From First Call to Paid Invoice: The Work Order Lifecycle
Every job starts the same way — a work order gets created, scheduled, and dispatched. The impact shows up at the other end: when that same record carries through field work straight into an estimate and invoice, nothing gets forgotten between "job done" and "invoice sent."
The five stages
- 1
Create the work order
A job comes in and is logged as a work order with the customer, address, and scope of work.
- 2
Schedule & dispatch
Smart scheduling sends the right technician, on time, every time.
- 3
Work it in the field
Technicians manage the job from a mobile app — notes, photos, and status updates included.
- 4
Estimate & invoice
Turn the completed job into an accurate estimate or invoice in minutes.
- 5
Track it on the dashboard
Real-time analytics roll every job up into one view of the business.
