Flexible duration
Use short blocks for inspections and service calls or longer blocks for installations and complex work.
Scheduling and dispatch
Schedule short service calls and full-day installs clearly.
850 Work schedules jobs with exact start times, flexible duration, assigned people, travel or preparation buffers, and follow-up status. A job can take 15 minutes, three hours, seven hours, or another practical duration instead of being forced into one fixed block size.
Plan the day
Useful scheduling without pretending every job is the same
Crew and buffers
Assign the people needed and include setup, travel, cleanup, or handoff time around the work.
Duration suggestions
Compare completed work of the same type and suggest a realistic duration while leaving the final decision with the scheduler.
Website requests
Use the scheduling API details to send appointment requests from a business website into the 850 Work review queue.
Approve or decline
Review requested time, customer details, location, and work description before creating a real job.
Needs follow-up
Surface work that needs another visit, customer response, payment check, or scheduling decision.
Dispatch map
Review open jobs, map-ready service locations, and recent voluntary worker location updates without replacing the schedule.
Preferred navigation
Open Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or the device default from a job. External map apps handle turn-by-turn directions.
Field operations
Dispatch jobs without building another navigation app
850 Work keeps the job queue, customer service locations, saved map pins, assignment status, and optional worker updates together. Technicians use the Navigate action to open the map app they already trust for directions.
Privacy-visible sharing
Workers choose when to share a current location. The initial release stores a visible one-time update instead of continuous background tracking.
Commercial vehicle boundary
Dispatch maps provide situational awareness only. Drivers remain responsible for navigation appropriate to vehicle height, weight, restrictions, and cargo.

How an online appointment request becomes a job
- A customer submits the business website form. The form sends approved fields through the scheduling connection point.
- The request appears for review. Nothing becomes a confirmed job without the business reviewing it.
- The scheduler approves, declines, or archives it. Approved requests can be converted into a customer and job record.
- The team assigns the time and people. Final duration, crew, and buffers stay under business control.

Frequently asked questions
Can a job be scheduled for seven hours?
Yes. Job duration is flexible, so a full installation can use a seven-hour block while a quick service call can use a much shorter block.
Does 850 Work automatically change the schedule?
No. It can suggest duration from completed work, but the business approves the final schedule.
Can a company website send appointment requests into 850 Work?
Yes. The scheduling connection point accepts website requests for review, approval, decline, or conversion into a job.
