Improve your efficiency with a cloud-based workflow management solution.
Through cloud-based technology, HVAC businesses can give themselves a competitive edge by boosting their work efficiencies.
Ageing practices
Many businesses still use paper-based processes, with job sheets having to be physically handed to staff, and appointments being allocated at the beginning of the day or week. This means that it’s difficult to reallocate jobs or add new ones during the day, with managers in the dark when it comes to the progress of tasks.
While email job packs are an improvement, they’re still clumsy and inefficient – managers will wait around for email updates regarding job statuses, and workers have to remember to check their emails frequently.
Replacing these processes with cloud-based management software streamlines the job allocation process and enables businesses to provide a more efficient service.
A simple solution
Through cloud-based software, managers can use dedicated app-based messaging to schedule tasks and send information directly to employees’ smartphones. Easy-to-use apps encourage workers to provide work updates frequently, allowing managers to track when a worker has begun traveling, arrived at a job, and started and completed the work. For workers themselves, it enhances the collaborative effort between multi-site teams.
Clients in the know
With access to real-time information, managers can be proactive rather than reacting to issues as they arise. Able to make quicker decisions, they have the time to decide whether to alert clients to delays or to reassign the job to other team members.
A solid reputation
With a more proactive team, the issue of waiting around for solutions is significantly less prevalent. This is particularly significant in sectors such as construction, where projects can be highly complicated and are reliant on many precise elements running smoothly. No more waiting means no more wasted hours of labour or mismanagement of expensive equipment, which can leave a large financial dent in a business.
At the end of the day, a customer is more likely to choose a service that has a good reputation and positive reviews. For a business, that means providing a consistent, quality service. With cloud-based software removing these hurdles to efficient management processes, building this reputation can potentially be very simple.
