1 · Book

Every call becomes a job

Book it with New job while the customer is still on the phone. Only the customer is required; the technician, the crew, the details and the time window sit on the same record.

    With or without a sale attachedSee the day, the week or the monthThe customer gets a Confirm link and a day-before reminder, in your words, with the Customer Portal on Pro and Premium

2 · Dispatch

One day, a column per technician

The board shows one day with a column per technician and one for Unassigned. Drag a job to another person or another time to reassign it. You do the dispatching; nothing assigns jobs on its own.

3 · On site

Each tech’s day on their phone, no app to install

One morning message with a no-login link to their day, and another whenever someone changes it. On the visit they tap On my way, Arrived and Mark complete, so the taps are the clock.

    A text where the store texts, an email on BasicOn my way can text the customer too, with the Customer Portal on Pro and PremiumScan the unit’s serial to see its warranty and past work before starting

4 · Close out

Finish the job on the phone

Photos typed before, during, damage and after. A checklist whose required items must be answered first. The parts used, straight from stock. The customer’s signature under your service terms.

5 · Get paid

Record it on the order

The job’s order carries the payment. Charge a supported card reader from the order or the Register, or record cash and check. A refund goes back to the card from the return.

6 · Repeat

Visits that repeat, and what each one cost

Set a tune-up or a cleaning to repeat monthly, quarterly, yearly or every six months, billed per visit or prepaid. Then see what each completed job cost in labour hours and parts beside what it billed.

Also sell units or parts?

The same system runs the stock, the showroom and the delivery.

An HVAC company that sells the unit. An appliance repair shop with a parts counter. The sale, the job and the parts it used sit on one customer record and one set of books — the pitch a field-service tool cannot make.
