Sales Discovery: Dead End

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I represent a mechanical services company in an emerging industry. This company needed a solution to manage service visits, project scheduling, inventory, technician timekeeping, and invoicing. It seemed liked ServiceTitan would be a very good fit based on their marketing videos. The COO and I made multiple attempts to try to establish a relationship with the sales team at ServiceTitan to schedule a demo. At the end of these, 2 separate sales people told us they would not demo their solution to us because our industry does not appear in their drop down list. On the one hand, I'm thankful, because this policy could be an indicator of future problems. On the other hand, we're very frustrated because every function the software lists is a function this business is seeking a solution for. My advice: If you're having trouble with the initial sales contact or information forms at ServiceTitan, scratch them off your list quickly. You will save yourself a headache.

Cons

  • Sales Policies
  • Inaccurate Marketing messages
  • Sales People

Return on Investment

  • Wasted a significant amount of time by considering this a viable option
  • We will likely use Autotask, Jobber, orSalesforce Lightning for the operations solution for this company.

ServiceTitan – Easy, Effective, and Excellent!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company uses ServiceTitan for all of our daily needs. As a service company, we deal with a large number of customers and locations on a daily basis. ServiceTitan is used by all departments as our primary software for keeping track of customer information, scheduling and assigning jobs, and managing our technicians all across the board. Personally, I work in our HVAC installation/replacement department, and I use ServiceTitan daily to complete the bulk of my work, ranging from converting estimates into new jobs to setting up return visits for previous installations.

Pros

  • Using customer profiles to store contact information and addresses.
  • Creating estimates and converting them to jobs with consistent task code usage.
  • Scheduling and managing technicians.

Cons

  • Customer and location profiles can get confusing depending on how certain addresses are managed or billed, such as property managers for condominiums billing the individual customers.
  • Smoother updating on contact information changes between the customer account and location accounts.
  • Making it easier for technicians to transfer between jobs.

Return on Investment

  • Improved customer relations by allowing us to keep consistent information for contact and address tracking.
  • Improved technician quality of life with pre-scheduled jobs, dispatching, and timesheet management.
  • Improved overall ecosystem and efficiency by consolidating all aspects of the business into one software: customer service, dispatching, technicians, installation, revenue, purchasing, warehouse, etc.

As an Accounting Manager, integration with our accounting software is a must. ServiceTitan's exports for payments, invoices, and tie-in with inventory tracking is very helpful. They are always adding new features, so the product itself has a more developed feel when I started using it a year and a half ago.

Pros

  • Integration with Accounting Software
  • Dashboards
  • Reporting

Cons

  • Sales Tax Tracking and Reporting
  • Inventory Feedback with Accounting Software
  • Accounts Receivable Tracking

Return on Investment

  • Revenue has almost doubled in the 3.5 years since we started using ServiceTitan. ServiceTitan has allowed us to scale the business well.
