30% of admin time reclaimed each month with Joblogic

Before adopting Joblogic, William Austin Services relied on spreadsheets and paper job sheets that struggled to keep up with its nationwide growth. Managing hundreds of contracts this way created scheduling delays, limited visibility in the field and placed pressure on customer service. The team needed a smarter, connected system to reduce admin, speed up workflows and deliver consistent service at scale.

The story in brief

Managing hundreds of contracts across the UK while relying on spreadsheets and paper job sheets had become unsustainable for William Austin Services. With nearly 100 users coordinating work for major clients such as Holiday Inn, Buzz Bingo, and Hays Travel, the workload was significant. Scheduling delays were becoming common. A lack of real-time visibility, and slow invoicing also started to put pressure on efficiency and customer service.

Founded in 1976 and headquartered in the West Midlands, William Austin has spent almost five decades building a reputation as a trusted nationwide HVAC specialist. The company delivers maintenance, installation, plumbing, energy efficiency, and compliance services to a wide portfolio of clients across hospitality, leisure, retail, and public sectors.

The successful onboarding of 275 new retail sites made it clear that a smarter, more connected system was needed to handle operations at scale without adding to the admin burden.

Their Challenge

As contract volumes grew, William Austin recognised that manual processes could no longer deliver the speed and visibility required for nationwide operations. Managing job allocation through spreadsheets was slowing down response times, and the lack of real-time updates created gaps between the office and the field.
