B-DACS
Contracts Manager Fraser McKie has been using Joblogic for over four and a half years. Before Joblogic came on board, BDACS was bogged down with manual processes that consumed valuable time and drove up staff costs. It also made it hard to get a clear picture of how the business was really performing.
The story in brief
B-DACS, founded in August 2003 by Brian Drummond, began as a small start-up operating from a modest home office in Mount Vernon, Glasgow. Built on Brian’s industry experience and commitment to customer service, the company has grown into a trusted provider of air conditioning services across Scotland, delivering installation, maintenance, and repair solutions for both commercial and residential clients.
Over the years, B-DACS has built a strong reputation for reliability, technical expertise, and high-quality workmanship. Working across a range of sectors, the company provides tailored air conditioning and ventilation solutions designed to maximise performance and energy efficiency.
Now a Mitsubishi Electric accredited installer and Diamond Quality Partner for over 10 years, B-DACS remains committed to delivering exceptional service and dependable solutions for its customers.
Fraser explains that the move to Joblogic was driven by the need to resolve longstanding challenges with manual processe
Joblogic has provided us with unparalleled insight into our business, delivering critical MI (management information) on profits, costings, and selling rates that empower us to make smarter decisions."
Since switching to Joblogic, B-DACS has seen several significant improvements in its daily operations
Why B-DACS chose Joblogic?
Fraser explains that the move to Joblogic was driven by the need to resolve longstanding challenges with manual processes:
By automating many of their everyday processes, they’ve reduced the repetitive manual work that once consumed significant time. This means tasks that used to slow down the day are now handled seamlessly, allowing the team to focus on more valuable work.
By cutting down on admin, Joblogic has helped reduce staff costs and save considerable admin time, which in turn has boosted overall productivity. This allows the team to allocate resources more effectively and spend more time on core activities that drive the business forward.
Joblogic provides much more management information and insight into their business, offering clearer views on profits, costings, and selling rates - which Fraser describes as completely invaluable. This feature gives them real-time financial clarity, helping the team make informed decisions about their operations.
The platform streamlines communications among engineers through an instant documentation process. This ensures that information is exchanged quickly and accurately, improving internal communication and reducing delays.
