I finally ditched automated scheduling after 8 months of headaches

Everyone said AI dispatch would save me time, but I spent more hours fixing overlapping jobs in my 5-man crew than I did doing it manually with a whiteboard. Has anyone else gone back to basics and seen better results?

Wait, you mean the software that kept scheduling my tile guy and my painter at the same house wasn't actually a time saver? Shocker. I had that exact same problem with my 4-man crew, spent a whole Sunday untangling double-bookings because some AI thought my guys could teleport between jobs 30 miles apart. The whiteboard never lied to me, it just sat there quietly reminding me that Bill hates working with Dave. Sometimes the basics win by default, and your sanity gets to tag along.
