skills, certs, and preferences resolved before routes are built
The system checks technician skills against job requirements before making any assignment. If a job needs “gas line certified” and a tech doesn’t have it, they’re never in the running, no matter how close they are. On top of that, customer preferences factor into the same decision. [If Mrs. Johnson has been requesting Dave for two years, the AI tries to send Dave first](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/preferred-tech-routing/), as long as he’s qualified, available, and the route math works. If he’s across town, the system automatically considers the next best match. Skills, preferences, and proximity, all weighed in one pass, not three separate decisions.
04
### Let an autonomous assistant run morning dispatch
Set up a [dispatch assistant](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/dispatch-assistants-agents) to do it automatically. Define the rules: which job types, which techs, what confidence threshold, and the assistant [runs the morning dispatch on schedule](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/automate-daily-dispatch). Jobs that match cleanly get dispatched. Jobs with skill gaps, zone conflicts, or low-confidence scores get [flagged for review.](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/reviewing-ai-suggestions) Your dispatcher starts the day approving a plan, not building one from scratch. Manual edits are always respected; the assistant never overrides a human call.
05
### Routes built around customer time windows
Customers don’t just want a technician; they want one between 8 and 10 AM, or after 2 PM, or “not during lunch.” [The optimizer treats time windows as hard constraints when you set them that way](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/time-window-optimization/). Routes are built around when your customer is available, not the other way around. When a window is tight, the system [clusters nearby jobs](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/handling-conflicts-and-overlaps) with similar windows so one tech can hit three morning-only appointments in the same neighborhood without backtracking.
CONTINUOUS PLANNING
### Manual route planning
- You plan the routes, then assign techs separately
- Optimizes distance, doesn’t know who’s qualified for what
- Static morning plan, doesn’t adjust as the day changes
- Customer preferences tracked in your head or a note
- Every tech gets the same routing regardless of the vehicle
- Weekend runs need a redo from scratch every Monday
FULL RE-OPTIMIZATION
### FieldCamp’s AI Dispatcher
- Routes and tech assignments optimized together in one pass
- Skills and certifications are checked before anyone gets assigned
- Routes adjust throughout the day as things change
- Preferred technician matching is built into route decisions
- Vehicle-specific routing, vans and trucks get different roads
- Day-over-day continuity — Monday’s plan extends Friday’s, no rebuild
6:00 AMJobs sync from ServiceTitan35 service calls [pulled from ServiceTitan](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/connecting-fieldcamp-to-dispatcher). Each one is tagged with the service type, required skills, customer-preferred tech, and requested time window. They land in the queue automatically.
6:15 AMDispatcher filters and dispatchesThe dispatcher opens FieldCamp, reviews the job queue, and filters out the ones that need dispatching today. One click “**Optimize**.” [Routes appear on the map](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/live-dispatch-map-timeline). 8 techs, color-coded. Every job is placed on the right route with the right tech.
9:40 AMNew job comes inEmergency water heater call. The dispatcher sees it in the queue and [adds it to today’s dispatch](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/submitting-a-job-for-ai-dispatch). The engine slots it into Tech #4’s route; he’s closest, has the skill, and has a gap between his next two stops. Other routes stay untouched.
2:00 PMDispatcher checks the boardRoutes have auto-adjusted twice since morning; one tech ran long, and traffic shifted on the highway. Updated ETAs have already been pushed to customers. The dispatcher didn’t touch anything. The board just reflects reality.

## Frequently Asked Questions
**What is dispatch routing software?**
Dispatch routing software assigns jobs to the right technician and builds the optimal route in one pass — instead of doing route planning
and tech assignment as two separate steps. FieldCamp’s AI Dispatcher weighs skills, certifications, vehicle type, time windows, customer
preferences, and workload limits in a single optimization, then surfaces the result for one-tap dispatcher approval.
**How fast does it dispatch a full day’s jobs?**
Under 30 seconds for a typical 35-job, 8-tech morning. The solver evaluates tens of thousands of tech-and-route combinations and returns
the single best assignment for each job before your first tech clocks in.
**Does it check technician skills before assigning a job?**
Yes — skill and certification checks happen before anyone gets considered. If a job needs “gas line certified” and a tech doesn’t have it, they’re never in the running, no matter how close they are. Proximity never overrides certification.
**Can it respect customer-preferred technicians?**
Yes. If Mrs. Johnson has been requesting Dave for two years, the AI tries to send Dave first — provided he’s qualified, available, and the route math works. If he’s across town, the system automatically considers the next best match.
**Does the route adjust if something changes mid-day?**
Yes. Morning routes are a starting point, not a contract. When traffic shifts, a job runs long, or a new booking lands, the engine recalculates affected routes automatically, pushes updated ETAs to customers, and shows the change to the dispatcher for review.
