Feature

Scheduling & Dispatch

Customers book an arrival window online; Norwon finds a specialist who covers their address and is genuinely free, and builds a day that respects travel and finish time.

Overview

Book the right person, in the right place, at a time that actually works.

Field scheduling breaks in two places: you book someone who doesn't cover the area, or you stack a day so tight the last visit runs into the night. Norwon closes both gaps with map-based coverage and finish-time-aware slotting, so every booking lands with someone who can actually be there.

  • Map-drawn coverage, not postal guesses. Draw service areas as polygons on a real map; each specialist draws their own zone, clipped to yours.
  • Balanced, conflict-free dispatch. When zones overlap, the least-loaded specialist wins — and a shared calendar makes cross-team double-booking impossible.
  • Finish-time-aware slots. Start time, duration, travel and buffers all have to fit before a specialist's desired finish before a slot is ever offered.
  • Online self-booking. A public booking link lets customers pick their own arrival window, with a minimum-notice rule you set.
  • Time-zone correct, coast to coast. Appointments are anchored to the customer's local time zone automatically.
How It Works

Built to fit the real visit

1

Draw your coverage

Map out where your team works as polygons. Specialists draw their own zones inside yours — no spreadsheets of postal codes to maintain.

2

Customer picks a window

From a booking link or an assignment, Norwon geocodes the address, finds eligible specialists, and shows only real, bookable slots.

3

The day stays sane

Travel time, existing appointments and complexity buffers are checked so a booked day finishes when it's supposed to.

4

Unconfirmed? It escalates

A confirmation SLA nudges the specialist, then your office, then us — so a quiet 'maybe' never becomes a missed visit.

Detail

No coverage? You'll know

If an address falls outside every zone, the booking page captures the lead and routes a coverage request to your team instead of silently showing nothing.

Frequently asked questions

How does Norwon decide which specialist gets a booking?

Eligibility is a member of the right team, assigned to a zone that covers the address, and free across every team they work with. When more than one qualifies, Norwon balances the load and rotates fairly.

Can customers book themselves?

Yes. A public booking link offers real, coverage-checked slots with a minimum-notice window you control. You can also assign visits manually.

Does it handle different time zones?

Yes — appointments are anchored to the customer's province time zone, so reminders and arrival windows are always correct locally.

Can we set working hours and days off?

Yes — each specialist's working hours, days off and existing appointments feed the slot engine, so customers only ever see times someone can actually work.
