6 Reasons Mobile Crews Pick Mobile Service Sync Over PM Attendant

  1. One Click Puts Each Van's Day in Order

    Nothing on PM Attendant's pages mentions vans, routes or service away from the shop.

    Drag jobs onto a tech, then one click sequences that tech's stops on real Mapbox drive times. Every van's stops sit on one map, and moving a stop to another van is one drag. When the margin is the drive between driveways, this is the screen that pays for the software.

    Schedule map view: each technician's route color-coded across the city, stops listed in arrival order with one-click optimize
  2. A Technician App on iPhone and Android

    There is no PM Attendant app in either store. Ours is in both.

    Live on the App Store and Google Play. Today's stops in order with one-tap navigation, the on-my-way text, photo inspections, the van's stock, clock in and out, and the payment before the tech pulls away. The laptop stays home.

    Job detail in the tech app: vehicle, service, and payment
  3. Online Booking That Knows Your Day

    PM Attendant's pages describe a counter system and mention no customer self-booking. Mobile customers book from their phone.

    Customers book on your hosted page or a widget on your own site. They pick the package and the time and enter their plate. Open slots follow your hours, your service area, and how many techs and vans are working, so nobody books a time you cannot reach.

  4. Texting Lives on the Customer Record

    A mobile customer wants to know when the van is coming, and the on-my-way text is one tap from the tech app.

    Two-way texting threaded into each customer, registered for A2P 10DLC, with photos both ways. 1,000 texts a month on Core, 5,000 on Growth, 10,000 on Pro.

  5. Every Vehicle Gets Its Own Next-Due Date

    PM Attendant prints reminders and coupons at the location. A mobile customer never stands at your counter.

    When a job closes, the vehicle gets a due date from its own interval, its fleet's default, or how often it actually comes back. Switch reminders on and the customer gets an email, plus a text if they opted in, with a link to book the next one.
