Common questions.

How does emergency lockout dispatch work?
The call comes in, you create the job, and assign the nearest available tech in the dispatch board. They get a push notification with the address and job type. Roooster is designed to help you send an ETA text quickly after the call, delivered through your carrier.
Can I track key blanks and hardware inventory per van?
Yes: log your van inventory in the parts catalog. When a tech uses a blank or a cylinder on a job, it's deducted. You see restock alerts before a tech runs out mid-route.
How do I handle commercial rekeying with master key systems?
Create the job, log the master key system details, and schedule the rekeying crew. Notes and diagrams live on the job record. The tech has the full key system layout on their phone before arriving.
Can I store safe combinations and access codes securely?
Yes: access notes are encrypted per customer and only visible to the tech assigned to that job while it's active. Not in a shared document, not in a group chat.
How do I separate automotive vs. residential calls?
Use service types to separate automotive and residential jobs in your dispatch board. Route automotive calls to your mobile-service-equipped techs and residential to your nearest van. Billing rules can differ by service type.
