Does your maintenance or installation company delay its billing for weeks because technicians use paper work orders that get lost, stained, or are illegible?
In businesses with field personnel (plumbing, HVAC, renovations, or technical service), the work order is the most important document: it justifies the hours and materials to be able to charge the client. The problem is that managing this on paper or with hand-filled PDFs creates massive administrative chaos. Delivery notes get lost in vans, office staff waste hours deciphering technicians' handwriting, and too often, you forget to invoice expensive materials because no one wrote them down correctly.
The trap of Standard Field Service Apps
To try to digitize, many SMEs hire generic "Field Service" SaaS applications. However, these platforms charge you expensive monthly licenses for each technician and force you to fill out rigid forms that do not understand the specific services of your sector. Forcing your workers to use a complex, standard application while on a job site is the fastest way to get them to revert to pen and paper.
Our solution: Custom Work Order Database and App
At LANZA ESTUDIO, we connect the street with your office frictionlessly. As software architects, we design a centralized database and a progressive web app (PWA) 100% adapted to the real workflows of your technicians, without abusive per-user fees.
- Central Operational Database: We structure your service catalog, material stock, and client files into a single secure core, accessible in real time for the entire team.
- Lightweight App for Technicians: We program an ultra-fast web interface designed only with the necessary buttons. The worker selects the materials used and logs hours with a couple of taps from their mobile.
- On-Site Digital Signature: Upon completing the repair, the application generates the digital work order so the client can sign directly on the technician's tablet or phone screen.
- Automatic Pre-Invoicing: The very second the work order is signed on the street, the database processes it and generates a draft invoice in the office, ready to be reviewed and issued.
The Real Impact on your Company's Liquidity
- Invoicing in 24 Hours: You eliminate the weeks-long administrative delay; now your office team can invoice and collect for the work the same day it is performed.
- Zero Lost Materials: By having to select spare parts directly from the database in the app, you guarantee that absolutely every piece used is included in the final charge.
- Radical Savings on Licenses: Because it is software you own hosted on your server, you can expand your workforce from three to thirty technicians without your software costs increasing by a single cent.
