What's the hardest part of scaling from 10 technicians to 50?

Sylvia Chen

We're at 14 techs now and planning to hit 40+ by Q2 next year. I've scaled teams before but never in field service.

  • Dispatcher bottleneck — feels like we're already there at 14
  • Quality consistency — harder to keep standards with more crews
  • Tooling — what breaks first in FieldPulse at this size?

What's the thing that actually hurt worst? Not theoretical — what actually happened.

  • Scheduling fairness.

    At 10, everyone knows who gets the cushy jobs. At 40, you've got techs convinced dispatch plays favorites. We had a near-mutiny over weekend rotation before we published the assignment algorithm (seniority + last weekend worked + skill match).
