As I add more technicians and vans, does the dispatch process get more complicated to manage?
For Locksmiths
The dispatch configuration scales with your team without becoming meaningfully more complex to manage day to day. Rather than a single on-call contact, you set up a technician roster in your account with each tech's coverage area, working hours, and notification preference (SMS or Slack), and Voksha routes each qualified job to the appropriate technician based on location proximity, current availability, and whose turn it is in the on-call rotation if you run one. As your team grows from two or three techs to eight or ten, this location-based and availability-based routing becomes more valuable, not less, since manually deciding which of ten techs should take a given lockout call based on where everyone currently is would be genuinely difficult to do by phone in real time, whereas Voksha applies the routing logic consistently and instantly on every call. You retain full visibility into the dispatch pattern through your dashboard, seeing which techs are getting more or fewer jobs, whether certain coverage zones are generating more call volume than others (useful for deciding where to add a van next), and how quickly techs are responding to dispatch notifications. If you run split shifts, day crew and night crew, or a mix of full-time employees and subcontracted techs covering overflow, those distinctions can be built into the routing rules so calls only go to techs who are actually working and available at that moment. The practical result is that a ten-tech operation does not require ten times the phone-management overhead of a one-tech operation, the system absorbs that complexity rather than pushing it onto whoever is trying to manually coordinate dispatch.
