How does Full Loop CRM handle emergency leads differently from regular inquiries?+
The system uses separate pipelines for emergency and preventive leads. Emergency leads with active water intrusion trigger immediate automated responses, triage questions about water volume and location, and priority routing to your nearest available estimator. The response time target is measured in seconds rather than minutes. Preventive inquiries enter a consultative pipeline with educational content, assessment scheduling, and longer nurture sequences. This separation ensures emergency customers get the urgency they need while preventive prospects get the education they need.
Can the system manage multi-day excavation project schedules?+
Yes. Multi-day projects are scheduled as continuous blocks with each phase defined separately: utility locates, excavation, membrane application, drainage installation, backfill, and landscaping restoration. Equipment and crew assignments are tracked for each phase. Weather delays automatically cascade to subsequent phases and the system identifies conflicts with downstream projects. Customers receive progress updates at each phase completion so they know exactly where their project stands throughout the process.
