Customer ManagementA productive feature of HouseCall Pro is the Customer Management database. All customer records, jobs, invoices, and communications are stored in the cloud. This makes customer management a straightforward affair. All customer information regarding job tracking and histories are kept in an organized environment.
Invoicing and Payment ProcessingA really useful feature of HouseCall Pro is the ability to invoice on the fly and receive payments in a variety of different ways. As soon as a job is marked as complete, HouseCall Pro allows the user to send automated email invoices immediately from a mobile device. The customer is then able to pay with a credit card online or they can send payment via other supported methods, such as with cash or via a bank transfer.
HouseCall Pro processes payments at a flat rate of 2.69% + $0.30 whilst on site. All the user has to do is key in or scan the customer’s debit/credit card and then capture their e-signature. Because HouseCall Pro integrates with QuickBooks Online, the whole accounting process is simplified as well.
Scheduling and DispatchManaging schedules and dispatching contractors can be a tricky affair. With HouseCall Pro, as soon as a customer books a job order with your business via the HouseCall app, you are notified immediately. The booking app gives the customer various ways to provide key information regarding the job that needs undertaking. With it, they can send photos of the job site and provide written information on the requirements of the job. This is great for accurate estimation pricing.
All jobs are stored in Google Calendar, which can be checked anytime via HouseCall Pro for daily, weekly, or monthly schedules. Jobs can be assigned to any available technicians in only a matter of a few clicks. All the information regarding the job is then sent to them. If there are any last-minute changes, these are pushed to their device in real time.
IntegrationsHouseCall Pro has seamless integrations with popular accounting service, QuickBooks Online, and with Google Calendar.
