When you are up to your elbows in water and searching out stopcocks and waste pipes, it’s hardly surprising that doing this admin ‘stuff’ for your business is somewhat low down on your priority list! But staying up-to-date and on top of these tasks can make a difference to your bottom line so you need to pay attention and get this plumbing service software and take your business to the next level.
We know it’s a challenge to find something that can really impact your business at a practical level, but Pocket PA is a web-based app solution that can do just that and is the perfect app for plumbers.
It manages everything from booking to book-keeping all in one place which means you don’t need multiple spreadsheets to keep track of everything which is happening in your business.
This plumber app has a great colour coded diary which will show you exactly where you need to be each day and with which client. And if you want to start taking online bookings then it can be integrated into your website or social media pages.
Tracking payments is simple with Pocket PA because whether you are a commercial plumber or specialise more in boiler repairs, if you do it as you go along then you can easily see exactly what you’re earning every single week, month and year on one-click visual dials.
So, you don’t need a math’s degree to understand the financial health of your business!
Keeping on top of your expenses in your home services business can also be a headache because lost receipts means it’s difficult to claim for all your outgoings. With the app you can snap, sort and store everything in a couple of clicks and it’s available 24/7 for you to access online and show to your accountant when he needs the proof.
This simple one-stop web-based solution works on your phone, tablet or computer and it’s an easy way to get organised without any fuss or complicated processes to learn.
Chasing for monies owed is never easy but the app makes it a doddle and can help to show you exactly who still needs to pay for work you have already completed. You can then send a personalised invoice with a clickable link which gets paid directly into your account. And this automatically gets logged onto your income dial so you can avoid the awkward conversations asking for payment.
And if you are a mobile plumber, Pocket PA has a ‘Directions’ button which connects to Google maps or Waze to show you the fastest way to get to you next client.
Using a powerful business tool like this can really help increase your productivity and make you feel organised and on top of your finances in your plumbing business. Getting into good habits will ensure you earn more money by working smarter and not harder.
So, treat your emergency plumbing services business to some much-needed TLC and start using Pocket PA so you all feel the love and can get your own work life balance back on track and not up the U-bend!
