Backflow Testing Dispatch Software
Twelve hundred devices due this year, a water purveyor that wants the report by the 30th, and a failed RP on a restaurant that needs a repair and retest today. VortechPro builds the test route by due date, dispatches the closest certified tester, photographs every gauge reading, and takes the card at the device.
A failed device is a dispatch.
Scheduling software handles twelve hundred due dates. What it can’t do is pull the nearest certified tester off the route when a restaurant’s RP fails and the purveyor gives 24 hours — or stop an uncertified tech from accepting the job.
a dispatch plan.
Due dates are predictable. Failures aren’t. And the report has to be signed by someone whose certification is current.
Due dates in a spreadsheet
Twelve hundred devices sorted by month in March; by June every reschedule is a phone call and the purveyor’s deadline is a fire drill.
Failures go to whoever answers
An RP fails at a restaurant and three testers are on routes across town. Without live GPS you pull the wrong one and lose six tests.
Uncertified techs accept test jobs
Every state and purveyor requires a certified tester to perform and sign. Without Specialist flags, the job pings whoever is free.
Reports in, payment later
The test is filed with the purveyor and the invoice sits for 60 days. Charge the card at the device, send the receipt with the gauge photo.
Closest certified tester. Repair and retest same day.
When a device fails or a purveyor sends a shutoff notice, VortechPro pings your Platinum testers first with a ~30-second exclusive window, then Gold and Silver. Live GPS shows who is nearest and has room before the next stop. Specialist flags keep test jobs with techs whose certification is current.
- Uber-style Platinum / Gold / Silver tiered routing
- Specialist-only flag for certified-tester work
- Live GPS map — assign by proximity, not guesswork
- Loud mobile alerts with distance + accept / call / navigate
A year of due dates scheduled. Today’s failure dispatched.
Build test routes by due date, zone and purveyor, then dispatch same-day repairs and retests on the same board. Office and field talk inside the job. As you add service areas, local devices stay with local testers.
- Immediate dispatch + scheduled annual routes
- Tiered routing on every outbound lead
- Office-to-tech chat tied to the job
- Local jobs stay local as you scale zones
Gauge photos, serial numbers and proof before you leave.
Purveyor audits and liability both come down to the record. Every test gets photos of the gauge readings, the device tag and the serial plate, plus notes that travel with the device year after year. The office answers the purveyor without calling the tester.
- Gauge, tag and serial photos on every test
- Field notes visible to office and tech
- SMS receipt to the customer
- Device record ready for purveyor audits
VortechPro keeps dispatch speed and field proof together — photos and notes that follow the device — so next year’s tester sees last year’s readings and repairs.
- Before/after photos on repairs and rebuilds
- Notes for readings, relief-valve behavior and parts
- Receipt via SMS when the card clears
Stripe on the phone. Paid at the device.
Techs charge the customer card in the VortechPro app via Stripe — right on their phone. Funds land in your own Stripe account. No orphan reader workflow. Pair payment with photo proof and an SMS receipt so the job closes on site.
- In-field card charge via Stripe on the phone
- Money to your Stripe account — we never hold it
- SMS receipt + photo proof on the same job
- Less “pay me later” chase after the visit
Backflow work ends at a device with the property manager watching. Getting paid there — on the phone the tester already carries — beats a 60-day invoice.
