ServicePro: Field Service Management

How GetPost Labs approaches field service operations. Optimised dispatch, real-time tracking, and same-day invoicing.

Conceptual Prototype — Illustrating our approach

Executive Summary

The Problem: Field service technicians complete only 4 jobs per day. Office staff spend entire days coordinating schedules by phone. Invoices go out 2+ weeks after job completion. Route planning is non-existent.

The Solution: ServicePro optimises dispatch to increase jobs per technician by 50%, provides real-time tracking via mobile app, automates customer notifications, and generates invoices on job completion.

The Outcome: Technicians complete 6 jobs per day instead of 4. Customers know exactly when to expect their technician. Invoices go out same day.

The Challenge

Understanding the problem space

"Our techs were only completing 4 jobs per day. Office staff spent entire days on the phone coordinating schedules. Invoices weren't going out until 2+ weeks after the job."

— Owner, Adelaide Metro Plumbing

Field service businesses depend on technician productivity. When dispatch is manual, technicians drive past jobs to get to others because nobody optimises routes. Customer callbacks asking "when will they arrive?" consume the office.

Invoice delays hurt cash flow. When invoices go out 2 weeks after job completion, payment doesn't arrive for 4-6 weeks. Same-day invoicing means same-week payment.

How Technician Productivity Jumps 50%

Smarter routes, less windshield time

More jobs per day comes from less time driving and less time on admin:

Job Dispatch

Before

Office prints job sheets. Technician gets stack of 4 jobs. Decides own order. Drives past closer jobs to reach first on list.

After

System assigns 6 jobs in optimal route order. Technician follows GPS. Less driving, more working.

Customer Communication

Before

Customer calls office: "Where's my plumber?" Office calls tech. Tech doesn't answer (on a job). Customer calls again. And again.

After

Auto-SMS: "Your technician Mike is en route. ETA: 12 minutes." Customer tracks on map. Zero phone calls.

Invoicing

Before

Tech writes job details on paper. Drops at office end of week. Admin types invoice. Sends 2 weeks later. Payment arrives week 6.

After

Tech taps "Complete" on app. Parts auto-priced. Customer signs on tablet. Invoice emailed instantly. Payment arrives week 1.
