Feature / Work Order Management

Streamline every
service request

Create, assign, and track work orders from initial request to completion with intelligent workflow management and real-time updates.

Work Order Flow

Workflow Challenges

01

Lost Requests

Service requests get lost between phone calls, emails, and text messages, leading to frustrated customers and missed revenue.

02

Manual Tracking

Paper forms and spreadsheets make it impossible to track job status, assign work efficiently, or measure completion times.

03

Poor Communication

Clients don't know when work will be completed, and technicians lack clear instructions or priority information.
