  ServiceCEO Helps Window Cleaning Business Grow

Running your own service business is challenging enough but when you're relying on paper and manual data entry to operate your day-to-day activities, then it can become overwhelming. When Kevin and Lilly Hammond opened Top Notch Window & Gutter Cleaningtheir own window and gutter cleaning company in 1997, they managed their jobs and schedules by writing everything down on a large wall calendar or paper.

The Hammonds quickly realized that recurring jobs were slipping through the cracks and they were losing revenue. In order to grow their business and increase their overall customer satisfaction, they needed to find a software solution that could automate their business processes. That's when they turned to ServiceCEO.

Tips


ServiceCEO Tip of the Month

Using Job Substatus Icons

With most jobs, you tell the customer that you will be there at a specific date and approximate time. However, some customers may not know exactly when they will be available for service, or want you to come at your first available slot. You can put these jobs onto the ServiceCEO Picklist. The Picklist is a list of active jobs without a specific engagement time. When openings in your schedule appear, simply drag and drop the job from the Picklist onto either the calendar or the dispatch board to schedule.

For more information about the picklisted job, double-click the job from the Picklist dialog box. The job record appears. You can also right-click the job to access additional job options for the job and customer.
