Calisto Dispatch

Assign work to your team and see it done, at the desk or in the field.

Task management for every team you run, on one site or across a city. Assignment rules pick the right person out of the roster you already keep, and the job stays one record from the moment it arrives to the moment it comes back verified.

One task feed, five ways to read it · Rules that assign without a dispatcher chasing it · Service levels measured against your own business hours

The Command Center

Change how you look at the work, not the work.

View tasks across list, board, crew, schedule, and map views with persistent search and filters. Access dedicated status, priority, and incoming queues, or start your day on a briefing home built for instant dispatching.

Board: drag a card across the six lifecycle columns.
Crew: a column per worker plus unassigned. Drag onto a worker to assign.
Schedule: a day or week time axis with capacity meters, double-booking and tight-travel warnings.
Incoming: work arriving from Orderflow, to accept, backlog, flag, or send back.
Status board: every task by lifecycle stage, on the same feed as the workspace.
Priority queue: blocked, overdue, at-risk and high-priority work, narrowed by one triage facet.
Briefing home: unassigned first, then overdue, then today. Work assigned to somebody off the roster counts as unassigned and says so.

One Task, End to End

Created. Assigned. Held with a reason. Done. Verified.

Boards are how you see the work. This is what happens to a single job: every transition enforced on the server rather than trusted from the browser, and a record of what happened that outlives the task.

A full form when you are setting up carefully, with category, location, estimated minutes, due date, and attachments. A composer over the board when you are moving fast, where picking an assignee is what makes the task assigned.

Open, assigned, in progress, on hold, completed, cancelled. The picker offers only the legal next steps, and the server enforces the same rule so a board drag cannot cheat it.

A hold needs a reason, and the reason lands on the timeline, beside the one conversation thread the office and the field both post into.

Deleting is not cancelling. The record says which one happened, the thread survives it, and a job in progress refuses to be deleted until you hold or cancel it first.

When Assure checks the work, the result lands on the task: a verified chip with its score, or a failed banner and the job back in the queue for rework, over a frozen copy of the checklist and its photos. Only Assure writes those two states, and the status picker never offers them.

The work order holds its own execution

The overview, the tasks carrying it out, and the parts currently on hand.

Worker suggestions come ranked

Drawn from your assignment rules rather than from who is nearest on a list.

Sign and hand off in one action

Straight into Calisto Sign.

List, board or calendar

The same records on a board, or each one on its due date.

Work Orders in Depth

Write the job once, and let it come back on its own cadence.

Recurring rules generate the work, templates decide what it decomposes into, and the detail surface is where a dispatcher checks the parts before committing anyone to a date.

Cadence rules that generate work orders daily, weekly, monthly, or on a custom pattern such as every second Tuesday. Each rule names a template, a zone, and a start date, and shows its next run. Pause it and generation stops without touching what it already created.

The Field

The crew who opted in. The stops that are really there.

A suggested route order you can drag past, and zones your assignment rules reference.

How a job moves

From arriving to verified, without anyone re-typing it

The same four steps whether the work came from a tenant, a sensor, an inspection, or a dispatcher.

The job arrives

An order lands from Orderflow, a failed inspection arrives from Assure with its checklist attached, a sensor raises it through Signal, or somebody opens it by hand. It reaches a queue, not an inbox.

Assignment rules fire

The rules read the work and pick the action: the nearest available worker, a team, a contractor, or a person to decide.

The worker is dispatched

It appears on their own feed in the phone app or the portal, sequenced into their day, with the parts already confirmed on hand and the checklist attached.

The work comes back verified

Completion is measured against the service level that covers it, and where Assure checks the work, its verdict lands on the task.

The Live Map

See where the crew is, and sequence their day.

View crew locations and geocoded tasks via list or interactive map. Built in route planning optimizes schedules nearest stop first while displaying exact travel savings and respecting worker privacy preferences.

One screen, read as a map or a list: worker pins coloured by how fresh the check-in is, beside job pins carrying the work order, customer, priority, and assignee.
A daily route planner, one card per worker, with numbered stops you can drag past and publish to that worker.
Territories and facility zones drawn as a centre and radius or a boundary polygon, and referenced by your assignment rules.
Positions appear only for workers who opted in, at the precision they chose. A stop without real coordinates is left off the map rather than placed somewhere invented.
Route Planning

Nearest stop first, and you can drag past it.

