Dispatch software

The whiteboard doesn't text customers.

Linq is dispatch software built around one truth: the job isn't dispatched until the customer knows who's coming and when. Calls land on a drag-and-drop board, jobs go to the right tech, and the ETA text sends itself. Dispatch is the middle of the loop Linq runs end to end: capture, quote, dispatch, charge, re-loop. Starter is free. Growth is $179 a month for up to five users.

Dispatching software with 24/7 call capture

The board is only as good as what reaches it.

Most dispatch tools start after somebody answers the phone. Linq starts at the ring: the 24/7 AI receptionist answers, books the job straight onto the schedule, and texts back every missed call (Growth plans and up). Nothing gets dispatched from a voicemail nobody heard.

Dispatching software with 24/7 call capture

Dispatch scheduling, job assignment & ETA texts

Run the board, not the phones.

Drag-and-drop board

The day is one screen. Drag a job to a tech and the schedule, the tech, and the customer all know at once.

Automatic ETA texts

The moment a job is assigned or moved, the customer gets the arrival window. Nobody calls asking "where's your guy."

Emergency insertions

The 2am lockout or the burst pipe drops into the morning board without wrecking it. Drag, done, texts sent.

The full job in the tech's hand

Notes, photos, history and the quote ride along, so the tech arrives briefed instead of calling the office from the driveway.

Missed-call text-back

Calls that slip through get a text before the customer dials a competitor, and the reply lands as a job, not a sticky note.

Web based, on any screen

The board runs in the browser and on the phone in the truck.

How it works

One morning on the board.

  1. 7:40am. Five jobs on the board, three techs, coffee still hot. Yesterday's 11pm call is already sitting in the queue, booked by the AI receptionist.
  2. 8:02am. An emergency call lands. Dispatch drags it to the nearest tech; two customers get updated ETA texts automatically.
  3. 8:03am. The tech opens the job: photos from the last visit, gate code in the notes, quote attached.
  4. 4:55pm. Every job closed, paid at the door, review requests out. The whiteboard stays in the dumpster.

Dispatch software questions

What is dispatch software?

Dispatch software turns incoming service calls into scheduled, assigned jobs: who's going, when, with what information, and how the customer finds out. Linq runs that on a drag-and-drop board with automatic ETA texts and 24/7 call capture in front of it.

What is dispatch management?

Dispatch management is the whole discipline of routing the day: prioritizing emergencies, balancing tech workloads, and keeping customers informed as things move. Good software makes it one screen instead of a phone wedged on a shoulder.

Is Linq good dispatching software for a small business?

It's built for exactly that: crews of one to a couple dozen where the dispatcher is often also the owner. No implementation project, no seat math no per-user fees inside your seat count, just the board and the phone handled.

Can I build my own dispatch and scheduling system?

You can, and some shops try with spreadsheets and group texts. The build is easy; the maintenance eats you. We wrote up the honest math in our build-vs-buy guide.

Does it work for real-time and mobile dispatching?

Yes. The board runs in the browser and on the tech's phone, jobs update as dispatch moves them, and every change triggers the customer's ETA text automatically.

Is Linq a Workiz or Jobber alternative for dispatch?

Yes. Dispatch is the middle of everything Linq does, not a bolt-on feature. See Linq vs Workiz and Linq vs Jobber for the direct comparisons.
