Route · who goes where

Every job to the right person, by rules you can read.

Route decides where each job, matter or order goes: by skill, area, who’s free and how busy everyone is. Every decision shows the rule behind it. We build it for your business after the Schematic, once Respond is running.

Sets the examples across this page.

Dispatch and assignment

Today’s work is already assigned. Each by your rules.

When Respond books something, Route picks who takes it: someone who does that work, in that area, free at that time, and not already carrying more than the rest. Your office sees the assignment, and the reason for it.

The rulebook

Every decision traces back to a rule you can read.

The rules are written in plain words, not code: who does which work, which areas, who’s on call, how to share the load. Next to every decision is the rule that made it. Change the rule, and the next one follows it.

Checks before booking

Checked before it’s booked, not after.

Before anything is booked, Route checks what your office would: the area, the skills, the parts or stock, the calendar. In a law firm, the conflict check runs against your case management system, and anything that matches waits for a lawyer.

Several locations or brands

One number, and each call to the right location.

If you run more than one location or brand, every call, booking and order goes to the right one: the nearest, the one that’s open, or the one the customer always uses. One set of rules for the group, with each location’s own hours and staff.

Escalations become rules · proposed

Decide it once, and the rulebook remembers.

When something comes in that no rule covers, it goes to a person on your team. Whatever they decide is drafted as a new rule, in plain words. You approve it with one tap, and the next one routes on its own. [proposed]

Coaching and reporting · planned

Who goes where, and how everyone’s doing.

Planned, not available yet. Route will read your team’s calls and show each person what your best calls do differently, alongside how the work was shared out each week. What it finds can become a rule. It starts once your team’s calls are recorded.

Coaching note · Lee K. Planned

From this week’s calls Gives a price before asking about the jobQuotes before asking how old the unit isSends listings before asking the budgetGives a price before the inspectionExplains fees before hearing the problemTalks about products before goalsQuotes a premium before checking the cover neededAgrees a fee before scoping the workDoesn’t read the order backSays no before checking the other storesBooks colour without asking about past treatmentsQuotes without asking the annual volume

Also included

Nothing falls between the floors.

Route is built for each business, so what it covers is set in the scope. [Confirm these come with every build.]

  • Starts where Respond stops.

    A booking Respond takes goes straight to the right person, with the call notes attached.

  • Your rules, written down.

    We write the rulebook with you during the build, including the rules that today live in one person’s head.

  • A person when no rule fits.

    Anything the rules don’t cover goes to someone on your team, with the reason it couldn’t be placed.

  • Counts its own work.

    What was routed, to whom, and by which rule. [What the weekly count includes: to confirm.]

Questions

What owners ask about Route.

Do we need Respond first?

Yes. Route decides where the work Respond takes in goes, so Respond runs first. Most businesses add Route once the calls are being answered and the bookings are coming in.

What does it cost?

Route is built for each business, so it’s scoped after the Schematic and priced per engagement. You have a number before you commit to anything.

How long does it take?

Six to twelve weeks, set in the scope. [Timeline to confirm.] We write the rules down with you, connect your software, and run it on your own work before it goes live.

Which software does it connect to?

Usually your CRM, scheduling, field service, POS, or case or practice management software. [The systems we connect to, confirmed per engagement.]

Who changes the rules?

Every rule is written in plain words, and every decision shows the rule behind it. [Whether owners edit rules themselves or ask us: to confirm.]

What happens when no rule fits?

It goes to a person on your team, with the details and the reason it couldn’t be placed. Route doesn’t guess.

Does a lawyer still decide on conflicts?

Yes. Route runs the search and holds anything that matches. A lawyer reviews it and decides. [Checked against your law society’s rules before it goes live.]

Route works on what Respond, Retain and Resell bring in. Above it is Reimagine: your whole team working alongside agents on the work nobody has written down.
