  • Instant Alerts: Job arrivals, completions, invoice payments, and customer messages appear as they happen — live and in sync across devices.
  • Quiet Hours Respect: Notifications honor technician and dispatcher quiet-hour settings, so your team isn’t disturbed after hours.
  • Persistent Event Log: Every critical event is securely logged and time-stamped, so even if a notification is missed, you can view the full history later in your account.

Whether you’re managing one technician or an entire fleet, Dispatch Scout keeps your operational heartbeat visible — in real time and with full accountability.
