A good way to **track dispatch and installation dates for custom pieces** is to schedule dispatch and installation on a shared calendar, assign the installation crew and vehicle, confirm the date with the customer and record completion with photos and sign-off.

In **Jestor**, orders, crews and installation dates are connected, so production, logistics and customers share the same plan.

## Why do installation dates slip?

Custom pieces finish production at different times, and installation depends on crews, vehicles and the customer's site.

Dates are agreed by phone and changed without updating everyone.

Crews arrive to find the site not ready, or customers wait for pieces that are already finished.

## What problems does installation tracking solve?

- Missed or changed installation dates
- Crews arriving at unprepared sites
- Finished pieces waiting in the factory
- Customers without updates
- No record of installation completion

## How do I track installations in Jestor?

1. **Link installation tasks** to finished orders.
2. **Schedule dispatch and installation** on a calendar.
3. **Assign crew and vehicle**, blocking conflicts.
4. **Confirm the date** and site readiness with the customer through **WhatsApp**.
5. **Record completion** with photos and customer sign-off.

| Step                | Owner             |
| ------------------- | ----------------- |
| Production finished | Production        |
| Date confirmed      | Customer service  |
| Dispatched          | Logistics         |
| Installed           | Installation crew |
