Question 1

What makes GeoWise different from other booking solutions?

Accepted Answer

GeoWise is built specifically for field service businesses, not generic appointment booking. The core difference is location-based scheduling: every customer sees unique time slots based on their geographic location and your service zone configuration. A customer in Zone A only sees slots when a technician is already in their area, reducing total travel time across your operation. Most booking tools treat all slots the same regardless of location; GeoWise builds geography into every booking.

Question 2

Is GeoWise compatible with field service businesses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, GeoWise was designed exclusively for field service businesses: HVAC, plumbing, cleaning, home healthcare, pest control, beauty services, and any business that dispatches staff to customer locations. If your team goes to the customer, GeoWise is built for you.

Question 3

Which ways can I accept bookings on GeoWise?

Accepted Answer

GeoWise supports three booking channels: (1) Website Booking Widget, embed on any page of your website; (2) WhatsApp Booking AI, an AI assistant guides customers through booking via WhatsApp; (3) Phone/Telebooking, an AI handles inbound calls and books the appointment automatically. All three channels sync to the same calendar and dispatch system.

Question 4

Can I customise my booking widget?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The booking widget can be customised with your brand colors, logo, service categories, available time slots, booking flow questions, and any pre-booking information you want to collect from customers.

Question 5

How long does it take to start accepting bookings on GeoWise?

Accepted Answer

Most businesses are live within one business day. Three steps: (1) Configure your service zones, draw the geographic areas each staff member covers; (2) Add the widget code snippet to your website; (3) Start accepting bookings. Our onboarding team guides you through every step.

Question 6

Can I set up service zones in GeoWise?

Accepted Answer

Yes, service zones are central to how GeoWise works. You draw custom geographic boundaries per staff member or team, and the system automatically filters available time slots so customers only see times when a staff member will be in their area. This eliminates unnecessary cross-city travel.

Question 7

How will my field staff receive their bookings?

Accepted Answer

Field staff receive all bookings through the GeoWise mobile app (iOS and Android). Each technician sees their daily schedule, customer details, job location, and navigation in one place. They can update job status, add notes, and communicate with the office directly from the app, no phone calls needed.

Question 8

Each of my staff services different locations. Can we still use GeoWise?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is exactly the scenario GeoWise is built for. Each staff member has their own service zones configured in the system. When a customer books, GeoWise automatically matches them to the right person based on location availability. Customers always see accurate, relevant time slots, and staff are never assigned jobs outside their coverage area.

Question 9

Does GeoWise block travel time between bookings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GeoWise automatically calculates and buffers travel time based on actual distance between consecutive appointments. This prevents overbooking and ensures your staff arrives on time. Available slots shown to customers already account for realistic travel, keeping your schedule accurate throughout the day.

Question 10

How does GeoWise decide which time slots to show each customer?

Accepted Answer

GeoWise analyses each customer's location against every staff member's service zones and current schedule, then only surfaces slots where a qualified staff member will be in the customer's area without excessive travel. A customer in the north of the city sees different slots than one in the south, because different staff are optimally positioned at different times of day.

Question 11

Does GeoWise support multi-staff assignment per booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For jobs that require multiple technicians, such as installations, large cleaning projects, or home healthcare visits, you can configure bookings to require a specific number of staff. GeoWise will only show time slots where all required staff are simultaneously available in the customer's area.

Question 12

How will my customers be notified of booking status?

Accepted Answer

Customers receive automatic notifications at every key stage: booking confirmation, 24-hour reminder, technician en-route (with live ETA), and job completion summary. Notifications are sent via WhatsApp, SMS, or email, whichever channel the customer used to book, with no manual follow-up needed from your team.

Question 13

What happens if my staff is late for a booking?

Accepted Answer

GeoWise tracks every technician's live location and job progress in real time. If a delay is detected, the system proactively sends the customer an updated ETA notification before they need to call. Your operations team can see all live delays on the dashboard and act before customers are affected.

Question 14

Is there a free trial? How can I try GeoWise before committing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can book a live demo where our team walks you through the platform using your actual use case, service zones, booking channels, and staff setup, so you get a real picture of how GeoWise will work for your business before any commitment. Reach out via the contact form or book a demo directly from this page.

Question 15

Does GeoWise work if I have multiple branches or locations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GeoWise is built for multi-branch operations. Each branch has its own isolated booking pipeline, separate service zones, staff rosters, schedules, and customer-facing widget, while management retains full visibility through a central dashboard with cross-branch analytics and performance reporting.
