NorthStar HVACFrom 'my AC is broken' to a scheduled technician

NorthStar HVAC is a fictional contractor. It shows a lead-driven business: service requests come in with the details a dispatcher needs, then move through estimate, scheduling, the job itself and the invoice.

The business problem

What changes for NorthStar HVAC

Before

Without a system

  1. A homeowner calls three companies and hires whoever answers first.
  2. The dispatcher writes the problem on a notepad with no photos.
  3. Estimates are typed later and sent by email days after the visit.
  4. Nobody can say which jobs are waiting on parts or payment.

After

With the NorthStar HVAC system

  1. Requests arrive online around the clock with photos and urgency.
  2. Emergencies are flagged and routed to the on-call technician.
  3. Every job moves through one pipeline from new to invoiced.
  4. Customers approve estimates and pay invoices from their portal.
