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
