Technician Scheduling and Attendance for Service Requests

How are technician visits scheduled for service requests?

Technician attendance is typically handled after the request is logged and assigned to a service agent. The standard turnaround for a service call is 24 to 48 hours, and urgent cases can be prioritised when the machine is completely down.

What should you do after logging a service request?

After a request is logged, keep the reference number available for follow-up. If you need to check progress, quote the reference number when contacting the service team.

How can a request be prioritised?

If the machine is completely down, notify the service team so the call can be prioritised.

When can a technician attend?

Technician attendance may be arranged within the normal 24 to 48 hour turnaround, and in some cases a technician may be scheduled to attend on the same day or by the next working day. In some situations, attendance may also be confirmed for a specific day later in the week.

Can you request a specific time for attendance?

Yes. If no one will be available at the premises at a planned time, you can request technician availability for a different day or time window so attendance can be arranged accordingly.

What if the technician needs to contact someone before attending?

A technician can be asked to contact a nominated person before arriving at the premises.

Conclusion

Technician scheduling is handled through the service request process, with a standard attendance turnaround of 24 to 48 hours. For urgent breakdowns, notify the service team so the request can be prioritised, and provide any access or timing requirements in advance.
