I built an app in Softr for the HVAC industry to solve some crucial problems.
The problem is that those in the HVAC industry and similar industries like construction, plumbing, and electrical do not have one source of truth where:
1. Their clients can request for thier services.
2. Clients can be onboarded after they make a payment.
3. They store the information and bio data of their technicians.
4. They assign tasks to their technicians.
5. Technicians can track onsite jobs with pictures in real time of when working.
6. Clients see the progress of their projects.
7. Invoices and quotations from paid clients can be tracked.
8. Technicians borrow assets from the company, and they can be tracked.
9. There is a database where every individual, from technicians to admin and clients, are all stored.
10. Login details from every individual are secured and they can only see things that are their business without seeing that of another person, be ita technician or a client.
These and many more are what people in these industries face as a challenge.
I came up with a solution that addresses all these problems. I built a workflow that also auto-populated the users table in the database with technicians and clients when the records are filled in the technician and client tables, respectively.
There is also a workflow that sends an email to the admin when a client makes a request from the portal.
Taking advantage of the database, workflow, and portal gave a full-blown application for the HVAC industry.
If you are in the construction, plumbing, electrical, or HVAC industry and you need a similar build, reach out, and I will be more than happy to replicate this for you or something similar in Softr.
