How It Works

When plumbing technicians finish jobs at customer sites, your office team needs to know immediately to process invoicing, schedule follow-ups, and update customer records. This automation instantly sends notifications to your office staff when field jobs are marked complete, eliminating communication delays and manual check-ins. By connecting your field service management system with your office communication tools, completed job details flow automatically to the right people, enabling faster administrative processing, improved customer service, and better visibility into daily operations. Your office staff can immediately begin invoicing, dispatch the next technician, or follow up with customers without waiting for end-of-day reports or radio calls.

The Action

The system immediately sends a formatted notification to designated office staff through their preferred channels (email, SMS, Slack, Teams, etc.) containing complete job information, enabling them to start billing, scheduling, and customer follow-up processes without delay.
