JOB-128707:30–09:00E. Wilson · Baulkham Hills

The broken spring, done the same day

A spring breaks and the car is stuck inside, so that call goes first. The office books it into today: a time window and a tech who works that area. It lands on their phone. They accept, tap On my way with how many minutes, and fit the springs. The springs go on the job as parts, at cost and at your sell price. The homeowner signs for the work on the tech's phone, the payment is recorded, and the invoice is written before the van leaves.

JOB-128811:00–13:00E. Collins · Engadine

The new opener, quoted on site

The tech writes the quote on the driveway: the opener from your parts catalogue at your sell price, the install, the call-out fee, your terms. The cost price never appears. The homeowner reads it, draws a signature and accepts your terms, on the tech's phone or from the email that night. The office books the install. On the day, the tech adds the opener as a part and says who paid for it. The accepted quote's lines become the invoice.

JOB-129115:00–16:30C. Chen · Frenchs Forest

The door off its track

The tech gets there, the cable is frayed, and the right one isn't on the van. The job goes on hold with the reason, and the office sees it without a phone call. When the part comes in, the job goes back on the schedule. If another tech can get there sooner, the office changes the tech, and the job goes to them to accept.

Which garage door work pays

A new opener bills out big and carries a motor at cost. A spring bills out small, but it comes in the same day and it's done in an hour. A new door install bills out biggest of all and carries the door at cost. Which of them made you the most last month?

Steddy works out profit on every job the moment it closes: revenue without the tax (GST in Australia), less the parts at cost, less tolls, less the card fee, less the tech's commission. Then it lines the jobs up. Revenue by tech. Revenue by area (metro and postcode in Australia). Revenue by lead source, so the Google ad, the website and the word of mouth each carry their own number.

The day changes by nine. The office keeps up.

A spring call comes in and someone's morning moves. The Jobs screen says what needs a person: jobs with nobody on them, jobs a tech declined, jobs past their date, and finished jobs that haven't been paid in full. A job on hold says why: waiting on parts (the right spring, a motor on order), a return visit needed, the customer not home. Change the tech on a job and the new one is asked to accept it.

The three plans.

Watch a broken spring run from the call to the money.
