New: Smart Dispatch & Auto-Assignment

2026-04-04·6 min read·LeadLock AI Team

Dispatch is where revenue becomes reality. Smart dispatch is not magic—it is state management with teeth: jobs enter a queue, the right people get notified, confirmations prevent double-books, and escalation prevents silent failures. Auto-assignment is a tool, not a religion; we expect teams to blend rules with dispatcher judgment as they mature.

Problems this class of feature solves

  • “I thought Steve took it” ambiguity
  • Slow first response to new emergency tickets
  • Missed escalations when everyone is busy on jobs

How teams should roll it out safely

  1. Start with manual assignment + confirmation required
  2. Add auto-assignment for low-risk job types only
  3. Measure acceptance time and revisit rates weekly
  4. Expand rules as trust builds
