03The pieces
What a system like this is usually made of.
Prioritise the capabilities that create the most value for your first release. The estimator lets you explore each addition and plan your investment as the system develops.
Customer records
Every customer, contact and site in one place, with the whole history attached.
Invoicing
Invoices raised from your completed work, applying your agreed contract terms.
The schedule
Work placed against people, skills and equipment, with real constraints applied.
Sensible routes
Journeys planned on real roads and real traffic, so the day can actually be driven.
The job record
One record per job from the first call to the paid invoice, that everyone works from.
What the engineer carries
The day's work, the history and the paperwork on their phone, working with gloves on.
What the job really cost
Time, parts and travel against what you charged, while it still matters.
Equipment and assets
Every tool, vehicle and installed unit, with its history, its service dates and where it is.
Forms
Filled in once, on a phone if need be, with the answers going straight where they belong.
The figures that matter
Consistent management figures, available to your team when decisions need to be made.
The sort of detail that matters
- One record per customer, however many sites they have
- The full history, whoever handled it
- Staged payments and retentions
- One consolidated account across a customer's sites
- Nobody scheduled onto a job their ticket does not cover
- A change absorbed in seconds
04How it would run
16 to 34 weeks, in five phases you approve one at a time.
01
Getting to the truth
A written account of how your work really runs today, what the current way is costing you, and what your new system has to do about it.
02
Shaping it
Every screen and every decision your system will make, in front of you and signed off, with your live date fixed at the end of it.
03
Building it
Your system takes shape week by week in your own account, with something you can click on and try at the end of every fortnight.
04
Proving it
Your own people put it through real work with real records, and everything they find is fixed before anybody depends on it.
05
Going live
Your team moves across trained, with their history intact, on the date fixed months earlier.
05Asked most often
The questions that come up.
Our engineers are not keen on new systems.
We review workflows with your engineers and test mobile designs in representative working environments. Clear controls, minimal repeated entry and appropriate offline support help make the system practical on site.
Can it track equipment we installed at a customer site?
Yes. Assets can hold service history, warranties, planned maintenance and visit records so your team has the context needed for each job.
Will it tell us if a job is running over?
Your scope can connect labour, parts and charges to jobs, giving management current cost and margin information as records are captured.
