Live technicians + scheduled jobs
Built for service businesses that live between the office, the truck and the customer’s front door
One connected system
Everything the service day needs. Without the software maze.
The goal is simple: the office books it, the technician sees it, the customer approves it, and the money gets tracked without re-entering the same information in five places.
Estimates that turn into work
Build clear estimates, send them for customer approval, and keep the approved scope connected to the job.
Technician field mode
Give technicians a focused mobile workflow for directions, arrival, photos, notes, signatures, completion, and payment.
Invoices, deposits & balances
Track deposits, partial payments, cash, checks, ACH, card-by-phone records, and final balances without losing the money trail.
Live dispatch map
See technician GPS positions beside scheduled jobs, route the day, and identify the nearest technician for unassigned work.
Customer automations
Keep appointment reminders, estimate follow-ups, overdue invoice reminders, service-plan reminders, and review requests moving automatically.
QuickBooks Online connection
Connect the company’s own QuickBooks Online account and hand off customers, eligible invoices, and completed payments without sharing one accounting connection across businesses.
A workflow people can actually follow
Customer → estimate → job → invoice → payment.
Each step carries the information forward, so the business always knows what was promised, who is going, what happened, and what is still owed.
01
Customer
Keep contact, address, equipment and service history together.
02
Estimate
Present options and collect customer approval online.
03
Job
Schedule, dispatch and guide the technician through the visit.
04
Invoice
Carry deposits and approved work into the final balance.
05
Payment
Collect or record payment and close the job cleanly.
Document the work
Before/after photos, technician notes, documents and customer signatures stay on the job.
Keep roles separated
Owners, dispatchers, office staff and technicians see the tools appropriate to their job.
Know what needs attention
Surface overdue money, unassigned jobs, follow-ups, estimate approvals, service due dates and low stock.
Built for the trades
Flexible enough for different service companies. Focused enough to make sense.
Use the same operating flow whether the company is dispatching emergency calls, preventive maintenance, recurring service, repairs, or larger installation work.

FAQ
Questions before you start?
What kind of businesses is this built for?+
Small and growing field-service companies that need one place to manage customers, estimates, scheduling, technicians, jobs, invoices, payments, and recurring service.
Can each company use its own logo and branding?+
Yes. The workspace supports company branding, including business name, logo, contact information, service area, and brand color.
Can technicians use it from a phone or tablet?+
Yes. Field Mode is designed around the technician’s daily workflow, with large touch-friendly actions for directions, arrival, work documentation, completion, and payment.
Does it support deposits and payments taken outside the app?+
Yes. Deposits and payments can be recorded for cash, check, ACH, card taken by phone, or another method. They reduce the remaining balance automatically.
Does it include maps and technician locations?+
Yes. Dispatch includes technician GPS positions, scheduled job locations, route shortcuts, and nearest-technician suggestions when location sharing is enabled.
Can customers approve estimates online?+
Yes. Customers can receive a branded estimate, review the options, choose one, and approve it electronically before the job moves forward.
Are phone, payment, accounting, or e-signature provider fees included?+
No. CenterDispatch is the software platform. Payment processing, accounting, e-signature and other connected providers have separate fees, and CenterDispatch phone/SMS service may also have separate number, carrier, voice, messaging and compliance charges. Provider rates, taxes and account terms are not included in the software subscription.
