Dispatcher vs. The Algorithm: Why "Auto-Pilot" is Failing Your Team

Your dispatcher is tired of fighting the machine.

If you use enterprise software like ServiceTitan's Dispatch Pro, you've likely heard the complaints. The "Algorithm" moves jobs around overnight. It pulls your best tech off a high-value install and sends them to a filter change across town.

The dispatcher has to spend the first hour of every day "fixing" what the AI broke.

The Problem: The "Black Box"

The issue isn't that the AI is dumb. It's that it's opaque. It's a "Black Box."

It optimizes for Mathematical Efficiency (shortest drive time). But dispatching requires Relational Efficiency (who is good at what, who gets along with whom, which customer needs a "soft touch").

When the software takes total control ("Auto-Pilot"), your team feels powerless. They turn the feature off.

The Solution: The "Co-Pilot" Model

The future of dispatching isn't automation; it's Augmentation.

We are building "Co-Pilot" layers that sit next to your dispatcher, not above them.

How it works:

1. Context Aware: The AI analyzes the schedule.
2. Recommendation Engine: Instead of moving the job, it highlights it.
3. The Nudge: "Recommendation: Move Job #402 to Tech Sarah. She is 5 minutes further away, but she has a 15% higher close rate on Tankless Water Heaters."

Why This Wins

• Trust: The human makes the final click. They feel in control.
• Training: New dispatchers learn why moves are suggested.
• Revenue: The AI optimizes for profit (close rate), not just mileage.

Don't replace your dispatcher. Give them superpowers.
