A job and customer dashboard for plumbers

A plumbing dashboard should show today’s jobs and where each tech is, estimates still waiting for an answer, callbacks and warranty visits, and customers due for maintenance. It reads from your calls and email so nothing is typed twice. Westward builds these around how your shop runs.

The day on one screen

Jobs by tech, running late or not, with the customer’s notes beside each. The office sees problems before the phone rings.

Color the jobs that are running behind, so the office can reach out first.

Money waiting

Open estimates and unpaid invoices in one list, oldest first, tell you where to spend your calls.

History for every address

When a customer calls again, the record shows the water heater you installed, its age and what was said about the pipes. Nobody starts from scratch.

Mark repeat issues at an address, like a slow main line, so the next tech knows to look.

Picture this

Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.

You open the dashboard and see three estimates over a week old, totaling more than a day of work, and call the two that are most likely.

A customer calls about a leak at a house you serviced two years ago. The record shows the fittings used and the notes from that visit.

A landlord with eight properties calls. The dashboard shows each property’s last visit and open items, so you speak in specifics.

The rules that apply, in their own words

“unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, are hereby declared unlawful.”

FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(a)(1). Claims an AI drafts for you are your claims. Keep them true and checkable.

“intended for voluntary use and to improve the ability to incorporate trustworthiness considerations into the design, development, use, and evaluation of AI products, services, and systems.”

NIST, AI Risk Management Framework. A good build keeps a person in charge of anything that matters and records what the AI did.

Questions

Can I use it from my phone?

It should be built so you and your techs can use it from a phone.

Will it replace my current software?

It can sit on top of it or replace it, depending on what you need.

Can it track my vehicles and techs?

It can show where jobs are and who is on them. Vehicle tracking depends on what tools you already use.
