The problems

What actually goes wrong in field services

Recognisable, specific, and drawn from systems we've worked on rather than an industry report.

  • Dispatch is a phone, a whiteboard and one person's memory

    Skills, certifications, territory and parts on the truck all factor into who should take a call, and all of it lives in the dispatcher's head.

  • Technicians do the job twice, once in the field and once on paper

    Work performed, parts used and time on site get written down and re-entered at the office, delaying invoicing by days and losing billable detail.

  • Recurring agreements are the best revenue you track worst

    Maintenance contracts renew, lapse and get missed in a spreadsheet. Unbilled visits and unrenewed agreements are pure lost margin.

  • Nobody knows what is on the trucks

    Parts are consumed without being recorded, so inventory is a guess, the second trip is common, and first-time fix rate stays lower than it should.

  • Two technicians quote the same job differently

    Without an enforced price book, pricing depends on who showed up, which shows up later as inconsistent margin and awkward customer conversations.

What we build

Systems we've built for field services

Not a menu, just a description of the shapes of work that come up repeatedly in this vertical.

  • Dispatch and scheduling by skill, certification and territory
  • Mobile work orders that keep working without a signal
  • Recurring maintenance agreement management and renewal automation
  • Price books with good/better/best quoting in the field
  • Truck and warehouse inventory with consumption capture
  • Customer portals with self-scheduling and service history
  • Technician commission, payroll and performance reporting
  • Route optimization and drive-time-aware scheduling
Constraints we design around

The requirements that are easier to build in than bolt on

Compliance, auditability and correctness cost far less when they're part of the architecture from the start. Retrofitting them is where budgets go.

  • The crawlspace has no bars

    Mobile tools must capture work, photos and signatures offline and sync later. Anything that requires connectivity at the moment of work will be worked around.

  • Arrival notifications touch SMS consent

    On-my-way texts are genuinely useful and genuinely regulated. Consent and opt-out are built into the customer record.

  • Peak season decides the architecture

    The first heatwave produces a year's worth of calls in a week. Systems are sized and tested against that, not against an average Tuesday.

  • Subcontracted labor needs scoped access

    Overflow crews need the job in front of them and nothing else, provisioned quickly enough that dispatch actually uses the system.
