# What is Dispatch Automation?

Dispatch automation uses software to capture inbound service requests, assess urgency, assign the job to the right crew member, and communicate dispatch details — reducing or eliminating the need for a human dispatcher to manually handle every call. For field-service businesses like HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and towing, automated dispatch means faster response times, fewer missed jobs, and 24/7 coverage even when the office is closed. How Keres AI handles it: Remi books routine jobs into ServiceTitan or your calendar and texts emergencies to your on-call tech.

## How does AI dispatch work for field-service businesses?

When a customer calls with a service request, the AI receptionist answers in two rings, captures the job details (address, issue type, urgency), and assesses whether it's a routine job or an emergency. Routine calls get booked on the calendar in the appropriate scheduling window. Emergency calls — a no-heat in January, a burst pipe, a stranded motorist at midnight — get immediate dispatch alerts texted to the on-call technician, with all job details. No dispatcher required for the intake.
