Work a job from accepted to invoiced

One ticket, end to end: propose a time, move through the states, record materials, and talk to the landlord in the same place.

Before you startAn accepted job. Everything here hangs off one work order.
1

Propose a window rather than agreeing one by phone

Set a start and end and send it. The tenant confirms or asks for another, and the exchange stays attached to the job.

It is also the entry notice. Most states require warning before somebody enters an occupied home, and this records that it was given.

Advance the state as you go

En route, on site, complete. Each change tells the landlord and the tenant without you messaging either.

Advancing as it happens rather than all at the end is most of what a good response-time score is measuring.

Record materials as you use them

Line items here become the invoice. Adding them on site beats reconstructing the van from memory two days later.

The cost is visible to the landlord as it grows, which is what stops the final invoice being a surprise.

Let it write the notes up

AI draft from photos and notes turns what you did into a written job record, from your photographs and your shorthand.

Edit it before saving. It is a first draft of paperwork you would otherwise write at the end of a long day.
