A week of requests, site visits and work orders

  • A request needs an address and a time to look.

    On the client you keep the service address, residential or commercial, the access notes and how they found you. On the deal you set the job type and the date of the site visit. A new request is on the board the same day, not in a notebook.

  • Estimates go out, then go quiet.

    Each estimate keeps its number, the date sent and the date it is good until, materials, labor, the total and where it stands (draft, sent, approved, declined, expired). To keep the quiet ones from sitting, set an automation: when a deal moves into Estimate sent, add a follow-up task.

  • Then the job, and the work order that goes with it.

    A job records the type, the crew lead, whether a permit is needed and its number, the contract amount and the status from scheduled to invoiced. A work order adds the priority from emergency to low, the technician, the hours, the signed work order and photos.

  • What you installed stays on the client.

    Equipment records the kind, brand, serial number, where it is, when it was installed, when the warranty ends and when it was last serviced. Service agreements keep the plan, the visits per year and the renewal date. If you add Books, a quote is made from the deal and turns into an invoice.

Where new work comes from

A form on your website and a page where customers book. Both are set up in Settings.

Starts like this

The first minutes, as they go when you sign up.

  1. Step 1: Pick Contractor / field service

    One step adds 5 lists, 52 fields and 6 deal stages. Anything you already have is left alone.
  2. Step 2: Add sample records, if you like

    9 jobs, 10 estimates, 9 work orders, 7 service agreements and 8 equipment. Around them, a made-up business: clients, companies, deals in every stage, tasks, appointments and notes. All made up, so the Home page, board, lists and reports have something to show on day one. One button removes every sample.
  3. Step 3: Add your first client

    Add the customer who called this week, then put a deal on them in New request.
  4. Step 4: Start the trial
