Their Challenge

Vigil wanted to move away from a server-based system that made remote working difficult. They also needed a better quoting process, particularly the ability to convert quotes into jobs without re-entering information.

How Joblogic helped

Joblogic provided cloud access plus a mobile engineer app so engineers can receive, accept, and update jobs on the go, including capturing photos and signatures on site. Quoting links directly into job creation, purchase orders and invoicing, and accounts integration reduces manual data entry.

The outcome

Vigil improved day-to-day efficiency by allocating jobs directly to field staff, reducing admin time by avoiding duplicate entry when converting quotes to jobs, and cutting down manual accounting input through integration.

Challenge & Opportunity

Challenge

Vigil outgrew a server-based system that limited remote working and made quote-to-job handling more time-consuming than it needed to be.

The server-based system made remote working difficult for office staff and engineers

Quote information had to be entered again when creating jobs

Engineers needed a more efficient way to receive and update work in the field

Office teams had limited visibility of progress while engineers were on site

Quoting, purchasing, job delivery, and invoicing were not fully connected

Manual accounting input increased administration and the risk of errors

Opportunity

A cloud-based field service management system would help Vigil connect quoting, scheduling, field updates, and accounts, giving office teams and engineers a faster, more joined-up way to work.
