Mobile and home services

Offer appointments only when the address, service area, travel time, provider, job duration, route, and arrival window can coexist.

Open the lead guide

A mobile-service worker finishes one home visit, packs equipment into an unbranded vehicle, travels to another address, and approaches the next customer while a dispatcher monitors the day. — **A customer-address appointment consumes more than visit time.**Worker eligibility, equipment, cleanup, travel, arrival promises, and the next booking belong to one feasibility decision.

How the work moves

Follow the booking from request to recovery

Use one complete workflow so a change cannot silently leave a person, place, payment, or message behind.

Collect and validate the customer address before showing final availability.
Check service zone, provider eligibility, realistic job duration, travel, and route sequence.
Reserve an arrival window rather than promising an impossible exact time when the workflow requires flexibility.
Recalculate route, notification, estimate, and payment consequences after changes.

What the setup must handle

Must-haves

Address and service-area validation

Travel-aware availability
Job duration and arrival windows
Mobile staff change/reschedule path
On-site estimate and payment state

Deal-breakers

Any postcode can book a service
Travel time is a note instead of blocked availability
Staff edits do not recalculate the customer promise
Location fees or taxes are detached from the booking record

Lead detailed guide

Check whether one customer-location appointment is actually feasible

Mobile and home-service workflows need one combined decision across address, area, service, worker, full travel-and-buffer time, fee state, material changes, and dependent views. The shared guide keeps each reusable calculation with its existing owner.
