How it works

From the first customer record to renewal, each stage builds on the record created before it.

Stages

  1. 1. Add the customer

    Create one record per customer with their company details, contacts and sites. Every later step refers back to it.

  2. 2. Set up the contract

    Record the agreement: value, term, billing cycle and the services it covers. It is reviewed and approved before it becomes active.

  3. 3. Define the services

    Under the active contract, define each service: frequency, duration, location, resources and instructions.

  4. 4. Schedule the work

    Visits are generated on a rolling schedule from each service, and on-demand jobs join the same schedule.

  5. 5. Execute the work

    Work orders are assigned to a team or employee, who sees their assigned work and moves it through to completion.

  6. 6. Capture the evidence

    Photos, notes, materials and the customer's signature are attached to the work order as execution evidence.

  7. 7. Review and verify

    A supervisor verifies completed work. Only verified work orders can be billed.

  8. 8. Bill the verified work

    Draft invoices are generated from verified work orders under the contract's billing cycle, so every line traces back to the job.

  9. 9. Record the payment

    Payments are recorded and allocated to the invoices they settle, and each invoice's status follows from them.

  10. 10. Follow up on what is overdue

    Overdue invoices open a collection case, so follow-up is organized before balances age further.

  11. 11. Report and review

    Reports and the Command Center read from the same records, showing what needs attention and how the operation is doing.

  12. 12. Renew on time

    Contracts approaching their end date raise a renewal alert, and the renewal is recorded on the contract.

Deliver the work

  1. 4. Visit scheduled

    The quarterly visit is scheduled and becomes work order WO-3318, assigned to Field team 2.

  2. 5. Work completed on site

    The team completes the checklist, attaches photos and captures the customer's signature.

  3. 6. Work verified

    A field supervisor verifies the completed work order.

Bill and collect

  2. 8. Payment allocated

    Payment PAY-4410 is recorded and allocated to INV-2207.

  3. 9. Collections, if needed

    Had the invoice gone overdue, a collection case would have opened for follow-up.

Review and renew

  1. 10. Visibility updated

    Reports and the Command Center reflect the work, the invoice and the payment.

  2. 11. Renewal flagged

    As its end date approaches, CON-1042 raises a renewal alert.
