Remote working without losing visibility at Wallace Contracts

The story in brief
Wallace Contracts Ltd is a well-established facilities management company with over 30 years of industry experience, based in Bangor, Northern Ireland. The company delivers a comprehensive range of services, including planned renovations, landscaping, new builds, and reactive maintenance, supporting both residential and commercial clients.
Renowned for its reliability and versatility, Wallace Contracts provides a 24/7 emergency maintenance service, ensuring rapid response to issues of any scale. The business works with a diverse client base, from homeowners to major corporate organisations, including well-known brands such as BT and Royal Mail.
With a strong focus on quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction, Wallace Contracts has built a reputation as a trusted partner in the facilities management sector, consistently delivering high standards across a wide range of projects and services.
As the business shifted into remote working, Wallace Contracts needed to keep job information centralised and visible to everyone, while reducing the risk of missed updates or misinformation between teams.
Joblogic’s cloud platform centralised job data and enabled real-time communication across the business. Online training supported adoption, and the web version improved usability, speed, and day-to-day access for both office staff and engineers.
Wallace Contracts improved efficiency and job tracking, with the flexibility for the whole team to work remotely and stay aligned through real-time updates and clearer visibility of job progress.

The Joblogic features Wallace Contracts uses most
The software allows multiple people to log and view jobs at the same time. Anthony and his team can see the status of each job in real-time as it progresses from creation to completion. Joblogic keeps both customers and management informed on job progress and an invoice can be sent instantly upon completion.
Dynamic Reporting Dashboards
Dynamic dashboards play an important part in the day-to-day operations of Wallace Contracts. Anthony and his team have access to an extensive custom-built reporting platform which has allowed their users to visualise company data and make informed business decisions. All important KPI’s can be analysed in real-time, including engineer productivity, job profitability and highest value customers.
Purchase Order
Wallace Contracts has also saved time with purchase ordering by giving engineers the ability to select parts that are needed on-site from a full parts library on their mobile device. This alerts the back office that parts are required and they can instantly raise the purchase order.
