Who you are · Operations · Controls & low voltage
Dispatchers and office managers run a controls and low-voltage shop’s real assembly line: calls become jobs, jobs get trucks, trucks come back paid. The board and the phone are built for that chair first.
the operations manager
The chair’s real problems
Intake leaks
Calls answered on cell phones, notes on sticky pads, bookings that never reach the schedule. Every leak is a job your marketing already paid for.
The board lives in your head
When dispatch is a whiteboard photo and a group text, you are the single point of failure for the entire day.
Rework eats the afternoon
Re-typing the call into the schedule, the schedule into the invoice, the invoice into the books: the same job entered four times.
The work
01
The phased install
Rough-in, trim, commission: days and crews tracked on the job today, with photos and notes accumulating where the walls will close. Phase tracking arrives with Projects (Next).
02
The service call
A reader offline or a camera dark, dispatched with the site’s install history: what was run, where it lands, who commissioned it.
03
The retrofit
Small works and upgrades quoted from the book and scheduled between project days, not lost behind them.
What the record hands you
The call becomes the job
The shop number rings with the record attached; the call ends as a scheduled job, not a message slip.
The phone →The board, whole
Every job, every truck, every state on one screen. Drag to reassign, and the tech’s phone already knows.
The board →No re-typing, anywhere
Job to invoice to payment on one record. What you enter once exists everywhere it’s needed.
The invoice →The old way
The punch list lives in a text thread
Items agreed on a walkthrough vanish into phones. A punch item that is not on a record is a callback with your margin attached.
The change order never gets billed
Extra drops added in a hallway conversation are real cost. Unwritten, they are a donation to the GC.
The closeout binder eats a week
Photos, test results, and as-built notes captured on the job as it runs mean closeout is an export, not an archaeology dig.
The day, from this chair
7:15
The day, dealt
Jobs to trucks in one pass. The crew’s phones update themselves.
10:40
The emergency lands
A no-cool call jumps the queue; the board absorbs it without a phone tree.
16:30
Tomorrow, staged
The next day is set before you leave, not at 6 a.m. from the parking lot.
Straight answers
Does the operations manager cost a seat?
No. $99 is the company, not the seat. Every chair on this page is included, from the owner to the newest tech, and a hire changes the crew rather than the software bill.
Can we bring our controls and low-voltage records?
CSV and Excel, Documents, The API: we map the columns and read what we can, with a dry run you inspect before anything is live. What we cannot take stays a limit you can see.
