## Overview

Coordinate work orders, dispatch technicians, and balance workload in one unified operations dashboard. Built with DataGrid, Kanban, Charts, and AI AssistView for field-service dispatch and technician scheduling.

## Business problem

Field-service dispatchers face overwhelming coordination challenges that slow response and hurt customer satisfaction.

- No unified view of work orders, technician availability, and workload
- Manual scheduling causes overlaps, skill mismatches, and territory conflicts
- Overworked technicians create bottlenecks and missed appointments
- Dispatch decisions require context switching across multiple tools
- No clear visibility into which jobs need attention right now

## Application goal

Provide a unified dispatch workspace where a single dispatcher makes faster, conflict-aware scheduling decisions and maintains balanced workload across the field team.

- Centralize work orders, technician status, and scheduling in one workspace
- Enforce business rules: territory coverage, skill matching, no scheduling conflicts
- Surface overdue and unassigned work prominently for immediate action
- Enable AI-assisted workload queries and assignment recommendations
- Ensure every view stays consistent: same totals across grid, board, and charts

## Target users

Designed for field-service operations teams who coordinate technician dispatch and scheduling.

- Field Service Dispatchers
- Operations Managers
- Scheduling Coordinators
- Work Order Supervisors

## Business value demonstrated

Shows how operations teams can reduce dispatch time, prevent scheduling conflicts, and balance workload fairly.

- Faster dispatch decisions — KPI cards surface work needing action at a glance
- Fewer scheduling collisions — real-time conflict detection during assignment
- Transparent workload balance — overview charts expose overload before it causes missed appointments
- Accessible operations density — keyboard and mouse alternatives throughout
- Consistent decision state — grid, board, charts, and counts always agree
