Workflow Walkthrough
From Job to Dispatch
in Four Steps
Built around how dispatchers actually work — not how software vendors think they should. Pull jobs from ServiceChannel or create them directly, assign the right techs, and track live margin from the moment the clock starts.
Every tech. Every job. Right now.
Day-shift and night-shift timeline board grouped by crew. 38 technicians across Tuesday–Friday and Monday–Thursday crews, each row showing skill level (Apprentice, Journeyman), job blocks color-coded by status across a 6AM–5PM timeline. On-call roster visible at the top. Click any job for a quick-view panel with priority, division, service location, job summary, technicians, and a cached traffic map for active heat sectors — all without leaving the board.
We don't ping your techs. We pay them on the data that matters.
Most platforms run live GPS on a handset and call it a feature. Constant GPS is for fleet trucks — on the handsets you actually need data from, it burns battery, slows the app, and still misses the moment that matters. Thunder Station takes the opposite approach.
Passive GPS, linked to payable items
A position is captured at the three moments you actually bill on — arrival, clock-in, clock-out. The data you collect is the data you pay on. No background pinging, no drain, no chase.
Passive traffic caching for heat sectors
Traffic feeds are cached for the daily sectors you're actually working, so dispatch sees the map and the heat without a single live ping. A lighter load and a noticeably faster app.
Dispatch remote-lock until compliant
If a tech's last GPS entry isn't compliant, dispatch can remotely lock the mobile app until a valid checkpoint lands. One mechanism — roughly 98% more efficient than chasing pings all day.
Constant GPS is for fleet, not handsets
Fleet trucks can ping all day. The handset in a tech's pocket should stay quiet, last the shift, and hand you the payable truth. That's the trade we made — and nobody else does.
Constant GPS is for fleet. Quiet handsets are for crews — and dispatch can remotely lock a tech's app until a compliant GPS entry lands. One mechanism, ~98% more efficient than chasing live pings.

Find the panel a tech located three years ago — in 3D, right inline with dispatch.
Advanced location records store the real data about every facility. Share temporary view-only access with simple, granular controls. We are light years ahead of the competition for 3D geospatial dispatch.
Deploying to a mall? No problem. Pull up the exact panel a tech tagged three years ago — in 3D — without ever leaving the dispatch board. Only Thunder Station does that.
Advanced location records
Store real facility data — panels, access notes, equipment, service history — per location, not in a spreadsheet.
Temporary view-only access
Share facility info with contractors on a timer. Granular controls: who sees what, for how long, revoked anytime.
3D spatial memory
Every panel a tech ever tagged stays pinned in 3D space. Find the one from three years ago in seconds.
Inline with dispatch
No app-switching. The 3D model lives right inside the dispatch board — the only platform that does this.
One customer. Any number of locations. Dynamically linked.
Most field-service tools treat a store as a customer — duplicate accounts, orphan sites, billing that never rolls up. Thunder Station links every site to a parent account as live data: the account owns the rates and terms, the site owns the work and history, and the two stay connected no matter how your portfolio changes.
Dynamic linking, not duplicate records
Link any number of sites to a single customer account the moment you add them. The relationship is live data — no orphan stores, no split billing, no re-keying a customer for every location.
Each site keeps its own story
Store number, address, property type, square footage, year built — plus its own full job history, per-site margin and work orders. The detail stays at the site level where the work happens.
Rates up, revenue down, instantly
Billing terms and default labor rates live on the parent account and inherit down to every linked site. Each site's revenue rolls up to the customer. Reassign or split a site and the link updates everywhere live.
National account? 400 stores. One owner. Add a site in seconds — it links, inherits, and rolls up, live.

IN THE FIELD
What contractors are
actually saying
"We were running four different apps and a spreadsheet for job costing. Thunder Station killed all of that. In 90 days, we recovered $180k in margin leaks we didn't know we had."
Marcus Johnson
Owner, Precision Electric (28 trucks)
"The OT engine alone justified the switch. We were underpaying OT on 15-20% of our jobs. The audit logs gave us the documentation we needed for payroll compliance."
Lisa Chen
Operations Manager, Rapid HVAC Solutions
"ServiceChannel dispatch flows straight in, two-way status sync, no double-entry. Cutting the office overhead in half. Plus, techs love working offline — no more 'the app crashed' excuses."
