HB Heating Control (HBHC) – Maximizing Technician Utilization and Revenue Realization

The Challenge: Unreconciled Revenue and Scheduling Inefficiency

HBHC, specializing in ensuring complex heating control systems run right, faced severe internal organizational issues that directly caused revenue leakage. The system suffered from disorganized job tickets, limited visibility between the back office and the field, and excessive duplicate information entry. This scheduling chaos resulted in a high incidence of missed appointments and frustrated customers. The lack of a structured workflow meant that valuable service revenue often remained unreconciled.

The ClimaCall Solution: Smart Workflow for Optimized Field Performance

HBHC adopted ClimaCall to enforce one clean workflow from the customer call to the payment stage.

1. Unified Scheduling: Implementation of Unified Calendar Scheduling utilized real-time availability and ETAs. This smart scheduling dramatically reduced scheduling errors and “no-access” service calls, ensuring a more consistent service delivery.
2. Perfect Sync and Data Integrity: ClimaCall put the office and field technicians in perfect sync, ensuring real-time jobs, critical parts inventory needs, photos, and service history reside in one accessible location.
3. WIP Management: Mobile Work Orders provide clear proof of work (via photos, notes, and required signatures). Paired with Invoicing & Payments, this allows HBHC to close job tickets faster and actively reduce write-offs stemming from administrative delays.

Results: Increased Technician Utilization and Controlled Cash Flow

HBHC swiftly moved “from chaos to cash flow”.

By eliminating unnecessary paperwork and errors, ClimaCall had a direct, positive impact on financial viability.

• Maximized Technician Utilization Rate: Smart scheduling and efficient route planning led to the successful completion of more jobs per day.
• Revenue Realization: The ability to complete job closure and secure payments on-site drastically addressed revenue leakage by improving Work in Progress (WIP) management.
• Enhanced Customer Trust: The consistent, prompt, and knowledgeable service led to happier customers who praise HBHC’s professionalism and expertise.

HBHC utilized ClimaCall to translate decades of expertise into disciplined, efficient operations, safeguarding profit margins by ensuring every completed job ticket is fully realized.
