FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How fast is dispatch after a job is logged?

Instant. The moment a breakdown is logged, ServMate identifies the nearest available engineer and sends a real-time notification with job details, site location and a parts checklist.

Can we manage both breakdowns and planned maintenance?

Yes — reactive and planned work share one calendar, so dispatch decisions always account for existing commitments, and preventive maintenance slots are protected.

Do engineers need special hardware?

No. The ServMate mobile experience runs on the phones your engineers already carry, iOS or Android.
