It is the first cold snap in Oakland County and the board is full by eight. Your dispatcher is moving jobs on a whiteboard, a tech is calling in for an address, and an invoice from last Thursday still has not gone out because the paperwork is in someone's truck.
With your field software set up right, the call taker books straight to the board, techs see the history and notes on their phone before they knock, and the invoice is built on site with the price book and taken in the driveway. Dispatch moves jobs with a drag instead of a phone call.
The rush still comes, but it feels like a busy day instead of a mess. You can see who is where, which jobs closed and what is still open, and month end stops being a hunt through clipboards.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.

Fix this in Oakland CountyWe ride along with your office and a tech to see how calls, dispatch and invoicing really happen today.
Job types, price book, forms, tags and integrations get set up to match your trade and your rules.
Office and field each get training on their side, with practice jobs before anything goes live.
We are on hand the first weeks after launch and fix what the field tells us is in the way.
What we report every month: Invoices sent same day, Price book usage on jobs, Average ticket by tech, and Calls from techs to the office.
All three book, dispatch and invoice. ServiceTitan is built for shops with a full office, multiple trucks and a need for deep reporting, and it takes the most setup. Housecall Pro and Jobber are quicker to learn and fit owner-operators and smaller crews well. The right pick depends on how many trucks you run, how much you sell on site and how much reporting you will actually read.
Cost depends on the platform, how many trucks and users you have, how big your price book is, whether old customer data comes over and how many integrations you need. The software subscription is billed separately by the vendor. We quote a fixed project fee after a short call.
A price book only works if it matches the jobs you really do and is easy to find on a phone in a basement. We build it from your invoices, group it the way techs think and add good, better and best options where they fit. Then we check after launch which items get used and fix the ones that do not.
Most rollouts stall because the techs were handed an app with no training and too many required steps. We keep the mobile steps short, make the forms match what they already do and show them how it saves them calls to the office. When the field likes it, the office data gets clean.
A small crew on Jobber or Housecall Pro can be running in a few weeks. A ServiceTitan rollout with data migration, a full price book and integrations takes longer and goes in stages. We set dates up front and pick a slow week to go live, never the first heat wave.
Familiar and cheap, but every handoff is a phone call and nobody sees the whole day.
Vendor onboarding gets you started, but it is generic and the gaps get filled with workarounds.
Setup built around your trade, price book and dispatch, with training for office and field and help after launch.
