PrecisionOps: Complete platform overview
If you run a service business, you already know the drill. You have one app for scheduling, another for invoicing, a spreadsheet for equipment records, sticky notes for callbacks, and a whiteboard that nobody updates after 10 a.m. Every platform promises to fix this. Most of them were built by software people who have never crawled through an attic or diagnosed a compressor failure in August heat.
PrecisionOps is different because it was built by someone who spent over a decade in the service trades -- HVAC, handyman work, the whole range. It is a single platform that handles every part of your operation, from the moment a customer calls to the moment you collect payment. It works on Windows, Android, iOS, and the web. And it works offline, because cell signal in a basement is not something you can count on.
What PrecisionOps Does
At its core, PrecisionOps is field service management software. But calling it that undersells it. It is the system that replaces the patchwork of tools most service companies cobble together over years. Job tracking, scheduling, dispatch, equipment records, invoicing, fleet management, inventory, team management, diagnostics, compliance tracking, and a customer portal -- all in one place. No more exporting from one system and importing into another. No more paying for six subscriptions that do not talk to each other.
The platform is organized into departments, each handling a distinct area of your business. You do not need to use all of them on day one. Start with scheduling and invoicing, then expand into equipment tracking and fleet management as your team gets comfortable. Everything connects, so a job you create in scheduling flows through dispatch, links to equipment records, generates an invoice, and shows up in your reporting -- without you re-entering data.
The Departments
PrecisionOps is organized into departments that mirror how a real service company operates. Here is what each one handles and why it matters.
- Scheduling — job creation, recurring jobs, drag-and-drop calendar, conflict detection
- Dispatch — dispatch board, technician assignment, GPS tracking, route optimization
- Equipment — unit tracking, data plate OCR, service history, warranty management
- Diagnostics — superheat/subcooling, pattern recognition, auto-reports
- Invoicing — job-to-invoice, Tap to Pay, QuickBooks sync, recurring billing
- Fleet — vehicle tracking, maintenance schedules, mileage, fuel
- Inventory — van stock per truck, reorder alerts, transfers
- Team — time tracking, on-call, payroll, role-based permissions
- Customer Portal — equipment view, estimates, payments, service requests
- Compliance — EPA 608, NATE, state licenses, insurance tracking
- Dashboard — revenue tracking, analytics, customer communications
Built by a Technician
Most field service software is designed by people who have never loaded a van at 6 a.m. or tried to pull up a customer's equipment history while standing in a mechanical room with no cell service. PrecisionOps comes from more than ten years of actually doing the work -- running service calls, managing crews, dealing with the daily chaos that comes with field service.
That experience shows up in the details. The interface is designed around how technicians actually work, not how a product manager imagines they work. Readings can be logged by voice when your hands are full of refrigerant gauges. Equipment data can be captured by pointing your phone at a data plate instead of squinting at faded labels and typing serial numbers one character at a time. The dispatch board shows what dispatchers actually need to see, not a pretty dashboard that looks great in a demo but falls apart on a busy Monday morning.
Offline-First
This is not a feature that gets bolted on as an afterthought. PrecisionOps was designed from the ground up to work without an internet connection. When you are in a basement, a crawlspace, a mechanical room, or a rural property with no cell signal, the platform keeps working. You can create jobs, log readings, capture equipment data, update job statuses, and build invoices -- all offline.
When you do get a connection back, everything syncs automatically. No manual uploads, no lost data, no "please try again when you have better signal." This matters because the places where technicians do their work are often the places where connectivity is worst. A platform that requires a constant internet connection is a platform that fails you exactly when you need it most.
Trade-Agnostic
PrecisionOps is not just for HVAC. The platform is built to work across the service trades -- plumbing, electrical, handyman, appliance repair, carpet cleaning, pressure washing, and anything else where you send people to a customer's location to do work. Custom pricebooks let you define your own services, parts, and pricing structures. Custom forms let you build inspection checklists, intake forms, and documentation templates that match your specific trade and workflow.
The diagnostics features are particularly deep for HVAC -- superheat, subcooling, temperature split calculations, and pattern recognition for common issues. But the core platform is trade-agnostic. If you schedule jobs, track equipment, manage a team, and send invoices, PrecisionOps handles it regardless of what trade you are in.
