Automation <\/span>for <\/span>Businesses<\/span><\/h1>\n

If you manage a field service team, you know the feeling: technicians calling for an address, job sheets arriving late, and hours that need to be reconstructed afterwards. All those manual steps take up time that could be better spent elsewhere.<\/p>\n

With Simple-Simon, you can automate scheduling, job sheets, time tracking and invoicing for your field service operation. Everything in one platform, without separate apps or manual data entry.<\/p>\n

Automate Your planning<\/h2>\n

Schedule job sheets using the Simple-Simon planning board. Simply drag a task to a technician, and they instantly receive the job sheet on their phone.<\/p>\n

Set up recurring schedules for maintenance and periodic inspections, so recurring work is automatically added to the calendar. Any changes are visible to everyone in real time.<\/p>\n

Your planning board shows who is available, where technicians are through GPS tracking, and the status of every active job sheet. This allows you to manage your field service team without constantly making calls for updates.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t

Automate Asset Management for Your Customers<\/h2>\n

Store customer assets in Simple-Simon, such as installations, equipment or systems that you maintain. Each asset includes a complete service history, so technicians know exactly what was done during previous visits.<\/p>\n

Job sheets are linked directly to assets, automatically building a maintenance log without any manual administration. You can instantly see when an asset was last serviced and what work was performed.<\/p>\n

For service businesses working with maintenance contracts, this is especially valuable. Schedule preventive maintenance and avoid unexpected breakdowns for your customers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t

Automate Workflows: From Job Sheet to Invoice<\/h2>\n

Your technician completes a job sheet on-site. The customer’s signature is captured, used materials are recorded and working hours are logged. As soon as the job sheet is completed, office staff can see it immediately.<\/p>\n

From the completed job sheet, you can create an invoice with just a few clicks. Customer details, performed work and materials are already included. The invoice is then sent directly to your accounting software.<\/p>\n

From scheduling to invoicing, the entire process is automated in one platform. No need to switch between separate apps for planning, time tracking and administration.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t
