Usually you hear advertisements to start your season off with a bang! But I want to know why you can’t also end the season on a good note? If you started out strong, you should be able to end strong and feel good when the season comes to a close.
Service scheduling software is a great tool to help you end your season with a bang. How you ask? Let me explain.
Service scheduling software keeps you at the top of your game the entire season, so when the season finally does come to an end, you are not left with a mess.
Scheduled Blowouts –With a field service scheduling software, you are able to ensure no blowout is missed. You can ask your customer when they would like their blowout done at the beginning of the season and put it on the calendar right from the field. If they are unsure that far in advance, the office can set up a reminder to call the customer later in the season. Ending the season with a bang can be as simple as not having a single missed appointment, or having a customer extremely pleased with the efficiency of the company.
If you are in the snow plowing business, it can be a great time to be proactive about the upcoming season and ensure you have revenue coming in for the next season. You can reach out to all of the Spring and Summer season customers and ask if they would be interested in any of your snow or ice services. Ending the season with a bang could be adding one extra stop on your snow route.
Cutting Paperwork – Ending the season with a bang could be as simple as eliminating paperwork. Think of all of the work orders and sheets with reminders you have to sift through. Having everything on the computer, a tablet, or a smartphone allows you to cut your office time in half.
Once the season is done, you don’t want to spend months afterwards organizing, you want to start preparing for the next season. With a field service software program in place, your organization is taken to a whole new level.
Quick Invoicing – Think of all of the final bills that need to be sent out. It would be nice to receive the money as quickly as possible, instead of waiting for the invoices to be drafted and sent. With a field service software program, invoices can be done same day. This means that on your final day of the season , you can also send out the final bills. Ending your season with a bang could be thesatisfaction of not having invoices waiting to be sent out. Think of how much happier you will be knowing you don’t have uncollected revenue sitting on your desk.
Try leaving your season on a high note this year with service scheduling software. There are many ways you can prepare for the end of the season so when that time comes, you are not running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
