    Dispatch, Inc.
    Dispatch is well suited for teams looking to improve their delivery notification process. The ability to notify customers via automated phone call or text is invaluable and takes the burden away from the drivers and delivery team on the ground, who can be unreliable and inefficient at times depending on the situation.

    Skedulo fits our needs for scheduling and uploading documentation for our medical research studies. Our phlebotomists are able to accept and decline jobs based on their availability and are able to give a decline reason. This is invaluable to us as time is important, and getting these appointments scheduled is imperative.

    • Occasionally it will not locate an available consultant because they put their block in on top of a previous appointment -- overlapping causes issues
    • Fix it so the human errors of us inputting blocks is not so "perfect"

    Support Rating
    Dispatch, Inc.
    Dispatch has timely customer service and set up support. Unfortunately, they are only able to assist via phone and do not have a chat option. Chatting would be much easier for being able to answer simple questions or software issues instead of having to wait on hold over the phone.

    Dispatch, Inc.
    We used Route4Me but surprisingly there are very few alternatives and companies on the market that are well suited for performing this kind of tracking. I am somewhat disappointed that Dispatch is the only option, only because the desktop and mobile applications can be so buggy and, at times, unreliable. But, the other existing options on the market are much worse.

    We actually use Skedulo as our only dispatching appointment program. Salesforce is not like Skedulo, but we use them together daily to ensure on-time specimen draws, delivery, and payout for all visits completed. Skedulo is very easy to interface with other programs.
