Future Logic Case Study: Streamlining Operations for Property and Facilities Maintenance Services

How Automation Transformed a Property Maintenance Company’s Sales and Job Management Processes

Introduction

In the fast-paced world of property and facilities maintenance, a company faced operational challenges that hindered efficiency and increased the risk of errors. Their systems for managing sales processes and job tasks were disjointed, leading to inefficiencies and miscommunication. Seeking a streamlined solution, they turned to Future Logic to integrate and automate their operations.

The Property and Facilities Maintenance Company: Aiming for Operational Excellence

This company, dedicated to providing top-notch maintenance services, recognised the need for efficient processes to support their growth. However, their existing systems for CRM, file management, and collaboration were not integrated, leading to repetitive tasks and operational bottlenecks.

The Challenge of Disjointed Systems and Repetitive Tasks

External Problem: The company’s CRM, file management, and collaboration systems did not communicate with each other. This required manual updates across multiple platforms whenever a new lead was generated, progressed to quoting, or resulted in a won or lost sale, leading to inefficiencies and errors.

Internal Problem: The team was burdened with repetitive, time-consuming tasks, resulting in frustration and reduced productivity. Miscommunication and errors were common due to the lack of system integration.

Philosophical Problem: The company believes in leveraging technology to streamline operations and improve service delivery. They sought a seamless solution to reduce manual work and enhance accuracy and communication.
