HVAC / Ventilation CRM
With the survey note in a notebook, the quote lines in a spreadsheet and the installation calendar on the crew chief's phone, every change that comes up on site has to be written down in three separate places.
The duct take-off and equipment list from the survey go into the quote lines; a change on site is kept dated on the same project record. The maintenance period is a field on the account.
- Set out the duct take-off and equipment list measured at the survey as quote lines, and keep the revision on the same project record
- Set up the installation calendar and make crew assignments, and follow site progress from the record
- Keep the maintenance period in a field on the customer record; let those whose period has run out drop onto a list, and tie the filter change and duct cleaning reminder to that list as a rule
- Add up the material, labour and overhead lines of every project and measure profitability
| Duct Take-off and Survey Record | The duct take-off, the suspended ceiling height and the equipment list measured at the survey go into the project's quote lines; when the take-off changes on site, the revision is kept under the same project record with its own date. |
|---|---|
| Installation Crew Coordination | Installation jobs are tasks tied to the project; crew and date are in their fields, and site progress is read from the task list. |
| Maintenance Contract Management | A maintenance contract is a record tied to the customer account; filter changes and cleaning tasks are opened again and again according to the period field. |
| Project Profitability Analysis | Materials, labour and overheads are line items on the project; profitability is visible on the project card over the total of those lines. |
In ventilation the quote is built on a ceiling that has not been opened yet: when the duct take-off, the suspended ceiling height and access to the equipment change on site, the number of installation days changes too. The difference looks small, but because the same crew will be on another site that day, a two-day slip pushes back two projects at once.
Because Rapitek CRM keeps the survey note, the quote lines and the installation plan on the same record, a change on site feeds straight through to the calendar and the cost; what the difference does to the profit is visible while the work is still going on. When the installation is finished, the same record continues with the maintenance contract; because the period is a field on the customer card, customers whose period has run out drop onto a list and the next visit does not depend on anyone remembering it.
The scope of the plans and the separately priced items are written on the pricing page.
