Contractors - Job Tracking through Mobility Software
Contractors today need to do more than just be good at their work—they need mobility tools as well as the tools of their trade.
Mobility means having the right tools for instant access to your customers, suppliers and the facilities managers who engage you.
At one time, mobility was a luxury for the tech-savvy contractor, but today it’s key—it’s a vital tool for vendors who are serving their customers and need remote access so they can be quick and effective at job tracking and job management.
Centah is a network company whose web-based software includes mobility tools to connect contractors with facilities maintenance managers as well as retailers who book vendors for home improvement and repairs. The addition of mobile access to the existing jobs management system provides users with on-the-go access to jobs from mobile devices.
It’s easy for contractors to use. Using your smartphone, laptop or tablet, all you need to do is log on to the Centah system to obtain and update leads and take care of your job tracking from start to finish.
Customers themselves enter their information and orders into Centah’s system in a number of ways, booking through Centah’s website, its call centre or directly from retail store locations or facilities maintenance management head offices. Your own mobile device gives you instant access, around the clock, wherever you are, when you need it.
It’s easy to see the practical advantages of work order management done through mobility devices. Time is money; mobility saves you both.
It’s a far cry from the old days, where a contractor would have to drive to the office, sign in to a desktop computer and then access the work order that was requested by facilities maintenance managers. Now, with mobility, it’s there wherever you are—the job management information travels with you, so you can get on with your work.
Web-based software solutions eliminate costly and cumbersome back office systems; they’re safe, secure and reliable, with multiple layers of backup built in too. With the added advantage of mobility you and your workforce can be in touch with all the information you need for job management of every size. You can communicate, in real time, with your own vendors as well as your clients and customers and keep them—and yourself—fully informed about scheduling, the state of work, supplies, time to completion and invoicing at every step of the way.
Reasons why mobility is the way to go for contractors who work with facilities maintenance managers and in renovation and home repair.
