The Challenge
Heavenly Cool, a residential appliance repair service provider based in Parkville, Maryland, was struggling with a paper-based approach to dispatching. This traditional method was inefficient and lacked the flexibility required to handle last-minute cancellations and emergency call-outs. The company also faced challenges in managing their parts inventory and dispatching workflows. The lack of a streamlined process resulted in technicians making multiple trips to the warehouse, which affected the company's ability to add and tackle more appointments per day. Furthermore, the absence of a real-time vehicle tracking system made it difficult for the company to track the location of their technicians, which was crucial in case of a call in a specific area.
