The Challenge
HomeWorks Plumbing, Heating and Air, a home service company based in St. Paul, MN, was struggling with their existing GPS system which was difficult to use, inaccurate, and cumbersome to roll out to the technicians. The company operates three divisions - the installation team, plumbers, and HVAC technicians, all of whom are responsible for delivering quality service to their customers. It was crucial for them to reach the job site on time and safely. The company was also looking for a solution that was easy to install as their trucks are on the road 90% of the time. The previous GPS system was not meeting these requirements, affecting the company's bottom line and customer satisfaction.
