No-Show and Cancellation Recovery

When a customer cancels late or does not answer the door, the office usually loses both revenue and technician time. This workflow immediately starts a recovery play so the customer can rebook and any open slot can be offered to nearby prospects on a short-notice list.

How It Works

01

Detect the gap

A cancellation or no-show status in the field app triggers the recovery sequence automatically.

02

Offer rebooking

The original customer receives a text with a self-serve link to pick a new time without calling the office.

03

Fill the opening

Customers on a waitlist or estimate queue in the same service area get an offer to grab the newly available slot.

04

Update the calendar

Once the slot is claimed, the dispatch board and technician schedule update automatically.

Key Benefits

  • Recovers revenue from canceled appointments faster
  • Helps technicians avoid sitting idle between jobs
  • Makes rescheduling easier for the original customer
  • Keeps the schedule tighter during shoulder season

In Practice

A 10 a.m. maintenance visit in Sherman Oaks cancels at the last minute, so the system texts three nearby customers who asked for earlier availability and fills the opening with a ductless estimate by 9:25 a.m.
