Best Practice Guide: Getting the Most from ServiceTracker

Written By Marketing Team

ServiceTracker is designed to help you streamline your entire operation, from winning new customers to completing visits and generating invoices. While every business works slightly differently, following a few best practices will help you get the maximum value from your system, improve productivity and deliver a consistently professional service.

Keep Your Customer Records Up to Date

Accurate customer information is the foundation of every successful business process. Ensure contact details, site information, billing addresses and key contacts are regularly reviewed and updated.

Maintaining accurate records will improve communication, reduce errors and ensure technicians always have the information they need before arriving on site.

Use Contracts Wherever Possible

Recurring service contracts allow ServiceTracker to automate scheduling, invoicing and reporting.

Take advantage of:

  • Automatic visit generation

  • Renewal reminders

  • Contract pricing

  • Planned maintenance schedules

The more information you build into your contracts, the less manual administration you'll have later.

Schedule Proactively

Rather than planning work week by week, use ServiceTracker to schedule recurring work well in advance.

This helps you:

  • Balance technician workloads

  • Reduce travel time

  • Avoid missed visits

  • Improve customer satisfaction

Make Full Use of the Mobile App

Encourage technicians to complete every visit using the ServiceTracker Mobile App.

Capture:

  • Photos

  • Signatures

  • Recommendations

  • Materials used

  • Inspection results

  • Risk assessments

Completing information on site improves accuracy and reduces office administration.

Produce Professional Service Reports

Your service reports represent your business.

Ensure technicians:

  • Write clear notes

  • Include quality photographs

  • Record recommendations

  • Complete all inspection items

  • Capture customer signatures

A great report builds confidence and demonstrates the value of your service.

Review Your Dashboards

Managers should regularly review dashboards and reports to monitor:

  • Completed visits

  • Outstanding actions

  • Contract performance

Using data to make decisions helps improve efficiency across your business.
