The Problem

Service Plus is a service company with 8 field crews handling repairs and installations. As the customer base grew, problems emerged:

  • Insufficient planning — Crews were poorly scheduled, some days were overloaded, others empty
  • Long waiting time — Customers waited 3-5 days for service due to poor planning
  • Crew unavailability — Dispatcher didn't know where each crew was and when they'd finish
  • Information loss — Job status, photos and reports were on paper or in different apps
  • Hard to track — Management couldn't see real-time job status and crew performance
  • Insufficient communication — Customers weren't informed about request status

The Solution

We implemented a CRM for service companies focused on planning and tracking:

Smart calendar

Intelligent job planning based on location, priority and crew availability. The system automatically suggests optimal scheduling.

GPS tracking

Real-time tracking of each crew's location. Dispatcher sees where each crew is and can optimally assign new jobs.

Mobile app for crews

Field crews have a mobile app where they see their tasks, update job status and send photos and reports.

Automatic notifications

Customers automatically receive SMS/Email notifications when the crew is heading out, when arriving and when finishing.

Digital reports

Crews send before/after photos, reports and customer signatures directly from the field — all digital.

Performance analytics

Dashboard with metrics: average service time, jobs per crew, customer satisfaction, planning efficiency.
