01 Context

Inspections across many technicians and locations.

An alarm inspection company sends technicians to customer sites across multiple locations. Every inspection has to be matched to an available technician, a location and its inspection requirements.

That coordination was done by hand. It consumed excessive admin time every week and produced suboptimal routes.

02 Challenge

Every inspection started with manual coordination.

Scheduling alarm inspections across multiple technicians and locations was done manually, consuming excessive admin time and producing suboptimal routes.

Before

Technicians and locations were scheduled manually, consuming admin time and producing suboptimal routes.

After our work

Assignment, route planning and dispatch notifications were automated and integrated with existing tools.

The key decision: Treat assignment and routing as one coordination problem.

03 Approach

Connect assignment, routing and dispatch in one workflow.

Treat assignment and routing as one coordination problem. Technician availability, locations and inspection requirements informed the assignment engine, while calendar integration connected the workflow to the tools already in use.

  1. Map the constraints

    Mapped technician availability, locations and inspection requirements: the inputs every schedule depends on.

  2. Assign and route automatically

    Built an intelligent auto-assignment and route optimization engine that decides who goes where, and in which order.

  3. Automate dispatch

    Automated scheduling workflows and dispatch notifications, so technicians receive their plan without manual follow-up.

  4. Fit the existing tools

    Integrated with the tools and calendaring systems the team already used.

04 How it works

One workflow from availability to the technician’s calendar.

Technician availability, locations and inspection requirements feed the assignment engine; routes are optimized, dispatch is automated and calendars stay in sync.

05 Results

Time back for dispatch. More inspections each day.

15h

Saved per week

Administrative time recovered each week through scheduling automation.

Operational outcome

More inspections per day

The team completed more inspections per day; the source does not quantify the increase.

Operational outcome

Zero manual scheduling

Manual scheduling was replaced by the automated workflow.

“Scheduling used to eat half my Monday. Now it just happens. Software Sushi built something that actually understands our routes — we’re fitting in more jobs every day and our dispatchers finally have time to breathe.”

08 Takeaway

Automate the coordination, not just the calendar.

Scheduling is not a calendar problem: it is assignment, routing and communication together. Solving them in one workflow freed up nearly two full workdays per week and let the team fit in more inspections every day.
