Why operators pick BillFi

Dispatch, route, checklist and photo-verify every truck roll — from one board.

Common headaches

What you're probably fighting today

Problem
Whiteboard dispatch

A dry-erase board in the NOC decides who installs what. BillFi turns it into a drag-and-drop calendar with tech capacity and skill matching.

Problem
'What time will you be here?'

Customers get no ETA. BillFi sends an SMS when the tech is dispatched, en-route and on-site — cutting no-show rates.

Problem
No proof of work

Tech says the install is done; no photos, no signal readings. Mandatory checklists + photo capture close the loop.

What's inside

Everything a Field service & scheduling operator needs

Drag-and-drop dispatch board

Week / day / map views. Assign jobs to techs by skill, region or load — with capacity and travel-time hints.

Route optimisation

Cluster same-day jobs by geography. GPS breadcrumbs prove the tech visited the address.

Job templates & checklists

Install-FTTH, repair-radio, site-survey — each with mandatory steps, required photos and signal thresholds.

Tech mobile app

iOS + Android. Works offline in the field, syncs when back on data. Photo, signature, barcode scan, inventory pull.

Live customer ETA SMS

Dispatched → en-route → arrived — automatic SMS to the customer at each transition. Fewer support calls, better NPS.

SLA & first-time-fix reporting

Time-to-resolve, first-time-fix rate, revisit rate, per-tech scorecards — reports out of the box.

How it works

Live in a weekend, not a quarter

01
Job created from CRM

New install, ticket-triggered repair or scheduled maintenance — job auto-tagged with customer, plan and gear needed.

02
Dispatch & route

Drag onto a tech's day, or auto-assign by skill + region. Route optimises across all assigned jobs.

03
Tech does the work

Mobile app: checklist, photos, signal reading, barcode-scan inventory used, customer signature.

04
Auto-close & bill

On completion: inventory decremented, customer activated, install fee invoiced, CRM updated.

FAQ

Answers, before you ask

Does the tech app work offline?

Yes. Techs pull the day's jobs on Wi-Fi in the morning; the app queues photos, checklists and inventory writes locally and syncs the moment data returns.

Can we require photos before a job closes?

Yes. Every checklist step can be mandatory, and photo / signal-reading / signature steps can block completion until captured.

How is inventory linked?

The tech barcode-scans (or picks from a list) each item installed. Stock is decremented from the tech's truck stock, and the customer profile records serial numbers for warranty tracking.

Does it send customer ETAs?

Yes — Twilio SMS or WhatsApp on dispatch, on the way (with live map link) and on arrival. All templates are localisable per country.
