Prevent company van double bookings

Prevent company van double bookings on monday.com

Meet Sarah, the operations manager at a growing landscaping company with a fleet of five vans used by crews for daily jobs. Booking columns track the van, date and time slots, assigned crew, and job details.

One busy Monday, two crews show up, only to realise there’s only one van available! The tree removal crew is delayed, the client is upset, and Sarah spends the next hour scrambling to rearrange schedules and apologise to the client.

This really affected the company’s reputation, and Sarah’s not feeling great about it. Staying late, she discovers Automato’s scheduling conflict automation in the marketplace:

When Van is already in use between Start time and End time
Then notify Operations manager

With this setup, Sarah is now notified which item caused the resource conflict, and can follow the notification to the conflicting item. She can also combine the automation with any other action, like sending an email, or changing a status.

Now she can adjust the scheduling early, and arrange for an alternative van for the job. Disaster prevented!
