Plumbing: the job reaches the nearest van

The setup

Owner Ray fans bookings@ out to the office plus four plumbers. Each plumber reads their own inbox on their phone between jobs.

How the mail flows

1. A burst pipe is reported at 7:05am with an address and photos.
2. All four vans and the office hold the identical job within minutes.
3. The nearest plumber replies with a 40-minute ETA from their own address.
4. bookings@ keeps the timestamped job record for invoicing.

Why Sinka fits here

• No dispatcher needed for a four-van outfit.
• Damage photos arrive full-resolution on the plumber's phone.
• Subcontractors get copies for a week, revoked when the job ends.

Watch out for

• First-to-claim needs a visible rule (reply-all 'taking 14 Acacia Ave') or two vans roll.
• Customers reply to whoever answered — make sure quotes CC the office for the invoice trail.
