You can set the system to automatically notify affected clients and offer rescheduling when conditions are clearly unsuitable, or to alert you for manual review when conditions are borderline. Rescheduled jobs are placed into the next available slots that maintain route efficiency. Clients receive a professional message explaining the weather delay and offering alternative dates, eliminating the need for individual phone calls that consume hours during rainy weeks.
Can the system handle both residential and commercial window cleaning accounts?+
