How Arden Construction won contracts with Service Geeni

When Service Integration is a must, Service Geeni delivers service you can count on.

About Arden Construction

Arden Construction specialises in refurbishing and maintaining public sector buildings, within their local region. The company has a busy team of engineers in the field who need jobs allocating and then need to feedback accurate information to head office.

Challenge:

Arden Construction faced several challenges with their paper-based job management system:

• Inefficiency: Manually allocating jobs, collecting data, and processing invoices was time-consuming and laborious. This limited their ability to handle larger, more complex projects effectively.
• Lack of Scalability: As their business grew and they took on more complex projects, the paper-based system became increasingly difficult to scale. This hindered their ability to expand their client base.
• Risk of Losing a Big Client: Warwickshire County Council, a major client, specifically requested a field service management tool in their tender renewal. The limitations of the paper system put this crucial contract at risk.

Solution:

Service Geeni’s ability to integrate with other software tools made it a perfect fit for Arden Construction. They were now able to:

• React quickly to jobs raised by the client through the Service Geeni integration
• Quickly and easily identify the best engineer for the job
• Distribute jobs to engineers’ mobile devices
• Record more job data including annotated photos
• Collect client signatures on site when job is completed
• Generate automated invoices
• Collect customer satisfaction scores
• Manage SLAs (Service Level Agreements)
