A mobile proposal and staffing solution reduces delays between estimate and acceptance, improves field staff utilization, and centralizes signed agreements for compliance and payroll processing.
Field technicians use an iPad to walk customers through diagnostics, select parts and services, and present a ready-to-sign proposal at the point of contact. This reduces delays, captures customer decisions immediately, and creates a record that integrates with scheduling and payroll systems.
Dispatchers or staffing coordinators receive signed proposals and immediately match available technicians to accepted jobs. They monitor staffing levels, update schedules in real time, and maintain signed agreements for billing and regulatory compliance purposes.
Field technicians, sales reps, dispatchers, and HR or staffing coordinators use mobile proposals to reduce turnaround times and improve accuracy.
Cross-functional use yields faster onboarding of accepted work, clearer assignment of technicians, and better recordkeeping for payroll and compliance.
A customizable template library lets field staff generate consistent, brand-compliant HVAC proposals from iPad with pre-set service items, pricing rules, and warranty language, reducing manual entry and ensuring clarity for customers and schedulers.
Integrated electronic signature on the iPad captures customer acceptance at the point of contact and stores a validated signature record with an audit trail for billing and compliance purposes.
Automatic handoff sends accepted proposals to dispatch and staffing modules to reserve technician slots, manage certifications, and align payroll codes based on the signed job details.
Reliable offline functionality enables proposal creation and signature capture when technicians are offline, then syncs securely when connectivity is restored to avoid workflow interruptions.
