Built around your shop — not bolted on

By the time they hang up, the lead paint testing is quoted, booked, and on the tech's phone.

Not an AI receptionist bolted onto someone else's software. DispatchNode prices from your lead paint removal catalog and rules, books the job on the board, collects Stripe, and the tech sees it on their phone.

Anatomy of a Lost Job

7:15 PM - Urgent Call

Family with a toddler discovered chipping lead paint on window sills throughout the house.

Estimated Opportunity Lost

The Old Way:
Losing Jobs to Voicemail.

A HUD grant approval lands on your desk with a hard 60-day completion deadline. Your office manager miscounts the buffer needed for lab clearance testing, and on day 58, the dust wipe results are still pending. The $12,000 job evaporates and the housing authority removes you from their vendor list.

A crew member's EPA RRP certification expired 11 days ago, but nobody checked. A compliance officer walks the jobsite, photographs the expired card, and issues a $37,500 daily fine that freezes every active project in your pipeline.

Your crew finishes interior remediation on Thursday, but the independent risk assessor can't schedule dust wipe sampling until Monday. The tenants, relocated to a hotel at $150 per night, rack up $600 in additional costs while the lab processes 48-hour turnaround results.

Lead Paint Removal — why missed calls hurt

Market reality

A housing inspector scrapes a windowsill in a 1962 duplex and the XRF gun reads 1.8 mg/cm² of lead. Two children under six live in the unit. The property owner has 60 days to complete a full abatement before HUD revokes the $12,000 grant and reassigns the funding.

How Hugo wins the job

A housing authority coordinator calls about an approved grant for a duplex where two children under six tested positive for elevated blood lead levels. The AI agent answers on the first ring, logs the property address, and queries the scheduling engine to reverse-calculate the 60-day HUD deadline against crew availability, inspection slots, and lab turnaround times. It books an XRF inspection for the next morning, flags the mandatory tenant relocation dates in the project timeline, and fires an API call that texts the coordinator the company's active EPA Firm Certification number. When the lab uploads dust wipe results via webhook, the system automatically compares each floor sample against the 10-microgram HUD clearance threshold and generates a re-cleaning work order if any sample exceeds the limit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the system prevent dispatching technicians with expired EPA RRP certifications?

The scheduling engine stores every worker's certification expiration date in their crew profile. Before any dispatch confirmation, it runs an automatic credential check and hard-blocks scheduling for any technician whose RRP card expires within 60 days of the project start date.
