What Is a Dispatcher and Why It Matters
A service dispatcher is the bridge between customers, service teams, and management. They manage schedules, route jobs, and relay information in real time.
In a BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) setup, dispatchers are trained administrative assistants who specialize in maintaining communication and coordination without the overhead of hiring full-time in-house staff.
