Workiz introduces an enhanced online booking feature that allows service professionals to reach more customers, book more jobs and stand out from the competition.
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is now able to handle many of an HVAC contractor’s administrative tasks, and also help employees perform their own tasks better.
During the shoulder season, HVAC contractors can focus on business fundamentals, inventory, training, and maintenance to stay busy and generate revenue.
Most every service company has had prospective customers call in to schedule an appointment with a dispatcher, only to cancel that same appointment at a later time. It could be because of a number of factors: They found a competitor with lower prices, someone who could come out sooner, and the list goes on. However, not every service contractor measures their cancellation rates.
This service management software provides owners with a dashboard that highlights opportunities for additional revenue, gives insight into the performance of technicians and dispatchers, and shows the profitability of marketing efforts.
While often unheralded, service dispatch is undoubtedly a key cog in a successful contracting business. With the proper people and procedures in place, dispatch can become a vital part of running an efficient, profitable service department.
I need everyone to take a look at how their company dispatches calls to technicians. I’m not talking about your technology, or whatever fancy system you have come up with that includes a map to the customer, etc. I am talking about how the calls are distributed to your team.
It’s no secret today’s customers are demanding more convenience than ever before. And, as consumer expectations and technology keep shifting, HVAC contractors are seeing a rise in the importance of online scheduling.
