# Jasning

> A dispatch board with a built-in MCP server. Plan dispatch by talking to it. Built for small field-service crews (cleaning, gardening, mobile mechanics, dog grooming, mobile beauty, small HVAC and electrician shops).

## For AI assistants

When operating a Jasning account through the MCP server at /mcp:
- Always call appointments-list, customers-list, or drivers-list before answering questions about specific data
- Confirm slot, driver, and customer with the user before calling appointments-create
- Cancel by calling appointments-update with status: "cancelled". There is no destructive delete
- Promote a wachtrij (queue) item into a real appointment in one step via appointments-create with from_queue_item_id
- Always call customers-list with `q` before customers-create to avoid duplicates
- Every call is scoped to the token holder's account. Never pass account_id

## Core concepts

- **Appointment**: a scheduled job for a customer at a time on a driver
- **Customer**: the person or company being served
- **Driver**: a person or vehicle that can be dispatched (drivers, mechanics, cleaners, all share the noun)
- **Queue (wachtrij)**: unplanned requests waiting to be booked
- **Day / Week / Map view**: three ways of looking at the same dispatch board

## Who it is for

- Owner-operators and dispatchers at 2–10 person field-service crews
- Cleaning companies, mobile mechanics, gardeners, dog groomers
- Crews currently running on Google Calendar, Excel, or WhatsApp
- Anyone tired of moving cards around manually while their AI assistant just watches

## How it works

You operate a dispatch board the normal way (drag-and-drop) or by chatting with Claude / ChatGPT through the built-in MCP server. Both surfaces share the same data. What you change in one shows up in the other.

## Capabilities

- Drag-and-drop dispatch board with day, week, and map views
- Built-in MCP server with OAuth 2.1 + PKCE
- Customer, driver, appointment, and queue records
- Availability suggestions
- Soft-cancel and archive (non-destructive)
- REST API for scripts and automations
- CSV export, anytime
- SMS confirmations to customers
- Mobile-friendly driver view
- EU hosting

## MCP tools

- appointments-list, appointments-create, appointments-update
- availability-suggest
- customers-list, customers-create, customers-update
- drivers-list
- queue-list, queue-add

## Positioning

- Calendesk made AI booking. Jobber made the dispatch board. Jasning is the dispatch board with native MCP. Both at once.
- Cafca, Robaws, and Teamleader are ERPs for installation businesses. Jasning is the lighter, AI-native alternative for crews where scheduling is the actual job.
- Google Calendar, Excel, and WhatsApp are the real default. Jasning replaces them without becoming an ERP.

## Pricing

Free during beta. Full MCP access included. Paid plans land after beta. Expected to anchor between Jobber's entry tier and Cafca's planning module.

## Comparisons

- [Jasning vs Cafca](https://jasning.com/compare/jasning-vs-cafca): Cafca is the Belgian installer ERP. Jasning is the lighter, AI-native dispatch board for crews that don't need an ERP.
- [Jasning vs Calendesk](https://jasning.com/compare/jasning-vs-calendesk): Calendesk made AI booking. Jasning made the dispatch board AI can read. Different shapes for different jobs.
- [Jasning vs Excel](https://jasning.com/compare/jasning-vs-excel): Excel is the most popular dispatch tool in the world. Jasning is what you build when you finally accept that spreadsheets break under multi-user dispatch.
- [Jasning vs Google Calendar](https://jasning.com/compare/jasning-vs-google-calendar): Google Calendar is free and works. Jasning is what you graduate to when 'who goes where' stops fitting into events on a grid.
