5 must-have features to keep your electrical business running smoothly
Want your field service business to run smoothly at all times? The answer is simple: a job management platform or system packed with smart features designed with you in mind.
The experts at Eworks Manager have shared the top features that can help you keep your jobs and electrical engineers on track, helping you meet deadlines, boost worker efficiency and deliver quality service that brings in more referrals and revenue.
1. Centralised project management
Coordinating office teams, technicians and customers across multiple jobs and locations can become confusing and time-consuming, but centralised project management can help. With leads, job sheets, diaries, customer details, purchases, expenses and more in one place, you can stay in control of your projects and workforce without spending hours organising your workload or team.
2. Automated invoicing
Generating invoices manually not only takes time and can lead to errors, but it also affects your cash flow. The sooner you can get the right invoices to customers, the faster you can get paid and bring cash into your business. Fast and accurate invoicing with automation can help you save time, improve cash flow and provide a professional experience that lets customers know they can count on you.
3. Cloud-based storage
At the end of the day, you didn't start your business because you love filling in paperwork – you started it because you're passionate about your trade. Fortunately, our next must-have feature can help you say goodbye to mountains of paperwork – cloud-based storage. With digital files stored in the cloud, you can go paperless and access documents like compliance certificates on-site or wherever you are.
4. Real-time analytics
Growing profit is a challenge for every electrical business owner, and while new business is a great way to bring in more money, it's good to find other ways to increase your margins, too. One smart way to boost your bottom line is to keep costs in check with real-time analytics – you can see exactly where your money's going so you can cut waste and unlock more profit.
5. Mobile job management
Keeping an eye on electrical engineers can be a big challenge for field service business owners, which is why we recommend mobile job management. With a mobile app, you can see every technician's real-time location and know exactly what is happening on all jobs, wherever you are, improving visibility and helping you keep staff accountable.
