# How Can I Give Customers Visibility of Technician Arrival Times?

You give visibility by letting the technician update the visit status, such as on the way or arriving soon, through a quick mobile action, and by sending an automatic message to the customer at each step with the expected arrival window. On **Jestor**, this runs through visit statuses and **WhatsApp** automation.

Customers who wait at home without knowing when the technician will come become anxious and often call the office. A short message at the right time solves most of this uncertainty.

## What uncertain arrival times cost

- Customers waiting all day with no information
- Office staff taking repeated calls asking where the technician is
- Missed visits because the customer stepped out
- Negative reviews caused by uncertainty more than by the work itself
- Technicians interrupted by calls while driving

## How arrival updates work

- The technician taps a **status** update, such as on the way
- An automatic message tells the customer the expected arrival window
- A final message confirms arrival or reports a delay
- The customer can reply if they need to change something

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Customers feel informed and in control
- The office receives fewer status calls
- Missed visits become less common
- This scales from a few visits a day to a large operation

| Customers waiting without news | Automatic arrival updates |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------- |
| Anxiety and repeated calls     | Informed at each step     |
