Scheduling & Dispatch

Scheduling software for geotechnical, construction materials testing, and inspections firms

Keep projects moving forward and on schedule with real-time visibility

Using a mix of tools like Outlook, Excel, and whiteboards to manage projects can slow teams down and create extra work. Information gets scattered, tasks are harder to track, and teams often spend too much time coordinating instead of getting work done.

MetaField simplifies this by bringing work orders and scheduling into one place. It gives a clear, real-time view of workloads and staff certifications, so the right person can be assigned quickly and projects stay on track.

Customer Testimonial

Nobody wants to go back to the old methods for scheduling and dispatch after using the functionality within MetaField.

Customer Testimonial

We came from paper-based data collection into MetaField. This move has allowed us to see project schedules and where everyone is at in the process even across offices. Project managers also can access their reports without coming into the office.

Customer Testimonial

We get an instant notification once the technician accepts the dispatch. MetaField scheduling and dispatch has allowed us in large metro areas to be able to delegate resources much easier. In a few of our locations across the United States we have multiple offices. And in these large areas, the schedulers can filter resources specifically to those offices. So, if they are in need of assistance they can reach out.

Once work orders are scheduled and accepted, fieldwork begins. Paper-based data collection slows teams down and introduces errors. With MetaField, your team can streamline inspections and testing through real-time data entry—speeding up reporting while improving accuracy.
