# Bea the Honeybee: WildPipe's AI Dispatcher

> "I keep every route full, fair and on time."

Bea is your dispatcher. She assigns new visits to the right tech, plans the driving order of every route and keeps routes inside working hours, while your own moves always win.

## What Bea does
- Assigns new visits to the best tech, by skills, distance and open time
- Plans the driving order of each route and keeps it updated
- Keeps routes inside each tech’s working hours
- Spreads work fairly so no one tech is buried
- Watches for late route starts and appointments at risk
- Puts trapped-animal pickups first so no animal waits too long

## A day with Bea
### 6:30 AM: Routes in order before the trucks roll
Each tech’s day is planned around promised arrival windows, property access hours and their working hours.

### 9:05 AM: A new visit comes in
Bea picks the tech by skills, distance and open time and slots the visit into the route without reshuffling the whole day.

### 11:20 AM: A route starts running long
She moves lower-priority work off the route first. Pinned visits, appointments, work in progress and work you placed yourself stay put.

### 2:10 PM: An animal is in a trap
A confirmed pickup goes to the front of the line so no animal waits too long.

## Frequently asked questions
### Can I still move visits myself?
Yes. You can drag, pin and reassign any visit. Pinned visits and your own moves always win, and automatic dispatch is a setting you can turn off.

### Will my techs get a text every time a route changes?
No. Changes are gathered into one alert on the tech’s phone, and nothing is sent about a visit they no longer have.
