Plumbing CRM
In plumbing the day is made of two jobs: a building job planned weeks ago and a water leak call that came in ten minutes ago. Because the two share the same plumbers, every time an emergency call comes in the planned job is quietly pushed back, and the customer is the first to notice.
The site visit turns into a quote record; materials and labour are separate line items. An emergency call is a case record with a priority field and sits on the same day list as planned jobs.
- Prepare the quote that comes out of the site visit with separate material and labour line items, and take the customer's approval from the signature screen in the mobile app
- Drop emergency calls to a plumber according to priority, using the queue and the assignment rules defined during setup, and see them on one day list together with the planned jobs
- Build up the plumbing history of every address on the record and attach a call that comes back within the warranty period to the first job
- Keep the management of blocks of flats and housing estates on an account record and follow the flat-by-flat jobs and collections under the same account
| Site Visit and Quote | The site visit turns into a quote record; materials and labour are separate line items, and the customer's approval is taken from the signature screen in the mobile app and stays on the record. |
|---|---|
| Emergency Call | The call is a case record; it has a priority field, the queue and the assignment rules defined during setup drop it to a plumber, and calls that have not been closed stay in a single list. |
| Address History | The work carried out accumulates under the address record; the warranty end date is a field, and a new call from the same address is attached to the first job. |
| Managing Agent Account | The management of a block of flats or a housing estate is an account record; the individual flats are records attached to it, and the work and the collections gather under the same account. |
In plumbing the price is given verbally at the site visit: the plumber looks at the job on site, says a figure, and when the work is done what the materials and the labour came to is argued over. Emergency calls come in on the same day as well; because a water leak or a blockage cannot wait, the plumber is pulled off the planned job, and nobody tells the customer of that planned job. The most expensive of all is a fault that recurs while still under warranty: someone goes to the same address a second time, tries to remember what was done the first time, and the cost of that trip is not written anywhere.
In Rapitek CRM the site visit turns into a quote record; materials and labour are written as separate line items, the customer's approval is taken from the signature screen in the mobile app, and the figure discussed at the end of the job stays on the record. An incoming call is a case record, and the queue and the assignment rules defined during setup drop it to a plumber according to its priority; because planned work orders and emergency calls appear on the same day list, the job that has been pushed back becomes visible and the notification to its customer is sent from that same record. Since the work carried out accumulates under the address record, a second call from the same address within the warranty period is attached to the first job, and which job has come back can be reported.
What the plans cover and which items are priced separately are set out on the pricing page.
