  • Going paperless keeps techs from congregating in the office while they pick up or drop off paperwork.
  • A list of safety reminders in each work order keeps health guidelines top of mind.

Eliminate the need to see the customer face-to-face.

  • Information for the on-site contact is in the mobile app for techs to call instead of meeting in person.
  • Follow up online with pictures and videos of the work completed so techs don’t have to interact with the on-site contact at the end of the call.

Proactively collect info about the job to share with the rest of the company.

Find answers to customer questions inside the well-organized location page.

  • View all of the customer’s location and service history and share records with them in the online Service Portal.

Keep track of work orders as they move through the service cycle so they’re closed and passed to accounting ASAP.
