Dispatch Me vs Handro

Dispatch Me is the mobile app for field service technicians working with companies on the Dispatch platform. If your company uses Dispatch to manage and assign work — whether jobs come from warranty companies, property managers, manufacturers, or your own customers — Dispatch Me is how you run those jobs in the field. For small operations, that might mean you're the owner-operator: accepting jobs and managing the schedule from the office, then switching to Dispatch Me the moment you're in the van. For larger teams, your dispatcher assigns the work through the back office and your phone shows you exactly what's next. Either way, from first alert to final invoice, everything runs through one app. **Your schedule, in real time** Jobs assigned to you appear instantly. See the full picture for each one — customer info, job history, notes, special instructions — before you pull out of the driveway. **Keep customers in the loop** Let customers know you're on the way with one tap. Send real-time ETAs and messages so homeowners and property managers always know where you stand. **Complete the job, on site** Upload photos, fill out inspection forms and custom checklists, and capture signatures right from the job site. Everything syncs back to the job record the moment you're done. **Estimates and invoices in the field** Build an estimate on the spot, convert it to an invoice, and collect payment before you leave. No paperwork, no end-of-day reconciliation. **Works without cell service** Basements, rural addresses, dead zones — Dispatch Me keeps working. Everything saves locally and syncs the moment you're back online. **Real-time dispatch alerts** New job, reschedule, or update? You'll know the instant it happens. **Track your travel** Log trips and mileage automatically to give your company an accurate record of your day. --- Note: Dispatch Me is the new mobile app for existing Dispatch users, rolling out throughout 2026 to replace the current Dispatch field apps. Access is provisioned by your company. If you download the app and see a limited access screen, contact your company's Dispatch account manager or visit help.dispatch.me. The companion back-office tool for dispatchers and managers is available at work.dispatch.me.

Handro helps solo tradespeople and small service teams run the workday without juggling texts, paper and spreadsheets. It is made for handyman work, property maintenance, lawn and landscape maintenance, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and other local home-service businesses. EVERY CUSTOMER REPLY IN ONE PLACE Customer texts and emails land together in one shared, searchable Inbox, on your own local business number instead of a shared line. Set it up from your phone: the one-time business verification carriers require, then pick your number. Handro answers STOP and HELP for you. RUN THE DAY FROM ONE PLACE See today’s jobs, customer details, addresses, notes, assigned staff and job status. Call or message a customer from the job, get directions, and update the work as it moves from On My Way to Completed. BOOK A JOB WITHOUT TYPING Say the job out loud using the microphone on your own keyboard. Name the customer, the work, the time and the price in any order, and Handro fills in the form for you to check before saving. Nothing to set up, and the app never asks for microphone access. TRACK HOURS AND WHERE THEY WENT Clock in with one tap and record what you were on: a job, driving, quoting, supplies, admin or a break. The day reads as one timeline with a running total, so payroll and job costing stop being guesswork. With your permission, a clock-in can also record where it happened. SEE HOW THE BUSINESS IS DOING Charts for revenue, jobs and new customers by day, month or year, alongside the numbers that matter this week. QUOTE, DOCUMENT, INVOICE Create estimates with parts, labour and tax; collect customer approval; then turn completed work into branded invoices. Capture site photos and complete field checklists so the job record shows what was done. GET PAID YOUR WAY Send payment links through Stripe or Square, take deposits or full balances, and record cash, e-transfer, cheque and other offline payments. Handro adds no payment markup; processor fees still apply. KEEP REPEAT CUSTOMERS ON TRACK Create recurring jobs for routine maintenance and seasonal service. Keep customer history, jobs, invoices, payments and memberships together. Sync customers, invoices and payments with QuickBooks or Xero; Wave syncs customers and invoices. BUILT FOR ONE TODAY.
