Field Service

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest and landscaping. Dispatch runs on phone calls, service agreements live on paper, and technician notes never reach the office.

What You Get

Agreements that renew themselves

Every service contract with a start date, a renewal date and an automatic reminder sequence. Renewal stops depending on memory.

Dispatch without the phone tree

Jobs assigned by skill, availability and drive time, visible to the office and the technician at the same moment.

Notes that reach the office

Photos, readings and recommendations captured on site and attached to the customer record, so the next visit starts informed.

Why Now

Recurring revenue you cannot see is recurring revenue you will lose.

Field service businesses usually have the most valuable asset in the trades — contracted, repeating work. When those agreements live in a filing cabinet and renewal depends on someone noticing a date, that asset is invisible to the owner and worthless to a buyer. The same is true of the technician's knowledge, which currently exists only in their own head and their own phone.

What We Find

The Same Four Things, Almost Every Time

Maintenance agreements are on paper

Nobody can produce a list of which contracts renew next month, so renewals happen late or not at all.

Recommended work is never followed up

A technician spots a failing part, mentions it verbally, and no quote is ever raised. That is the cheapest revenue in the business, unbilled.

Dispatch is a person with a whiteboard

Routing depends on one dispatcher knowing who is where. It works until they take a holiday.

The office and the field see different things

Two systems, or one system and a notebook, and reconciling them is a daily job nobody wanted.

How We Fix It

The Work, In Order

  • Every service agreement loaded with terms, renewal date and automated reminder sequence

The quote that never got raised

Recommended work spotted on site and never written up is the largest untracked revenue line in most field service businesses.
