Can Full Loop CRM track different pump-out intervals for different tank sizes?+
Yes. Every property record includes tank size, number of bedrooms or occupants, and any special factors like garbage disposal usage that affect pump-out frequency. The system calculates individual intervals for each property and triggers reminders accordingly. A 1000-gallon tank serving four people gets a three-year reminder cycle while a 1500-gallon tank for two people gets a five-year cycle. You can override any calculation with a custom interval based on your field experience with that specific system.
How does the system handle emergency calls versus routine scheduling?+
Emergency calls are flagged as high priority and routed to the nearest available truck based on real-time GPS tracking. The system captures all the critical information from the caller, including problem description, property access details, and whether they know the tank location. After the emergency is resolved, the system automatically transitions that customer into your recurring maintenance pipeline with a follow-up sequence designed to convert them into a regular pump-out customer.
