Chimney Sweep Dispatch Software
September to January is one long route of sweeps and Level 2 inspections, with “there’s smoke in the living room” calls on top. VortechPro schedules the season by zone, dispatches the closest tech when a flue problem can’t wait, keeps inspections with certified sweeps, photographs every flue, and takes the card at the hearth.
Smoke in the house is a dispatch.
Scheduling software fills October. What it can’t do is pull the nearest sweep off a route when a homeowner smells smoke — or make sure the Level 2 inspection on a real-estate deal goes to someone certified to sign it.
a response plan.
The season is predictable. Draft problems, animal removals and real-estate deadlines aren’t.
The season lives in a calendar app
Sweeps are booked by zone in August; by October every reschedule is a phone call and the route is scattered across three towns.
Urgent calls go to whoever answers
Smoke in a living room and three sweeps are on routes. Without live GPS you pull the wrong one and lose two sweeps.
Inspections to uncertified techs
A Level 2 inspection for a home sale needs a certified sweep and a camera. Without Specialist flags, the job pings whoever is free.
Invoice left on the mantel
Sweep done, invoice mailed, paid in six weeks. Charge the card at the hearth, attach the flue photos, send the receipt.
Closest sweep. Certified when it matters. Draft restored.
When a homeowner calls about smoke, odor or a blockage, VortechPro pings your Platinum sweeps 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 Level 2 inspections and liner work with certified hands.
- Uber-style Platinum / Gold / Silver tiered routing
- Specialist-only flag for certified inspections and liner work
- Live GPS map — assign by proximity, not guesswork
- Loud mobile alerts with distance + accept / call / navigate
Four months of sweeps scheduled. Today’s smoke call dispatched.
Build the fall and winter routes by zone and day, then dispatch same-day calls on the same board. Office and field talk inside the job. As you add towns, local sweeps stay with local techs.
- Immediate dispatch + scheduled seasonal routes
- Tiered routing on every outbound lead
- Office-to-tech chat tied to the job
- Local jobs stay local as you scale zones
Camera stills, crown photos and proof before you leave.
Chimney work is sold on what the homeowner can’t see. Every visit gets photos of the flue, the crown, the cap and the firebox, plus notes that travel with the property year after year. The office answers the realtor or insurer without calling the sweep.
- Flue, crown and firebox photos on every visit
- Field notes visible to office and tech
- SMS receipt to the customer
- Property record ready for real-estate and insurance asks
VortechPro keeps dispatch speed and field proof together — photos and notes that follow the property — so next year’s sweep sees the cracked tile this year’s found.
- Before/after photos on sweeps and repairs
- Notes for creosote stage, liner condition and recommendations
- Receipt via SMS when the card clears
Stripe on the phone. Paid at the hearth.
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
Chimney work ends in a living room with the homeowner looking at your photos. Getting paid there — on the phone the sweep already carries — beats an invoice on the mantel.
