What Handshapes does

Scheduling, dispatch, contacts and billing, written for sign language interpreting agencies from the start.

Find an interpreter who fits the job.

Matching

Looks at credentials, consumer preferences, location, availability and which jobs each interpreter has accepted before, so schedulers don't have to guess.

Offers in Waves

Offers go to the best-fit interpreters first. If no one accepts, the next wave goes out automatically.

Series & Recurring

Set up appointments that repeat daily, weekly or monthly. Offers for the whole series go out at once.

A calendar your schedulers can work from.

Three Views

Day, week and month views, with appointments laid out on a time grid. Click a day to open it.

Drag-and-Drop

Drag an appointment to a new time to reschedule it. You confirm the change after seeing the old and new times.

Focus Modes

View the schedule by appointment status, interpreter, customer or Deaf consumer, whichever way you think about it.

Real-Time Updates

When an interpreter accepts, everyone sees it right away, without refreshing the page.

Customers, interpreters and consumers, with their history.

Contacts

Customers, interpreters, Deaf consumers and their contacts, with search, filters and history.

Document Management

Keep contracts, certifications, NDAs and compliance documents on each contact's record.

Communication History

Emails, texts and notifications are logged on the contact and appointment they relate to.

Offers go out and replies come back automatically.

Multi-Channel

Offers go out by email, text and push notification. Interpreters accept with one tap.

On-Demand Pools

Set up interpreter pools for VRI or on-site standby. Offers go to the whole pool, ranked by distance.

Status Tracking

See who got each offer, who accepted, who declined and who hasn't answered yet, as it happens.

Deaf consumers rate their interpreters.

Ratings & Feedback

Deaf consumers rate the interpreter after each appointment, and the matching engine uses those ratings.

Preferences

Consumers can mark the interpreters they prefer, ask for the same interpreter again, and flag ones that weren't a good fit.

Consumer Portal

Consumers have their own portal to see upcoming appointments, leave feedback and send messages.
