Communications

Every call, text and email, on the job it was about

A dispatcher’s day is conversations. Excern gives the business its own lines, keeps each thread on the customer, the hauler or the job, and makes sure a missed call gets a text back before the customer calls the next company.

Lines

A customer line and a hauler line

Two business numbers on Twilio: one your customers call, one your subcontractors do. A missed call on either gets an automatic text back from the line that was dialed, and the voicemail lands in the feed.

  • Calls and texts from the office or the app, from your business numbers
  • Missed-call text-back per line
  • Voicemail transcribed into the thread

Threads

The conversation lives with the record

A text about the gate code is on the job. The hauler’s “done at 10:05” is on the brokered job. The AP email with an invoice attached goes to the Inbox. Nothing lives only in someone’s phone.

  • Threads linked to customers, haulers, jobs and invoices
  • Gmail and IMAP inboxes read into Excern; replies sent from the record
  • Team chat between drivers and the office

Haulers

Review before send, never automatic

When you broker a job, Excern drafts the dispatch message to the hauler — the job, the site, the container, the work link. You read it and send it. Their replies come back on the same job.

  • Drafted hauler messages with the no-login work link
  • Your customers never see the hauler; the hauler sees the entity you contract under
  • Reassign the hauler and the old link stops working
