Your Remote Back-Office & Dispatch Center

From routing your techs efficiently across town to drafting accurate estimates while you're on the roof, our VAs handle the admin so you can turn wrenches and close deals.

Dispatch & Lead Management

Never miss a ringing phone or let an emergency lead go to a competitor. We manage the schedule.

  • Virtual Receptionist: Answering inbound calls, qualifying leads, and booking appointments directly into your calendar.
  • Intelligent Routing: Optimizing technician drive times and assigning jobs based on skill level in ServiceTitan or Jobber.
  • Customer Comms: Sending "On the way" texts, ETA updates, and gathering post-job reviews on Google/Thumbtack.

Estimating & Invoicing

Turn your scribbled notes from a site visit into professional, branded quotes sent the same day.

  • Quote Drafting: Inputting materials, labor rates, and standardized markups to create clean, accurate estimates.
  • Estimate Follow-up: Chasing down clients who haven't approved quotes yet to increase your close rate.
  • QuickBooks Syncing: Converting approved jobs to invoices, tracking payments, and sending polite overdue reminders.

Back-Office Logistics

Keep jobs moving forward by ensuring materials, permits, and paperwork are handled before the crew arrives.

  • Material Ordering: Placing supply orders with local vendors (Ferguson, Home Depot Pro) for next-day pickup.
  • Permit Applications: Filling out municipal applications and following up with the city to prevent job delays.
  • Subcontractor Tracking: Collecting W-9s, tracking COI expirations, and managing lien waivers for larger GC projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your VAs trained on dispatch software like ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro?
Yes. We match you with VAs who already have experience in your specific field service management (FSM) software. They can navigate the dispatch board, input client details, update job statuses, and process invoices without you having to train them from scratch.
Can the VA answer live inbound phone calls?
Yes. By setting up a VOIP system (like RingCentral, Dialpad, or OpenPhone), your VA can act as your frontline receptionist. They are vetted for clear, professional English and can qualify leads, answer basic scheduling questions, and book jobs directly while you are on a job site.
How do they draft estimates if they aren't on site?
You provide the rough data—via a quick voice note, a text message from the field, or scribbled notes uploaded to your CRM. The VA takes those rough details, applies your standardized material and labor markups from your price book, and formats a professional, branded estimate ready for your final approval.
Why do I need a Project Manager if I am hiring an Admin VA?
In the trades, sending a quote with a missed zero or double-booking a tech can cost thousands. Your free Sagedoer Project Manager acts as an internal Quality Assurance lead—spot-checking estimates for accuracy, monitoring the dispatch board for missed appointments, and ensuring the VA follows your exact phone scripts perfectly.
