Dispatch should not mean hunting through spreadsheets while a tenant waits. A useful vendor dispatch workflow loads the building, assigns the super, selects the right trade vendor, prepares access notes, and waits for manager approval.
A property-management vendor dispatch workflow should produce separate outputs for the tenant, super, vendor, and manager. The super usually confirms conditions and access first; the vendor packet should include site, unit, scope, access notes, trade category, and expected status update.
Vendor dispatch automation matches a maintenance incident to the responsible building super and trade vendor, prepares role-specific instructions, and keeps a manager approval step before dispatch.
No. Many workflows should alert the super first for resident access, safety confirmation, and condition photos before escalating to a licensed trade vendor.
