Dispatching/Service Call Software Free


You can download this software and run it (I hope) without having to purchase MS Access.


http://bestlineplumbing.com/ServiceCalls.htm

This software is very critical for organizing and making sure you get the most out of all your customers requests for service. Too often, contractors write down a telephone call, tell the customer they will show, and a few days later, they forget about the call. This program will help you make sure you go to every call you receive.

This program is simple to use. Everything you need to do is on one screen.
Read the instructions, at the bottom of the web page for loading.

Most dispatching programs have too many features and bog your down with tasks. During the first 30 minutes, of every morning, I run several different programs and we don't have the time to mess with features we don't need. This program is more than enough. If you can think of a feature, that is important, I will consider adding it to the program.

If you have problems downloading, tell me.

If this program is successful, I will give make the other programs load without Access and post them.
This is a link to free software for organizing your business and tracking service calls. This program is one of the keys for maximizing your sales and profits by making sure you capitalize on every service call.

Simplicity, speed, and accuracy are the keys, for success, because busy contractors don't have time, for complicated software programs.

This is a short story about why this program is worth $millions. A contractor gets many calls he thinks are insignificant. The contractor thinks he will check the call out if he has time, later, and a few hours later, he forgets about the call.

This is what happens, all the time, and this is a true story. A customer called us for an estimate to repair a leak in a 4-unit building. We don't care to work for landlords, so we entered this call, into this free database. The database kept printing the call for several weeks. Finally, one evening, we felt good, we saw the call on our daily print-out, and we stopped at the job. We sold new copper pipes and all new sewer and drain pipes for the entire building. The total sale was over $50,000. We do not take credit, personally, for the sales. In fact, we were terrible salesmen for not going on this call sooner.

"We can only give credit, for this $50,000 sale, and many more sales, like this one, to this free software."

This program was designed to work with a call sheet that matches the input screen. Most of the fields on the screen and the paper worksheet are in the same order.

This program is used one time every day, at the beginning or end of the day. It takes less time to write service calls on a piece of paper during the day and then transfer them, in one sitting at the computer, during the morning. Print a list specific for each employee, and print a master list, for yourself.
