At JCCayer, we pride ourselves on offering top-notch repair services for all the brands of products we sell. As we continue to grow and innovate, we’ve recognized the need for a streamlined, fully automated solution that makes work order management, invoicing, quoting, and customer notifications easier than ever before. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our new JCCayer Service Order Application—a revolutionary platform designed to elevate efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Why We Needed a New System
Our service department handles a wide variety of equipment and requests on a daily basis. Managing numerous work orders (WOs) from multiple brands, ensuring accurate quotes, allocating technicians, and staying on top of inventory requirements can be quite a challenge—especially when we aim to deliver the best possible turnaround time and customer experience.
With these challenges in mind, our team set out to create a system that automatically ties together ordering, invoicing, quoting, and notifying processes. The result? A robust solution that keeps staff in sync and our customers informed, while saving valuable time and reducing errors.
Key Features of the JCCayer Service Order Application
1. Digital Work Order Creation
-Auto-Fill Customer Information: By integrating with our pre-existing POS system, relevant customer details automatically populate, speeding up the process and minimizing data entry errors.
-Unlimited Equipment Entries: Multiple work orders can be created for a single customer, allowing them to drop off as many items as they need repaired under one consolidated form.
-Invoice Upload: If needed, invoices can be attached at the time of drop-off, ensuring all proof of purchase information is captured from the get-go.
2. Quotes & Estimates on Demand
-Optional Quote Requirement: Some customers want an estimate; others simply trust us to proceed. The system accommodates both scenarios seamlessly.
-Fast Parts Lookup: With an integrated “Inventory Look-Up” feature, our team can quickly search for part numbers in our POS system. For any missing items, we can create them in POS System on the spot, complete with accurate pricing.
-Efficient Approval Workflow: Customers can approve quotes through their preferred communication channel (SMS, Email and/or Automated Phone Call), triggering the “Start Repair” step automatically once permission is granted.
3. Automated Notifications & Tag Printing
-Personalized Notifications: Each work order can be set up with unique customer notification preferences— SMS, Email and/or Automated Phone Call —ensuring prompt updates without the need to call us for updates.
-High-Quality Poly Tag Printing: Upon creation of each work order, tags are printed in-house to label every piece of equipment. These durable tags help us (and our customers) track items throughout the repair process.
-Remote Tag Printing: Our delivery staff and VIP customers can print tags remotely. VIPs must be authorized by a Manager before using this feature to avoid misuse.
4. Manager & Technician Panels
-Work Order Allocation: Managers can easily assign unallocated work orders to specific technicians. Once assigned, the work order appears in the technician’s queue.
-Warranty Tracking: If a job qualifies for warranty service, managers can mark it as warranty work.
-Backorder Alerts: A simple color-coded system alerts technicians if parts are fully in-stock (green), partially available (yellow), or back-ordered (red). This ensures no repairs begin without the right parts on hand.
-Labor & Additional Costs: Technicians can easily add labor hours, shop supplies, pick-up or delivery charges, and more. These costs integrate directly into the POS system’s sales order when finalized.
5. Seamless Invoicing & Pick-Up
-Automated Invoicing: Once a repair is completed and marked “Ready for Pick-Up,” the system automatically generates and prints the final invoice in from our POS System.
-Customer Pick-Up: Customers can provide their work order number or name. Once we confirm the equipment, the system moves the completed record to the “All Completed Work Orders” tab, maintaining a clear history of our finished jobs.
6. Centralized User Information
-Technician Labor Codes: Each technician has a unique Spire labor code stored in their user profile. This ensures accurate tracking of labor charges.
-Contact Details: Every manager or technician profile includes direct phone numbers and extension details, making communication a breeze.
How This Benefits Our Customers
a. Faster Turnaround: Automated processes mean less manual data entry, no missed steps, and quicker repairs.
b. Real-Time Updates: Customers stay informed via SMS, Email and/or Automated Phone Call. No more wondering if their equipment is ready—information is always up-to-date and delivered right to their phone or inbox.
c. Streamlined Drop-Off & Pick-Up: Work order information is captured digitally at drop-off, and pick-up is equally efficient with printed tags and thorough records.
d. Accurate Quotes: Integrated inventory lookup ensures quotes are calculated with the correct parts and prices upfront.
