Outsourcing Assistant guide
Maintain a home-service job board with a Philippines-based assistant
A topic-specific guide for a home-service operator coordinating inquiries, visits, and technician notes, focused on showing which jobs are ready, waiting, or blocked before the next dispatch decision.
Make job state factual
A home-service board should reconcile customer request, address, appointment state, and technician note. “Ready” means the required source details are present, not that the job is guaranteed.
Keep dispatch authority clear
The assistant can expose missing details and prepare a scheduling note. Diagnosis, unapproved quotes, guarantees, and dispatch decisions belong to the operator.
Handle changes explicitly
Record who changed an appointment, what source supported it, and what the customer was told. Conflicting notes stay visible until the owner resolves them.
Use the board for handoff
Every job needs a current state, next owner, and review window. A quiet row is not complete unless its evidence says why.
Keep planning
