SLA Compliance & Response Times

SLA breaches don’t surprise you on the P&L — they surprise you when a customer calls. The window to act is before the truck leaves the yard.

A Spaid engineer maps your SLA breach patterns by customer tier, job type, and tech assignment — and builds a dispatch intelligence layer that flags at-risk jobs before they miss the window.

Where SLA Breaks Down

The patterns behind your SLA breaches.

SLA compliance isn’t a staffing problem — it’s a dispatch intelligence problem. The jobs that breach are predictable if you look at the data. The same customer tiers, the same job types, the same tech assignments, the same time-of-day patterns show up in breach data every month.

Predictable Breach Patterns

Analysis of SLA data consistently shows that 70–80% of breaches come from 20–30% of job-type and customer-tier combinations. The patterns are visible in the FSM. Nobody has connected them to dispatch decisions.

70–80% of breaches from predictable combinations

Tech Availability vs. SLA Risk

Dispatch assigns jobs based on who’s available. SLA-critical jobs get the same queue treatment as standard jobs. Without SLA risk scoring at the assignment stage, breach probability is invisible until the customer calls.

PE & Commercial Exposure

For operators with commercial accounts or PE oversight, SLA performance is a P&L line — penalty clauses, contract renewal risk, customer concentration exposure. A weekly breach pattern discovered in a quarterly review is a 3-month loss that could have been prevented in Week 1.

SLA penalty clauses average 5–15% of contract value
Why Existing Solutions Fail

Tracking breaches vs. preventing them.

A breach report tells you what you lost. Breach probability scoring tells you what’s at risk right now — before the window closes.

What you’ve tried before
“Monthly SLA compliance report” — Shows breach rate after the damage is done. No mechanism to flag risk before dispatch.
“Dispatcher prioritization” — Relies on dispatcher judgment under load to identify and prioritize SLA-critical jobs. Fails under volume, inconsistent across shifts.
“FSM SLA flags” — Most FSM SLA features track due dates but don’t score breach probability based on tech availability, job type duration, or assignment pattern.
“Customer escalation process” — Reactive — customer calls, you escalate. SLA breach already happened. Cost already incurred.
VS
What forward-deployed looks like
“Dispatch intelligence scores jobs by SLA risk before assignment” — Surfaces which jobs are at risk based on tech availability, travel time, and job type duration — before the assignment is made.
“FSM API connector identifies breach patterns by combination” — Pulls SLA history by customer, job type, and tech across 6–12 months — identifies which combinations breach most frequently and why.
“Drift detection monitors SLA performance daily with breach probability” — Not a monthly report — daily flag when breach probability is rising across a customer tier or job type, with enough lead time to adjust.
“PE-ready SLA scorecard by branch and customer tier” — Weekly SLA performance report formatted for board and PE visibility — maps breach rate to contract exposure and renewal risk.
Engineer + Software

How the engineer and software protect SLA performance.

Breach patterns from 6–12 months of history. Daily probability monitoring. PE-ready reporting.

Dispatch Intelligence

SLA risk scored before the assignment is made

Analyzes job queue against tech availability, job type duration history, and travel time to score breach probability at dispatch time. High-risk jobs surface to the top of the prioritization stack before the window closes, not after the customer calls.

FSM API Connector

SLA breach patterns across 6–12 months

Pulls SLA history by customer account, job type, time of day, and tech assignment. Identifies which combinations generate the most breaches, which customer tiers have the highest exposure, and which dispatch decisions correlate with breach outcomes.

Drift Detection Engine

Daily breach probability monitoring

Monitors SLA performance daily with forward-looking breach probability scoring — not a monthly report after the damage is done. Flags when breach rate is rising by customer tier, job type, or branch so you have a 3–7 day window to address root cause.

PE-Ready Reporting

SLA scorecard for board and contract visibility

Weekly SLA performance report by branch and customer tier — maps breach rate to contract penalty exposure, renewal risk, and EBITDA impact. Formatted for PE and board visibility, not just internal ops review.
