Planning field work around appointment confirmation
A requested appointment should not consume the same planning assumptions as a confirmed one.
A practical approach
Keep confirmation status visible while building the route. Identify who will follow up on pending requests and when the schedule needs to be reviewed. Avoid repeatedly contacting the customer from different roles to obtain the same confirmation. Update the route when the scheduling team records a final outcome.
Put it into practice
- Show confirmation status
- Assign the confirmation owner
- Update the route after decisions
