How does the system handle permit and inspection tracking?+
Each job requiring a permit has a compliance workflow: permit application, permit issuance, work completion, inspection request, and inspection result. The system tracks where each permitted job stands and sends reminders when action items are due. If an inspection fails, the system creates a follow-up task for corrections and re-inspection scheduling. For companies managing 20 or more permitted projects simultaneously, this tracking prevents the compliance lapses that cause delays, fines, and client frustration. Historical inspection pass rates by job type and inspector reveal patterns that help improve first-time pass rates.
Can the system manage EV charger installation as a specialized service line?+
Yes. EV charger installations are configured as a distinct service category with their own lead intake workflow, proposal templates, pricing, and scheduling requirements. The intake captures vehicle type, desired charger brand, panel capacity, garage configuration, and electrical panel distance from the garage. Proposals include charger specifications, required electrical work, permit details, and utility rebate information. Scheduling assigns EV-certified technicians with appropriate tools and materials. Revenue tracking for the EV line helps you measure growth in this emerging market and justify continued investment in EV-specific marketing and technician certification.
