The Challenge
Premier Plumbing Services had built a strong reputation in their local market, but rapid growth exposed critical weaknesses in their customer management system.
Their main challenges were:
- Delayed response times averaging 4-6 hours for customer inquiries
- Disorganized customer information scattered across email, voicemail, and text messages
- No centralized quote system, leading to inconsistent pricing
- Manual dispatcher workflow that couldn't keep pace with demand
- Lost revenue from inquiries that fell through the cracks
The business was turning away potential customers simply because they couldn't respond fast enough or provide quotes in a timely manner.
