Estimating and scheduling tools live in the cloud and need the office online.
The door codes were in a group text
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
A painting crew holds keys, alarm codes and garage combinations for every home on the schedule. For years those details lived in a group text on personal phones, including the phone of a painter who left last spring.
What a consultant changes
An advisor moves the crew to company numbers and managed devices, so messages stay with the business and a lost or departing phone can be wiped. Telecom and security are one conversation now, and a consultant who works across both can solve the problem without sending the owner to three different vendors.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for painters
- The advice
- An advisor recommends company numbers and managed phones, so customer messages and access details stay with the business. The comparison covers which mobile carriers and device management tools suit a crew that is always on site.
- The price
- Mobile lines, messaging and device management are quoted together. Plans are matched to light data use, which is what most painting crews need, so nobody pays for allowances they never touch.
- The service
- When someone joins or leaves, their phone is set up or wiped the same day. The advisor remains the single contact for the carrier and the management tool.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
