The finding01

The map

One type of customer, through your business.

The homeowner whose AC has stopped above your front door, your office and techs behind it, the tools along the bottom. Each gap is numbered in the order to take it on, with its likely cost.

Every handoff inside your business, and where the work drops.

The map02

The gaps

In the order to take them on.

Gap 1 · Between techs and office
About $4,800a month. Two chase calls per waiting job, and customers who don’t book again.
Our estimate · 65%
Likely between $2,900 and $7,200, depending on the shares.

Once the tech leaves, nobody owns the job.

The office learns a job is waiting when the customer rings. Only one person in the office knows which jobs are on hold.

For your customer, today

They call twice and get two different answers.

What good looks likeOne owner for every waiting job, and they hear first.A date for the part, and a call when it changes. One person to ask, who knows the job.Safe to automate Part-arrival texts and the waiting list.Keep human The call when a date slips.First step this week Put every job waiting on a part on the board, with one name beside it.Going further Parts ordered from the van, so the date goes out before the tech leaves.Work through this one with us
Gap 2 · Between office and techs
About $1,800a month. A second visit on about 1 in 10 jobs.
Our estimate · 60%
Likely between $1,100 and $2,700, depending on the shares.

The quote doesn’t know what’s on the van.

Techs price parts on the spot. What’s on the van lives in a separate spreadsheet.

For your customer, today

The tech is good, then has to come back for the part.

What good looks likeQuotes that know what’s on the van.Fixed in one visit, more often. A straight answer on the spot when a part is needed.Safe to automate Van stock in the quote tool.Keep human What to carry for the season.First step this week Before each quote this week, have the tech check the van sheet for the parts.Going further Each van stocked from last week’s quotes.Work through this one with us
Gap 3 · Between office and techs
About $1,500a month. About 1 in 10 visits rebooked.
Our estimate · 70%
Likely between $900 and $2,300, depending on the shares.

The arrival window never reaches the board.

The window is written in one person’s notebook. Dispatch builds routes from the board.

For your customer, today

They take the morning off, and nobody says the window moved.

What good looks likeOne booking everyone sees, and a window that holds.A window confirmed by text. A heads-up when the tech is on the way.Safe to automate Confirmation and on-the-way texts.Keep human The call when a window has to move.First step this week From Monday, write every booked window on the board, not in the notebook.Going further Customers pick their own window online.Work through this one with us
