Reactive work
disrupts the plan
Urgent jobs, delays and cancellations make it difficult to protect the schedule without manual intervention.
More-IQ helps field service and maintenance organisations schedule appointed, reactive, planned, and preventative work more efficiently.
The challenge
SLA performance suffers when field jobs face delays
More-IQ unifies your emergency jobs, routine servicing, and arrival windows into a single scheduling layer to eliminate delays and protect response times.
Reactive work
Capacity is hard to see
Teams struggle to know what slots are genuinely available, leading to overbooking, gaps or missed opportunities.
Travel and idle time reduce productivity`
Poorly sequenced work can increase unnecessary miles, downtime and operational cost.
Customer expectations rising
Customers expect to book quickly, choose a time that suits them and get confirmation straight away.
Built to keep field service teams on track
By building smarter schedules, More-IQ drives the critical operational and customer outcomes that matter most to field service teams.
Deliver more jobs with the same workforce
Improve how available field capacity is planned, allocated and used across the working day.
Reduce unnecessary travel and downtime
Optimise schedules around location, route efficiency, job priorities and service commitments.
Protect SLAs and service levels
Balance planned, reactive and urgent work while maintaining control over customer commitments.
Improve first-contact booking
Give teams better visibility of availability so appointments can be booked confidently at the first interaction.
Reduce manual planning pressure
Help planners move away from constant firefighting and make faster, better decisions about where to send people.

The company:
Raven Housing Trust
Problem:
Raven Housing Trust's ~7,000 properties relied on a purely transactional Dynamics 365 scheduler with no real optimisation. This capped efficiency and left the team unprepared for future demands.
Solution:
In March 2024, Raven partnered with More IQ and Tech-Labs London on a real-time, API-first optimisation engine spanning repairs, voids, estates, and assets. It replaced basic scheduling with efficient, flexible self-service booking for tenants.
Outcome:
Completed orders rose 26%, absorbing 16% more demand with no added headcount or subcontractor spend. Job times fell from 26 to 15 days, backlog dropped from 2,500 to 1,499, and complaints eased as trust and self-service bookings grew.