One card per worker with numbered stop sequencing, the suggested run you can override and reset, and the drive it saves in distance and minutes. Distances read in kilometres or miles by your preference while storage stays metric.

The Field Side

The person doing the work opens their own day.

Not a second tool to keep open. The same task record, on the surface they already use.

Their own task feed

Only the work assigned to them, in the order it has to happen, on the phone app or the portal they already sign into.

Clock on and clock off

A timer against the work order, or an entry logged afterwards, without opening anything else.

Check in on arrival

Arriving at the stop is what moves the job, and the check-in is what the dispatcher sees on the live map.

Position only if they agreed

Sharing is opt-in at one of three precisions the worker picks: exact, approximate, or zone-only. The coarse two are stored coarsened, and a separate switch limits sharing to shift hours.

Assignment Rules

Auto-dispatch built visually from required skill, proximity, estimated cost, work type, zone, and priority. The action is yours: the nearest available worker, a team, a contractor, or queue it for manual dispatch.

Escalation Policies

Triggers built from overdue minutes, unassigned minutes, blocked state, priority, work type, and zone, across three tiers. The response is notify a manager, reassign, page on-call, or raise the priority.

Best-Fit Suggestions

Ranked candidates on work order detail and in the incoming triage panel, banded strong, partial, and poor fit. Scoring reads your assignment rules, and says so plainly when no rules are configured.

Add Worker

The same shared wizard Workforce and Purview mount, writing the same staff roster. No app owns your people, so a new worker turns up as a crew column, a schedule row, and an assignable name immediately.

SLA & Performance

Targets you set. Breaches you answer for. Capacity you can see coming.

Response and resolution targets per tier, measured against business hours when you say so, and a breach log you resolve, waive or reopen.

SLA & Performance

Answer for the target you set, before somebody asks.

Targets per priority tier, a breach log you answer for, and a forecast that shows the crunch before it arrives.

Measure against your own opening hours and the countdown pauses when you are closed, so a job raised at closing time is not overdue by opening.

Breach history auto-logged from live detection, each one carrying its task, rule, severity, worker, and breach time. Resolve with notes, waive, or reopen.

The same breaches read four ways: over time, by rule, by worker, and by work type.

A fourteen-day demand-versus-capacity forecast built from your own day-of-week pattern, reading utilisation, forecast demand, available capacity, and the gap between them.

Read the Numbers

The target, the time it took, and what that adds up to.

Four screens over one task feed, so the number in a report and the number on the board cannot disagree.

Response and resolution targets scoped to a team, a zone, a work type, or a customer tier. Compliance is the measured rate, and a service level that has not measured a qualifying task yet reads no data rather than guessing at a perfect score.

  • Schedule: day or week view with capacity meters, double-booking and tight-travel warnings
  • Status board: every task by lifecycle stage, drag to move
  • Priority queue: blocked, overdue, at-risk, and high-priority work
  • Incoming queue: work from Orderflow with accept, backlog, flag, or reject
  • Retry tab for a handoff that failed, so nothing arrives silently lost
  • Briefing home: unassigned work, then overdue, then today, in that order
Task Lifecycle
  • States: open, assigned, in progress, on hold, completed, cancelled

Honest answers

Questions about Calisto Dispatch

A work order is the thing that has to happen; tasks are how it gets executed. Breaking one into the other is what lets a multi-step job be assigned to three people without becoming three unrelated jobs.

Yes. Response and completion are timed against your own hours rather than wall-clock time, so a job raised at closing time is not overdue by opening.

A failed inspection in Assure, a departure in Bookings, a fault raised in Signal or a request in Desk all arrive as work with an owner and a due time, rather than as a message somebody has to translate into a job.

Open jobs import with their assignee and due date. Closed history usually comes across as records rather than as live work, which is normally what you want.

The pricing section on this page reads the live catalogue and is the authority. There are no per-technician fees, and Dispatch works without the rest of Calisto Ops.

Yes, with photographs, timings and completion evidence, in standard formats.
