Why This Matters to Your Business
The Pipelines section under the Operations module offers a visual, real-time breakdown of where each job stands across the fulfillment process — from the moment it's scheduled to final completion. This isn’t just a progress tracker — it's your operations command center.
With the Pipelines view, dispatchers, managers, and back-office staff can easily:
Monitor job statuses at a glance
Spot delays or unassigned jobs early
Ensure nothing is slipping through the cracks
It turns your entire job schedule into a status-driven workflow that improves follow-through, accountability, and customer experience.
What the Pipelines Module Shows You
To access:
Go to Operations > Pipelines in the main menu.
You’ll see job cards organized by stage, such as:
New
Scheduled
Confirmed
In Progress
Completed
Cancelled
No Show
Each job card includes key information:
Work Request ID
Move Date
Assigned Crew & Truck (if applicable)
Job Type (Local, Long Distance, Storage)
Status Tags or Flags (e.g., “Urgent,” “Pending Invoice”)
Service Location
Jobs move automatically through the pipeline based on system activity — no manual dragging or status updating needed.
Key Advantages of the Pipeline View ✅
📊 Visual Workflow = Operational Clarity
Instead of jumping between screens, you get a real-time board that shows how many jobs are:
Awaiting confirmation
Currently in progress
Stuck in an unscheduled or unassigned state
🛑 Quickly Spot Bottlenecks
Use the pipeline to identify jobs that:
Haven’t been assigned to crews or trucks
Haven’t been confirmed by the customer
Are sitting in “In Progress” but not yet marked completed
🕓 Track Job Aging & Delays
Cards can include timestamps and indicators showing how long a job has been sitting in its current stage — ideal for managers reviewing same-day or overdue actions.
🧭 Improves Dispatch Flow
Your team can plan daily operations around what’s still pending versus what’s ready to go. The visual layout makes it easy to:
Reassign jobs
Prioritize urgent bookings
Balance workloads by day or branch
💬 Reduces Internal Miscommunication
Instead of asking “Did we ever confirm that Tuesday job?” — just check the Pipeline. Everyone sees the same live data.
📈 Monitor Volume and Throughput
You can visually track how many jobs are moving from “Scheduled” to “Completed” in real time. It becomes an operational scoreboard for your fulfillment team.
Real-World Use Cases 🔍
📆 Morning Prep: Quickly check which jobs still need confirmation or crew assignments before trucks go out.
📞 Customer Service: View all jobs still marked “New” or “Not Dispatched” to proactively reach out to clients.
🚚 Dispatch Readiness: Filter for jobs without assigned trucks or helpers — assign before end of day.
✅ Completion Verification: Make sure all “In Progress” jobs from yesterday are now marked as completed.
Best Practices for Using the Pipeline Module
✅ Create Saved Views to filter by:
Location or branch
Service type (e.g., long distance, storage)
Jobs older than X days in a given status
🧠 Set Internal SLA Targets:
All “New” jobs should be moved to “Scheduled” within 24 hours
All “Scheduled” jobs confirmed at least 2 days in advance
🚦 Use Tags to flag jobs requiring special handling or approvals
🔁 Review the Pipeline in Daily Standups:
Align your team around what needs to move forward today
