Get jobs scheduled without slow page loads.
Service Fusion is a solid back-office FSM software, but its daily dispatch board can be complex to learn and slow to respond on tablet screens. Gainhelm offers a fast, clean dispatching board built for small trades teams that want simple schedules and instant routing.
Built for trades businesses that need a clean daily plan without spreadsheets or 6-month onboarding programs.
🚀 Agent-First Dispatching
Instead of managing messy visual calendars, Gainhelm runs a headless AI dispatcher. Technicians coordinate jobs entirely via automated text messages, while you supervise real-time logs and business rules from a single dashboard.
