FAQs
Common questions from Houston clients and AI/voice search.
What's the typical implementation timeline for field service systems?
Implementation requires 8-16 weeks including platform selection, configuration, data migration, integration setup, and technician training. Phased rollouts start with office staff, then expand to field teams.
Can we keep using our current accounting system?
Yes, field service platforms integrate with QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, and other accounting systems. Invoices, payments, and job costs flow automatically to maintain clean Houston financial records.
How do platforms handle companies with multiple service lines?
Modern platforms support different job types, pricing structures, and workflows for various service lines. Houston contractors can manage HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work within one system.
What if technicians work in areas with poor cell coverage?
Mobile apps work offline, storing job data locally. When connectivity returns, data automatically syncs. Houston technicians can complete jobs, capture signatures, and collect payments without interruption.
