Block PPM first, reactive around it
Planned preventive maintenance is your stable revenue. Lock it into the calendar on Monday morning. Slot reactive jobs into the gaps. Drag-and-drop reschedules in Work App update the engineer's phone in seconds.
Match skill, not just availability
An F-Gas Cat I job won't fix itself with a trainee on site. Tag jobs and engineers with required skills. The scheduler greys out unqualified engineers automatically.
Key takeaways
- Lock PPM Monday morning
- Group by postcode to slash drive time
- Tag skills — let the software match them
