The real problem

More calls do not mean more profit.

More trucks and more techs will not fix a thin margin. You need to see the few numbers that drive profit, and a simple way to act on them.

"Volume is vanity. Profit is sanity." An old Team SPG saying.

  • Sales are up, but the bank account does not show it.
  • You cannot tell which tech or CSR is making you money.
  • Every new hire adds work, not profit.

See your numbers

Know which technician is making you money

Each tech enters a few numbers after their calls: calls ran, calls sold, and revenue. SOS turns them into close rate, average ticket, maintenance plan rate, and callback rate.

We call these Key Training Indicators, or KTIs. They are the numbers that show who needs training. Every number shows green or red against the goal you set.

Motivate the team

A leaderboard your techs will want to top

Open the leaderboard on any TV with a web browser. Enter a short code to pair it. Done.

It ranks your techs by revenue, close rate, average ticket, and maintenance plans, and shows who moved up or down. Your best tech's numbers become the standard for the whole team.

Start with yourself

Find out where your business stands

The Owner Assessment is 40 questions. You get a score out of 100, a breakdown of five areas of your business, and two or three things to fix first.

There is a Technician Assessment too, built for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. Retake either one any time to see your progress.

Run the front office

Turn more calls into booked jobs

Your CSRs (customer service reps) enter their calls and bookings. SOS shows each CSR's booking rate and how often they offer and sell a maintenance plan.

Team Activity shows one list of what everyone did: logins, courses finished, quizzes passed. You see who is using the system and who is not.

Questions owners ask

Is SOS really free?

Yes. Everything on this page is free, for as long as you want it. Pro is optional.

Do I need a credit card?

No. Only Pro asks for a card, and only after the 15-day free trial.

Who is SOS for?

Owners and managers of plumbing, HVAC, and electrical shops, and their technicians and CSRs (customer service reps).

Can my techs and CSRs have their own login?

Yes. Each person gets a login. Techs and CSRs see their own numbers. Managers see their team. Owners see everything.

How do I put the leaderboard on a TV?

Open the leaderboard page in the browser on any smart TV or a computer plugged into a TV. It shows a short code. Type that code into your SOS account. The TV switches to the leaderboard.

What does Pro add?

More courses and more documents in My Toolbox. The core tools on this page stay free. Pro has a 15-day free trial, then a monthly price based on how many trucks you run.
