Smart Filters That Help You Move Faster

As a dispatcher, you can sort providers by proximity, star rating, or filter by currently open businesses, which is especially useful during nights or weekends. 

To apply filters, start by opening the list view. From there, you can quickly narrow down your options and find the right provider without wasting time.
