Scheduling and Dispatching
This feature is a basic resource that comes with all the management software. But with Field Promax, a HVAC service scheduling software you have extra benefits like being able to drag and drop the scheduled work order on the calendar along with the assigned technician. You can also attach the dispatch details and customer information for the technician’s reference and a better understanding of the work order. This helps with organizing all the work orders prior to last minute tension and stress. It also provides an insight of all the assigned technicians which can help avoid overbooking, rebooking or any confusions regarding the allotment of fieldwork.

Mobile App
The HVAC field software is the most essential when the technicians are on the field and have to complete certain tasks like creating bills, filling forms, equipment history or getting customer approval. To make these manual works more digitized and quicker, the HVAC Field Management App is the most convenient resort. It helps with generating invoices on the field on completion of work orders, adding pictures of the before and after of the fieldwork, communicating with superiors off the field, tracking working hours etc. The mobile app is a xerox substitute of the website software and increases the mobility of the software itself.
-
Bills
One of the major functions of the HVAC business or any business for that matter is the creation of bills and getting paid right. Though creating bills may look simple and ordinary, the HVAC business invoicing software gives its users more privileges like adding images to the bills, including equipment information, getting digital signatures from clients and updating it all on cloud at the same time to be accessed from the office in real time. The HVAC Business Invoicing Software also sends estimates through email to customers for their approval before creating the work order. It helps sustain the authenticity of the organization and keep a record of everything for future references.
-
Tracking
Another feature the HVAC Management Software provides is the option to view your technician’s location on the field or on the way to the field. It helps find easy routes and the estimated time of travel to plan the dispatch ahead of time and be punctual. The software also tracks the working hours of the technicians by calculating the starting and ending timings to increase billable hours if they’ve exceeded the initial working limits. The organization can track the location of their equipment with the help of previous field reports or invoices. The software provides the source to track your equipment by searching the tools you require and getting the entire update of who used it, when and where etc.
-
Reports and Dashboards
This is a very important feature provided by the HVAC Business Software. It provides all the necessary information about different sections of the company like scheduling, dispatching, technicians, invoices, work orders etc. It gives the organization an analysis of its daily, weekly, monthly and yearly progress and performance. The software arranges all the data from the regular reports and puts them into graphs and charts on the dashboard for a better and clear understanding of the company’s journey.
These five essentials are a part of a bigger picture the HVAC Business Software provides. It ensures that every HVAC business software has a speedy growth and well managed office space. The digital office helps the business keep track of everything from various locations and time zones.
