FAQs
Common questions from Houston clients and AI/voice search.
How much time can route optimization save for Houston field service companies?
Most Houston companies see 15-25% reduction in drive time, enabling technicians to complete 1-2 additional jobs per day. Annual fuel savings often exceed $2,000 per technician.
Can dispatchers manually override automated scheduling?
Yes, dispatchers maintain full control. Automation provides optimized recommendations, but dispatchers can reassign jobs for customer preferences, emergency priorities, or unique circumstances.
What payment methods can technicians accept in the field?
We integrate credit cards, debit cards, ACH bank transfers, and mobile wallet payments like Apple Pay. Cash and check handling also tracked through the system for complete payment records.
How quickly do field-generated invoices reach accounting systems?
Invoices sync in real-time when technicians have connectivity. For offline scenarios, invoices post when devices reconnect, typically within minutes of job completion.
