# Dispatchloop vs a shared spreadsheet

Compare coordination workflows rather than unsupported productivity promises.

Workflow | Dispatchloop | Shared spreadsheet |

Schedule conflicts | Server rejects overlapping technician windows | Team must agree and enforce overlap rules |

Field actions | Retry-safe queue with explicit server confirmation | Offline edits depend on the spreadsheet provider |

Customer status | Expiring link shows limited visit status | Team must prepare and share an appropriate view |

This compares workflow characteristics, not independently measured productivity outcomes.
