Digitizing Work Orders with Smart Service Works App

What is a work order?

Many of you are probably aware of work orders. For those of you how might be new to the home services industry, we’ll go over a work order briefly for you. A work order gives written instructions to the service technician and how he or she should approach completing the work. For example, if you run a plumbing business, it’s important that you draw up work orders for your staff that outline all of the work that will be performed for the customer. A work order will generally contain the following elements:

• Instructions on the work being performed
• Cost estimates
• Forms that can be filled out by the service provider as well as the customer
• Date and time to execute the work order
• Information about the location and entities to execute the work order
• The person to whom the work order is assigned

Think about a work order when you bring in your automobile for service. It generally outlines all of the work that will be performed, estimated time and costs associated before the sale.
